2 key special elections can shift power in Congress + protect our democracy. These races will help determine whether we can stop dangerous policies and ensure fair representation for all.

The MAGA faux outrage about @therickwilson.bsky.social's Substack article won't change the truth: Tesla's in a tailspin, Musk is a moron, and DOGE is a disaster. Rick has nothing to do with that. Volume up to hear Rick on TMZ this week.

The courts have ordered Chump rehire park service employees. Not half of them, all of them.

The single most important thing you can do is visible protest. Don't let that bastad think he's getting away with it.

Resist

Less than half of national parks workers rehired, including in Texas
Despite court rulings, the National Park Service only rehired 400 employees who were fired in February.

The blackout doesn’t have to end today. Commit to spending your dollars locally so they stay out of the hands of mega corporations and billionaires. Follow our boycott guide and continue to support micro economies in your local town or city.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

We suggest voting with your spending.
We can best help our friends by not supporting the companies that don't support them. Dividing us is their first goal. Fact is this is how the holocaust started. Creating divisions and vilifying "the other guy"

This is what it looks like when you follow the law instead of a convicted felon.
The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
