They're not "now moving on to..." Folks with #disabilities have been at the top of the hit list since Trump took office. It's not a contest—the cuts to USAID are monstrous and bigoted—but I want to point out that they saw it coming, warned us, and were mostly ignored. bsky.app/profile/novi...
This is absolutely terrible news.
With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

They gutted CDC, FDA, NIH, HHS. They know this will kill people.
And they did it on April Fool’s day, like it’s a joke to them.
😡!
Almost every federal employee makes 10-25% less than the private sector equivalent. Feds work for the government because it’s how they serve their country.
Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.
Everyone reading this page must play a role in stopping the madness. Today I want to focus on some hard work with family/friends. We all have people we love who voted for Trump. Many have been sucked in by lies and misinformation. I know it feels hopeless, but we need you to talk to them.
Long 🧵.
I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.
Another quarter, another continuing resolution proposed by the GOP to keep the government from shutting down. They’ve done this before so many times, but this one is different because of who’s in the WH now. I explain in my write-up: buff.ly/WWRQyvU
President Trump is preparing to sign an order that would instruct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin dismantling the Education Department, setting the stage for a potential power struggle with Congress and another round of legal challenges from opponents.
If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.
Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…
I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.
Here's how a REAL President that is NOT a Traitor & mouthpiece for Russia, TREATS a war devastated country leader. Thank you, President Biden!
America STANDS with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy. 🇺🇦💜
We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.
New, from @pamherd.bsky.social & I:
Trump said "Social Security would not be touched."
Now the Trump admin proposes a 50% cut in Social Security employees.
This will absolutely gut SSA's ability to serve everyone who depends on the program - which is everyone. 🧵

I created this site for federal employees with a bunch of useful resources—food assistance, financial support, housing help, and more. If you or someone you know could use it, here’s the link:

Feel free to pass it along to anyone who might find it helpful! 🤝✨
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.
Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone.
Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.
The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
Republicans just took their first step to give a massive tax break for the richest of the rich – paid for by slashing Medicaid, ripping health care from kids and seniors, and gutting food assistance for families.
I stand with Wisconsin families. We're going to fight back.
We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward.
Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it.

What's "going to happen" for which military lawyers will be a "roadblock?"
