Food prices climb because Trump's trade policies broke supply networks. Your grocery bills display this economic chaos. Working families pay while billionaires and corporations profit from the disaster he created and Republicans in Congress enabled. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy
Hearing that they couldn't treat roads as well because of rain today.
Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."
Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.
Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!
I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.
It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.
Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.
So, this happened today. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:
Someone help me understand... the city of New Orleans asked the fed govt for a higher security rating for NYE and the Sugar Bowl. Fed said no (Nat Guard will be there). But Fed is deploying ICE in the city starting Jan 1. #nola #neworleans #nolasky
A USPS mailbox in New York City
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
Let’s remember that if you reside in: New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, or Washington- come January 1, 2026 Medicare patients will be piloting a prior authorization program that not only utilizes AI as a decision maker, but that also gives vendors financial incentive to deny services…
Dear @cbssports.bsky.social NORTHERN Ireland (UK) is a different country than Ireland. Stop calling saying that Ireland is cheering for Charlie Smyth or that he's the pride of Ireland. He's Irish, but from Northern Ireland.
There's a lot going on, but I love the details on the stairs (the wood trim, nice blue, darker wood rails, well done). I could care less for the rest.
As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
-FDR, 1937
Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.
The last 5 days have been a marathon. I could complain about lack of sleep, but they gave me so much. 3 days on Kairos w/ our Juniors was magical. And 2 inspiring days at the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice. There is so much hope in our future generation.

2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …
Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.
Adaptation 🤝 Mitigation
So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry.
Amazing.
Isn't the White House a National Historic site? There are layers of information that are needed to make modifications to Historical sites, especially on the exterior.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.
