"This is a time to rally to protect the health of every American. Congress must exercise its oversight authority over H.H.S. State and local governments must fill funding gaps where they can. Philanthropy and the private sector must step up their community investments."
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
This seems exceptionally unhinged, even for Trump.
“You have to let us break the law or we will be embarrassed” is not a good legal argument

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains

I hate Bill Maher, but think he has this right unfortunately.

Trump’s tweets now just seem like boring less funny versions of Newsom’s imitations The cover band is better than the original band
NEW: Tarrant County, TX officials said the move to cut more than 100 polling sites was to save money as they historically see low voter turnout in nonpresidential elections. But fewer voting sites means fewer voters, a political science expert said. @fortworthreport.bsky.social @texastribune.org
I find this delightful.

Rep. Collier spent the night locked inside the TX capitol for refusing to sign a “permission slip” allowing police to monitor her every move. This isn’t lawmaking—it’s authoritarianism. When elected officials are confined for resisting a rigged vote, democracy is in danger.
"The main reason Democrats are disadvantaged is because they aren’t fascist authoritarians and have a commitment to good government and fairness. Blue states like California and New York have provisions in place that make it more difficult for them to redistrict."
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has posted statement saying: “American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is UnAmerican”
Fairbanks peeps! ICE abducted Atcharee in town. Let’s rally to bring attention to this and get her back. Rally at Peger and Airport, Saturday 8/23- From noon to 1pm. Pass it on! Thanks
19/ We're not going to see The Epstein Files unless they're leaked—or unless they're so destroyed before release that they don't resemble their original form. Donald Trump would rather start a civil war than reveal what he's done. I'd wager that he'd even rather start a *nuclear* war then do so.

Going on vacation tomorrow so spent Saturday night making maps of all the places in Ohio, West Virginia and South Carolina with higher violent crime and murder rates than D.C. Perhaps better places for those governors to focus resources! www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

Fawk. Mendenhall Lake passed its highest ever flood level and is still rising. Glacier lake outburst flood. Hoping it doesn’t overtop the Hesco barriers.

The tariffs brought in an additional $21 billion in July. The U.S. monthly GDP is about $30 trillion. While targeted businesses and commodities are suffering this explains why inflation hasn't really spiked (yet!) www.cnbc.com/2025/08/12/u...

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Awkward moment for SenDanSullivan: Politico reports he was blocking confirmation of top Navy officer just as he was on the floor denouncing Democrats for slow-walking confirmations alaskapublic.org/news/2025-08...

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.
If a global company is paying its workers so little that they need federal benefits, that company should lose eligibility for tax incentives.

The ACLU may seek en banc review of this, which remains one of the few options for direct accountability.
The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

The current Trump administration has made 70% more changes to government environmental websites during its first 100 days than the first Trump administration did. My @npr.org Climate Desk story: www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...
Anchorage businesses are less confident than they have been since the pandemic, as President Donald Trump’s tariffs, federal layoffs and cuts to grants weigh on their outlook, according to a new survey.

Not great that people like Micah Beckwith are in positions of power but don’t understand how our constitution works, and are arrogant in their ignorance.

They "don't believe in erasing American history." Unless you're talking about slavery. Or the genocide of Indigenous people. Or Japanese internment camps. Or the Tulsa massacre. Or Jim Crow. Or January 6th.
The Republican Party has become a magnet for toxic people like this.

Ahem.

Here's another organization that is feeding hungry people. I bet they could use some help, too.
MAGA = Morons Are Governing America 🤢
I actually believe impassioned speeches irl are a big part of how we get out of this mess
Looks like the convicted felon president is using some of that MAGA math where truth is never part of the equation. 🤨
