BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to cut off food assistance for 42 million people during the ongoing government shutdown.

We'll keep fighting to ensure that federal programs serve their lawful purpose: to help, not harm, people and communities.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

This is nightmarish.

Thirty to forty-plus inches more rain.

No community is designed/built to shrug off teh flooding that come from that kind of deluge.
Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

Speaker Johnson should be removed for violating the Constitutional rights of AZ-2, and by extension the rights of all Americans by keeping the House adjourned. The People have business to attend to! Administrate the oath and let all go on record on releasing the Epstein files!

And wait... how much money did Trump just promise Argentina?

How much is Trump spending on his new ballroom?

Federal workers across the country are not getting paychecks this week. Food banks are feeling the strain of federal employees who need help feeding their families.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.
This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Many people noticed plainlanguage.gov was migrated to digital.gov/topics/plain..., where it has been *consolidated*.

Our friends at @alt18f.bsky.social posted a version of the original content at plainlanguage.18f.org

Unlike other sites that have disappeared, this one just changed.

“More than 2,300 armed National Guard troops are currently patrolling the District unlawfully. That unprecedented deployment is inflicting irreparable harm to the District’s sovereignty, its economy, and public safety.”
The Trump administration lobbied Wednesday evening for a freeze of Washington D.C.’s attempt to eject a couple thousand National Guard from the district.

The US govt is now shutdown, Republicans keep illegally dismantling basic services while Dems host pressers and send angry letters.

Our leaders have failed us and we need a new approach.

The Moonlight Movement is organizing a fresh creative strategy to fight back, but we need your help, a thread ➡️

By seeking to make authoritarianism bipartisan in DC, Muriel Bowser has made herself an international disgrace.

Top leaders of both parties in DC are now collaborating to drag dads out of car windows and throw moms down on pavement. Meanwhile 80% of DC residents oppose the occupation.

RIGHT NOW is likely a pivotal moment in US history. Dictators almost always take over capital cities, usually by force, to assert power and control.

A thread to help make sense of this moment and how we fight back:

New tactic: FreeDC is calling on everyone in the Capitol to make loud noise every day of the military occupation of DC.

If you live in DC, take 3 minutes every day at 8pm - play your trumpet on the stoop baby.

If you aren’t in DC, text someone who is and ask them to holler nightly at 8!

NEW: Tucson city council has UNANIMOUSLY rejected the water guzzling “project blue” data center after brave organizing from neighbors.

Data centers are being built all over to benefit billionaires at the expense of water, land and people, and Tucsonians are modeling how to say enough is enough.

Today Amazon released its “Sustainability” report. Predictably, what it leaves out is vastly more important than what it says.

Amazon is building a dirty energy empire, spending literally hundreds of billions on data centers that will rely primarily on new fossil fuel infrastructure.

Did you know 338 rural American hospitals could be pushed to close by politicians?

Senate Republicans are hoping to pass a big horrible bill TOMORROW, and the severe cuts to Medicaid would threaten the closure of hospitals in nearly every state, harming millions of people they “represent.” LIST➡️

We need everyone. No experience required to run for office, just a hunger to keep our freedoms & pursuit of happiness.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI wants you to use your energy this morning to help stop the massive cuts to healthcare, SNAP, clean energy, public lands, and more moving in the US Senate tomorrow!
