Bribery in plain sight.

So now the Orange One is renaming another gulf, this one not even in our hemisphere. He has already renamed a mountain. So what’s next? Oceans? Countries? Continents? Planets? Galaxies? Megalomania marches on. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

"Apocalypse." "Catastrophe." That's how scientists are describing Trump's latest funding freeze. This war on science is an innovation-killer. Where does Trump think things like MRIs, computers, touch screens, GPS, mRNA vaccines, and the internet came from?

Scientists deem Trump’s latest funding freeze a “slow-moving apocalypse”

The National Science Foundation has long been a crucial supporter of research and science eduction.

The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has made it easy for you to reach out to your local representatives asking them to sign a bipartisan Congressional letter advocating for continued funding of NASA's science portfolio. aas.org/urge-nasa-supp…

They were kids and cops and other victims of gun violence. Trump can take down their faces, but he’ll never erase memories of them. wapo.st/3Yu9wzH

Memorial to victims of gun violence taken down at ATF headquarters

The “Faces of Gun Violence” memorial was installed at ATF in 2024 to remind the workforce of the human toll.

Steven J. Hatfill, a virologist and White House adviser during Trump’s first term who pushed hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid is now a special adviser at a small HHS agency responsible for preparing the U.S. for disasters such as pandemics and biological and chemical attacks. 😳

How out of it do you have to be to think that most little girls get 30 dolls for Christmas! Millions of little girls are thrilled to get one doll as a present. Sadly many of those little girls will be seeing a hard candy Christmas with the orange guy in office. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

Yesterday’s turnout at my polling place was slightly better than I expected. We voted 11 people instead of my predicted 8 to 10. Not really surprising since we were in a very urban location for very suburban elections.

Tomorrow is election day. As usual I’ll be running a polling place. I like to provide food for the election workers since they get there at 5:30 am & work til about 8 pm. Would be great If you can pitch in a few $$ to help pay for this. ko-fi.com/poppynorthcutt

If you’re able to see the total lunar eclipse later this week, just know that as you watch it, the new Blue Ghost lunar lander that @Firefly_Space landed last week will be taking a photo of you, on the Earth, eclipsing the Sun!

As we in Texas are fighting to protect our public schools from vouchers, a case before SCOTUS out of Oklahoma would do further damage. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social nytimes.com/2025/03/09/opi… via @NYTOpinion

Tonight @maddow.msnbc.com said Musk is taking an interest in the courts. Not news here in TX. He put millions into a PAC that ran attack ads against Dem state judges & pushed GOP judicial candidates. Result: losing Dem majorities on appellate courts in metro areas. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

SCOTUS gave abortion clinics a rare win yesterday when they declined to take up a pair of cases seeking to challenge a decades-old decision limiting protesters’ actions near the entrances of abortion clinics. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

SCOTUS just gave abortion clinics a rare win

But more significant threats from Trump's Department of Justice remain

This is what Democrats are doing!
