Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.
Remember when Fox News paid 787 million for promoting lies about the 2020 election?
It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

The BBB gives $45 Billion for expansion of immigration detention (up from $3.9 billion this year) to create a system of mass detention larger than the federal prison system. What is cut instead? $11 billion for Pell grants; $23 billion for nursing home staff; $40 billion for food stamp matching fund
Here's a tariff. Here's a deportation. Here's a Christian nationalist order. Here's the defunding of schools and libraries and museums and medical research. Here's higher prices on every good. Here's a cut to gut childcare. Here's soaring rents and stagnant wages. Are we great yet?
Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.
Start here adorn yourself in forgiveness let the first steps of the journey be kind and gentle let the flowers be for you without guilt let the breath you hold be released let the #velveteen chains be broken no matter how alluring they be you were never meant for captivity #vss365 #poetry

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last yr.Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.
Literally everything we warned everybody about is happening
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
