Backyard slaughter, small local family butchers -- there is no humane way to kill someone who doesn't want to die, and not justifiable reason when no human needs animal products to survive

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Big Journalism (esp. @nytimes.com) failed to adequately & accurately cover the #handsoff pro-democracy demonstrations. Local outlets did *much* better. Newsroom leaders need to defend democracy from autocracy. Read our latest blog post. 1/n mediaanddemocracyproject.substack.com/p/local-news...

Local news outlets show the New York Times how to cover the growing pro-democracy movement.
The NYTimes leadership is still indifferent to democracy. Just look at its front page.

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.
Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump).
	•	Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges.
	•	Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side.
	•	A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush.
	•	The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

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

It's so weird. In every video clip I see of Trump, he sounds and looks like a dottering old man. He falls asleep, he slurs his words, he slumps. Why are people so afraid of him? Does he have another persona that we never see?

Consuming dairy for calcium is like smoking cigarettes for oxygen. Eliminate the cancer-causing, environment-destroying animal torture and get your calcium from plants. Kale contains 250 mg per cup (more than milk). Also: spinach & broccoli, sesame & sunflower seeds, nugs, figs, beans, tofu & more!
