@propublica.org I recently discovered ProPublica's Congress API, but it appears to be shut down. However, I can't find any information online about when or why it was shut down.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels. The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources. It’s time for accountability.

While ICE is killing innocent people, teargassing babies and pastors, and kidnapping our neighbors to ship them off to foreign torture prisons, seven House Democrats just voted with the GOP to give the regime’s secret police even more funding.
THESE DEMOCRATS JUST VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS TO GIVE ICE MORE MONEY

Everybody is looking forward to the next No Kings Day in the spring. The official date will be announced once we land this with the full No Kings coalition, but trust us that it’s coming. And we can’t wait, either. ❌👑

TypeScript is a psychology experiment designed to see if you can read "the JavaScript API you know and love, but with the safety of strong typing!" and get so distracted by how much you like strongly typed languages that you forget that you do not, in fact, neither know nor love the JavaScript API

I stand in strong solidarity with workers at Caesars Horseshoe casino in Indianapolis who are on strike against corporate greed. If Caesars can afford to pay its CEO $18 million and spend $50 million on stock buybacks, it can afford to treat all of its workers with respect.

Tonight, in the final debate of his decades in power or desperately pursuing it, you will hear from Andrew Cuomo the same arrogance, the same entitlement, the same excuses for a broken status quo he's long maintained. New Yorkers are ready for change.

No. I will not vote to allow 15 million people to lose their health insurance and watch 50,000 Americans die each year unnecessarily. No. I will not vote to double premiums for 20 million. Republicans must come to the table and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.
A four-panel comic.

Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?"

She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died."

Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?"

She: "So sad."

Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie.

She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!"

He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!"

Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here."

The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"

A silhouette of a baby rendered in hazy blues is laid over the planet Jupiter with only a sliver of stormy surface showing against starry space. An obelisk filled with stars is positioned over both—transparent where it overlays the baby's eyes and nose. A long slender spaceship with spherical nose section dominates the foreground. Pointed away from the planet and positioned within reach of Starchild's clasped hands, the ship resembles a baby rattle.
