Anybody else notice that the House Bill for “Life at Conception” has suddenly added a lot more Republicans co-sponsors? Up to almost 100 now. Is this a stealth push to the floor? Worth watching. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Thank you to whoever leaked the fact that some Dems considered caving. That is not an option. We all want the government open but we need ACA subsidies officially extended. Pen to paper. Nothing less. Period.

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

Heads up, @joycewhitevance.bsky.social about the EAC regulation. They are spamming the regulatory web site with almost the exact same narratives to support the implementation of citizenship verification. Just thought you should know.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Scoop: last night at 4:49 pm OPM staff got an email saying the "fork in the road" buyout was subject to appropriations, some employees would need to work beyond their dates to get it, and the terms of their contract may change. This was after both shifts had left for the day. Almost no one saw it
