One bit of good news. The House, Senate, and President passed and signed into law the Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act, introduced in 2023 by U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) on December 19. A little flicker of light.
@SjMager@bennyjohnson Good news, a CDL already requires documentation of US citizenship, permanent residency, or non-domicile document. Maybe it’s increasing the fines to employers that’s needed.
@grahamallen Good news, I personally know friends and acquaintances that participated in #HandsOff rallies today. Active constituents committed to fairness and equality and definitely NOT paid
@HawleyMO Good news, yes I remember the past AND can pay attention to current events. How about sending me your SS# and bank account # on open source Signal. No worries, Doge eliminated funding to the Open Technology Fund. Hegseth, China, Iran, and Radio Free Europe may all lose access
@nxthompson Good news. Doge recently shutdown the US Agency for Global Media and the Open Technology Fund which helps fund non profit open source Signal. Hegseth and others may lose access to Signal too
@atrupar Good news. Doge recently shutdown the US Agency for Global Media and the Open Technology Fund which helps fund non profit open source Signal. Not only 146K Cubans may lose internet access but Hegseth and others may lose Signal too

Good news, operation stork speed pushing for healthier baby formula. Now RFK just needs to convince doge to not cut FDA so it actually happens and to not cut SNAP/WIC so formula is available to our most vulnerable
No good news today. No applause. The house budget bill continues to increase the debt and continues to provide tax relief only for the top 1% and corporations.
@LArecruiter@news_barron The BUILD Act 2018, included USAID, & established the IDFC so that development financing could be expanded and access more private capital. The 116th congress enthusiasm then seems to have been forgotten
@TomCottonAR USAID funding and performance is the responsibility of congress. Our representatives must take responsibility for their voting records and oversight accountability. OIG fined Chemonics >$3M for fraud billing Jun 2017 to Mar 2020. Non partisan problem with non partisan solutions
Good news, Indian Health Services layoff notices have been rescinded for the 1,000 employees impacted. IHS already running at a 30% vacancy rate while providing healthcare to 2.5 American Indians and Alaska Natives.
