I'm clever sometimes.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

At President Donald Trump's request, Congress has clawed back more than $9 billion of already approved federal funding, largely for foreign aid programs and public broadcasting.

The House approved the final version of the legislation early Friday, the deadline for the president's request.

PBS News' @LisaDNews takes a closer look at how these programs will be affected by the cuts.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but taking $9.4 billion from global aid, PBS, and NPR isn't saving money when you've just passed tax breaks for the rich that add $3.4 TRILLION to the deficit.

this sign gonna be in a museum in a decade and everyone who was excited about this will have to pretend they knew it was inhumane

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

[The Associated Press @AP]

At the inaugural prayer service, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump to have mercy on the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers.

What kind of wine goes with the end of democracy?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.

Well, that's changed.

When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.

We must fight back.

Cats! Dogs! Geese! Laura Loomer! Look, now he’s attacking Taylor!

Like the last season before a show gets canceled for getting over-the-top and, at the same time, boring.

This election is about jobs, wages, climate, health care, abortion. Not his show. Your life.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Kamala Harris is running to protect our freedom.
Donald Trump is running to protect his freedom.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Yeah we do have "after birth" executions they're called school shootings.

“I’ve been pretty good at predictions” says the guy who said in early 2020 that covid would disappear “like a miracle”

[Lis Smith @Lis_Smith]

This is how you debate Trump - you confront him on his lies, bait him on his weak points, avoid following him down every rabbit hole/responding to every crazy utterance, and laugh off his obviously unhinged comments.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

The Panhandle is the reddest part of Texas.

But I drove up to Amarillo to campaign for @ColinAllredTX — and it was PACKED.

Texas is ready to fire Ted Cruz.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Back to school season shouldn’t be the start of school shooting season. Literally no other developed country has anywhere near the level of gun violence we have in this country and it’s fucking unacceptable we act like there’s nothing we can do.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Former Trump WH Press Secretary @OMGrisham at the DNC:

“Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them 'basement dwellers’…Here I am behind a podium advocating for a Democrat, and that’s because I love my country more than my party”

@alysagvillelli So much good energy 🙌🤩

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Remember that all of this is a strategy. The politics of outrage and insult are the last refuge of a politician who cannot defend his own plans.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Anyway... ultimately, regardless of what happens nationally, the most important fights are local elections. Don't ever lose sight of those. The modern reactionary movement got its start in those kinds of races, and so much good can be done locally, in state houses, and more.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

The stakes are quite high for so many people and after covering the reactionary anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans movement for 5 years now, a Trump 2 era would nationalize everything I've seen in Republican statehouses across the United States.
