The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working to reverse the “accidental” firing of several employees responding to an avian influenza outbreak. While the CDC says the public risk is low, the crisis is hitting the agriculture sector hard, driving egg prices to record highs.

I fully support #Palestine staying in the #GazaStrip. Palestinians need a state of their own. This is the only pathway to peace. #Trump sees them instead as pawns in the game of luxury #realestate, calling the Levant “the Riviera of the #MiddleEast,” per @bloomberg.com

Disgusting. 🤢

#Gaza

I warned people this would happen. 🫠👀🤷‍♀️

CHIRLA condemns the use of Guantanamo Bay detention camps in Cuba to incarcerate immigrants who consider the U.S. their home. It is grotesque, inhumane, & costly to imprison immigrants at Guantanamo, where they face indefinite detention & a lack of due process.

I'm still on Twitter. It's worse than ever.

Thank you, Stephen King, for sharing such an image. 💯

I hope that dream turns into a novel or film of some sort. 😉🙌

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Per @bloomberg.com:

The Trump admin will be applying tariffs to pharmaceuticals. It appears that move is coming into effect as of today, Feb. 1.

Let that one sink in. 🫣

Medication cost SHOULD always stay as low as possible.

We need a moral revival.

#Trump, of course, is going after #JeromePowell at the Fed, regarding interest rates (it was coming.)

@bloomberg.com just reported that Trump’s response to J. Powell & his stance on rates is simply this:

“I know better than him.”

To most people, I believe, this isn’t a sufficient response.
🤣🥶💁‍♀️

New RULE effective immediately. Karoline Leavitt will now always be referred to as KAREN Leavitt. Please apply immediately.

Thank you for your time

Truth.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.

The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.

Good job, friends.

About that first press conference, featuring #KarolineLeavitt.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.

It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

Boom. ⬇️ #Greenland #Trump

Wowza. 🤭

“‘We have a mandate not to leave our brothers & sisters out there…’

[Smith-Pollard] said almost every faith leader she knows is involved in some way…collecting aid, others are helping church or community members find housing…others are using their social media to highlight fundraising requests.”

Trump's immigration orders rebuked by Christian leaders Many of the policies championed by Trump have roots in Christian nationalism that several churches reject.

The bishop who pleaded at the inaugural prayer service for President Trump to “have mercy” defends her sermon.

In sermon to Trump, Bishop Budde pleads for immigrants, transgender rights WASHINGTON (RNS) — The inaugural prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday morning featured a number of interfaith leaders, including the Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bis...

May God bless and keep Bishop Mariann Budde. A faithful #Christian, she prophetically warned the world today that the #MAGA movement is incompatible with #Jesus' teachings. She refused to bend the knee and kiss the ring. She did what Christians should. religionnews.com/2025/01/21/i...

2. What we heard yesterday was the Gospel of Jesus preached: compassion, mercy, & justice. You don't hear that message in the white conservative evangelical churches Trump uses as photo ops.

No apologies, Mr. Trump. Christian clergy should never bend the knee or kiss the ring.

I call on all priests, pastors, etc. to follow Rev. Budde’s example.

#Inauguration2025 #NationalCathedral #ChristianNationalism #ReverendBudde #MariannBudde

This is at the National Cathedral in DC. That's Trump and co. right there in the front. Rev. Budde said this right to his goddam face.

If you're in a position of power and privilege, are opposed to what's happening, and get given a literal podium from which to speak?

This is how you fucking do it.

Trump's Day One executive orders:

-Ended recognition of birthright citizenship
-Withdrew from WHO and Paris Climate Accord
-Rescinded Biden's EO to lower Rx costs
-Pardoned Jan 6 rioters
-Renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America

So much for helping working families.
