A2 Studying history is reading and discussing the stories historians have created about the past. Doing history is identifying questions about the past, researching evidence relevant to answering those questions, then creating your own stories from that evidence. #sschat

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett asks the Mayors whether there are any immigrants roaming around their cities with 34 felony convictions (all answered no), "because that could be a danger to the community." She is a national treasure.

Quick reminder ahead of Donald Trump’s speech tonight:
He promised that he would “immediately bring prices down, starting on Day 1.”
It’s now Day 44.
Prices have gone up.
Inflation’s gotten worse.
And Trump’s done nothing to lower costs for working people.

#PPOD: Uranus Wide-Field
In the center of this wide-field image from @NASA_Webb 🛰️ is #Uranus, one of the ringed planets 🪐 of our solar system. That's an amazing capture, and it would be extraordinary on its own. But also captured are 14 of the planet’s 27 #moons 🌖: Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, Juliet, Perdita, Rosalind, Puck, Belinda, Desdemona, Cressida, Ariel, Miranda, Bianca, and Portia. Except for the few stars with diffraction spikes, everything else is a #galaxy!

ALT A wide-field image of Uranus (near the center), taken in the infrared by JWST, shows the glow of the perpendicular rings around the planet. Several stars can be seen and recognized by their tell-tale diffraction spikes. 14 small dots are the moons of Uranus. And everything else in the image is a distant galaxy, ranging from on-edge spirals to faint blobs.

Today, most of us take for granted abundant food, clean water, energy, and health. But this wasn’t always the case, as @CharlesCMann writes, “In Jefferson’s time, not even the president of the United States had what we have.” thefp.com/p/we-live-like-roy…

Hey, MAGAs this is what you voted for. We tried to rein in the GOP, save your Medicaid, collect more tax money from billionaires & get tax cuts for less wealthy Americans but the GOP in Congress voted NO. Let’s hope the Senate is not filled with GOP cowards!
McGovern: Democrats offered an amendment to protect Medicaid. Every Republican voted no.
Democrats offered an amendment to extend tax cuts for people making under $400,000 while ensuring that corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. Every Republican voted no.
Democrats offered an amendment preventing tax giveaways for people earning over $1 million a year. Every Republican voted no.
We asked them to vote against tax breaks for people earning over $100 million per year. Every Republican voted no.
We offered an amendment preventing tax cuts for people with a net worth of over, get this $1 billion. Every Republican voted no.
They betrayed their constituents. They voted to steal from the American people in order to protect tax breaks for billionaires

There are no more Disease Detectives @CDCgov -- the Epidemic Intelligence Service is shut down, kaput. The EIS has for decades been the world's top outbreak investigation unit. So, States -- you're on your own now. Good luck solving mysterious ailments in Alabama.

Speaker Mike Johnson said proxy voting was "unconstitutional" (after he did it himself—39 times.)
Last week, GOP Rep. Byron Donalds voted remotely—while in LA. Let's just call that what it is. It's voter fraud.
Maybe he thought nobody would notice. I noticed.
