Update—Democrats: Forget the signs. Call out the truth. Get loud. Take a stand. They kicked your colleague Rep. Al Green out for making his voice heard. Meet the moment. They would & have done this to you. Why are you rolling over & playing dead?

Only dumbass right wingers would look at a guy whose last venture involved destroying 80% of a company's value and who keeps causing international incidents by crashing shit and say, "Let's give THAT guy unfettered access to remake the Federal govt."
Wages for Senators and House members: $174,000 X 531 members and Leaders get $223,500 and minority get $193,400, PLUS IN 2025 they get $843.6 Million to run offices and meet with constituents and travel etc. That’s $1,576,822 per representative. This seems like a good place to start with GOP waste and abuse since they are not honoring their oaths under Article 1 or the Constitution. #uspol #NoServicesNoTaxes

"Even #court challenges are no match for Trump’s ideological army & #Elon Musk’s #digital SWAT team.

Federal judge Amy Berman Jackson summed up the threat...

it would be “choked out of its very existence before I get to rule on the merits.” IOW, #Trump & #Musk could outrun the rule of #law, rendering it irrelevant."

Jack Daniel’s maker says Canada pulling U.S. alcohol off store shelves is ‘worse than a tariff’

The #Ontario LCBO the only seller of alcohol in the largest province in Canada, the largest single purchaser of spirits in North America has pulled #JackDaniels off its shelves and the other provinces in #Canada have as well

This is going to hit Moore Cnty TN (where it’s made) hard along with KY where other whiskeys are made— Guess who the majority of folks there voted for?

Jack Daniel’s maker says Canada pulling U.S. alcohol off store shelves is ‘worse than a tariff’

Brown Forman CEO Lawson Whiting said the move is a ‘disproportionate response’ to levies imposed by the Trump administration

A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website exactly as it was the day Donald Trump was inaugurated. The site, called RestoredCDC.org, went live Tuesday and is currently being hosted in Europe.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

https://18f.org/

18F: We are dedicated to the American public and we're not done yet

For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving the American people to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.

I think it's critical not just to condemn Trump's and Vance's disgraceful treatment of Zelensky in the Oval Office, but also to reject the administration's implicit framing of US assistance as being about getting the "best deal" for us.

Aid to Ukraine is not a business deal. It is about bolstering the defenses of an ally facing an existential threat and about containing an aggressive menace to international peace.
