Pie chart of federal budget showing military spending near 50%

Pie chart of federal budget showing military spending near 50%

If the DOGE is really concerned about federal waste and spending, why are they not focusing on the military where most of the budget is spent?
I bet there are some cushy contracts to renegotiate

I agree with them. If you want to cut it, you need to go through Congress.

My favorite podcast that breaks down the law.
@kateshaw.bsky.social did ask a question I’ve had: how can a President be a plaintiff if he can’t be a defendant??

Shutting down funding to Lutheran Social Services because they are receiving illegal payments? For helping children, families, and also immigrants?

Are they going to do the same to Catholic Charities? Other religious social services?

It snowed today for the first time this year. It’s beautiful and cozy. I’m going to snuggle in and read about murder on the quaint British seaside. #booksky

100% Abandon. Sometimes I check goodreads reviews before I do so. But I usually abandon. I can try again later if I see the book again and it interests me.

Nice theory. But right now there is not much states can do since everything is happening in DC which is federal jurisdiction

I love this: β€œwork on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.”

It is good to focus on what you, yourself can do in a time of chaos. I can tend my little corner.

Realizing my personal beliefs in autonomy did not match up with the Missouri Synod beliefs. They are anti-choice, anti-queer, etc.

The feeling of not belonging in a space that once felt so comforting has kept me away.
