YouTube video by Robert Reich The REAL Waste That DOGE Should Cut

DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections.

If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

Watch my latest video: youtu.be/2hVMghqarHY?...

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:

Congress must immediately act.

That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

The CDC datasets shared yesterday were not ideal for everyone to archive. They were loose files, and uncompressed.

I've compressed and tarred them up.

It's uploading to archive.org, but their ingest is very slow. This URL will redirect there once done, and until then, to Dropbox.

Thank you. I’ve also done nearly photo realistic wildlife paintings among other things over the years, and I’m selling wire wrapped jewelry I make, too. But Facebook is utterly unhelpful if you’re not paying them.
