USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion annually in rice, wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.

We are pleased to see Judge Engelmayer has issued a temporary restraining order blocking DOGE employees from granting or gaining access to Treasury Department records AND to immediately destroy any and all sensitive material already downloaded.

A Google doc that helps to track the Trump administration executive orders and how they're playing out in court.

Here's a Google Doc to bookmark that tracks all Trump executive actions, grouped by agenda and implications, for easy reference.

Sign me up for that island. Sounds dreamy. 😍

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

One of my friends has posted a couple photos on FB but I’ve not seen a thing from our local CBS, NBC or Fox News affiliates.

Today’s front page of the largest newspaper in Quebec, Canada and they nailed it 🤣🎯

Dear DNC, DSCC, and DCCC:

I don't want to see another fundraising text or email asking for a dollar of mine until I see an actual plan to meet this moment.

Y'all had 11 weeks between the election and inauguration, and there's still no plan. There's no excuse for that.

No plan, no donation.

🇨🇦 Canada has taken the decision to label products in supermarkets. It clearly says “Made in Canada” and “Made in the USA”.

Canadians have shown solidarity and only buy what is made in their country.

All countries that are subject to taxation should do the same.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

💥 New Zealand knows what’s up!!

Standing ovation for the Bikini Kill tote bag.

I just bought a membership and went to my local Costco today to get my official membership card. The young man helping me asked what my reason was for buying a membership and I said “because Costco isn’t rolling back DEI initiatives.” He went on to say that most new members had the same answer.

OK, you can't have it both ways, Donald.

You can't stupidly brag about how you ended DEI to bring back safety at the FAA and then stupidly blame DEI the first time there is a crash on your watch.

It was the Biden administration that took down repro rights dot com. They archived it so the info couldn’t be messed with.

The next four years are going to be tough and there are many who may feel stuck. So I made this little guide of ways that people can get more involved in changing the world for the better!

Not sure, exactly, what I can do in response to this list but I want to know wtf he’s up to.

Presidential Actions – The White House

Like you, I’m struggling with the happenings of the last 24ish hours. Specially, wondering what the orange menace is doing (rescinding executive orders, withdrawing from the World Health Org, etc.) since back in office. Here’s a site to visit to see all the things: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Wish You Were Here

Trump & Vance released their inaugural photos and the internet has thoughts.

Fantastic breweries motivate me to join their “mug” club, even though I live three hours away!

Cool stickers motivate me to practice more yoga.
