We are preparing imminent legal action to protect against President Trump’s unprecedented and blatantly lawless sweeping stop to federal funding.

Nope - just steel wool, elbow grease, and frustration!

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

This should’ve been investigated before January 6. 🤯

I always wanted to do this (but it’s been low on my priority list to figure out). Kudos to whoever did!

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this shit is your fault.

Took out my frustrations on my over-a-decade-old stainless steel pans. (They’ve never been this shiny! Well. Except the day I got them.)

No one in this house has set foot outside in over a week because of this illness. (It’s not Covid - we’ve all tested multiple times - and I STILL haven’t caught it.) and as of last night, the original carrier has caught it again. So yay to another week or so of being the only healthy person here!

My immediate assumption about anyone who complains about DEI or similar is that they actually can’t compete on a level playing field

Trump reverses Biden actions intended to protect abortion access The president reinstated a policy blocking U.S. aid to foreign organizations that use funds for abortion. He also overturned two Biden executive orders, contending they violated the law barring federa...

Democrats could have repealed the Hyde Amendment when they had a trifecta, but didn’t, because conservative Dems wanted to use the reproductive freedom of poor women as a bargaining chip in back room deals with Republicans.

Now Trump is weaponizing it.

Halfway through one of the Expanse books. (I forget which one, though - just been reading them back-to-back - they are really good!) Holden is in Laconia as a “Dancing Bear” right now. And I feel like an idiot because it took me halfway through the book to figure out who the man in the cave is.

So the family went apple picking last fall, and for funsies, I kept the seeds, wrapped in a wet paper towel, in the fridge. I checked them today and ALL of them have sprouted. I figured one or two would, but All of them did. Now I have to figure out where to plant them!

Someday this house will not ring with the sounds of hacking, coughing, and sniffling … but that day is not today.

(Still haven’t caught it yet, but MAN am I tired.
I’m the only one in the house well enough to do anything.)

Federal Government Bans DEIA—Requires Employees to Snitch On Each Other Sharing a confidential memo sent to me by multiple Federal Employees, one that demonstrates how heavily this White House is leaning into fascism

In 1933, Nazis issued a decree that required Germans to snitch on anyone who spoke against the party, its leaders, or the Govt.

In 2025, MAGAs force federal employees to snitch on anyone who does "DEI in disguise," or suffer "adverse consequences."

Insurers Failed to Comply With Mental Health Coverage Law, Department of Labor Report Finds The probe found widespread noncompliance and violations of federal law in how health plans and insurers cover mental health care, echoing the findings of a recent ProPublica investigation.

Health insurance companies do not provide mental healthcare. They make money by denying access to it.

Record health insurance industry profits are *because* insurance companies broke the law and failed to cover mental health treatments, not in spite of.

You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

teensy tiny correction: the government does not have to provide you an attorney for immigration court, so you should make arrangements with one now. Just someone you can call if you get yoked up by ICE.

If you ask for one, they will not and do not have to provide you one.
