VA Contingency Planning This site provides VA Contingency Planning information for employees impacted by government shutdowns and other unforeseen situations.

Guys, this is extremely important. Veterans should know that VA will not close because of the shutdown. We're funded on a two-year cycle specifically so that DC brinkmanship won't hurt our patients. Spread the word.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

This is what we thought about CBS and a LOT of very high powered law firms.

Please advise your kids and particularly teen boys whom the algorithms will direct content to, to stay off social media today.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

I have never seen a more COWARDLY CONGRESS in my life......Afghan translators risked their FRIGGIN LIVES for the US.....

Apparently you are not smart enough to be taught.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #Pinks #nokings #indivisible

Are you fucking kidding me?

I can’t put into words the upsurge of disgust I feel.

Sometimes stroke can change a person’s personality.

Not my job to do your research for you.

Look it up. Start with power of the purse. Maybe the separation of the powers. Co-equal branches of government. Ringing any bells yet? The info has been published, and the amendments to the Constitution are pretty clear.

Good try at the sealioning, though.

You can’t read? I’m sorry. I’m sure audible versions are available.

You are hilarious.

And you really need to read that Constitution for yourself.

The point is to keep him from assuming the powers of one,

@padilla.senate.gov: "Imagine what they are doing to a lot of folks who may not feel free to speak up... and there's not cameras there to capture how they may or may not be treated. That's the big takeaway. This should be a wake up call for everybody across the country."

BREAKING: Just reported on local news. The city of Lockhart, Texas has threatened to arrest any protesters displaying “No Kings” placards. This obviously is illegal and a violation of their First Amendment rights.

Welcome to Texas, where the rule of law is for me, not for thee. Disgusting.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

1/5 Watched @hcrichardson.bsky.social & Sen. Angus King today. Sen. King spoke of writing your Reps. & Sen. How important it is, it does make a difference. Then saw this. A lot of screen shots but a good idea. Stick to issues effecting you or those you know. Be Specific.

it looks like "going to the store and being reasonably sure your food won't kill you" is soon to be a Before Times thing

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...
