Can someone at #FedEx explain to me why this happens and why you don't give your customers a way to contact the shipping department? The business is open from 9am to 9pm EVERY DAY. There was no signature requirement, there is a box outside the door for quick delivery, and the door is unlocked.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Join me on May Day! We will be standing with labor unions and our migrant workers to demand fair treatment and due process for everyone. May 1 is International Workers' Day and we will not allow our friends, family, and neighbors to have their jobs and their rights stripped away from them!

Healthcare in America is too expensive! So why is the White House claiming we’ll get β€œHealthy Again” by cutting Medicaid for 83 million people? Why do they want us sick and dying? We can do better! #TruthBrigade

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in!

If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, β€œnothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

If you're full of anger and disbelief at what is happening in the US, I have a suggestion for you: run for office. There are so many to choose from: school board, town board, city council, county legislator, state assembly, state senate, sheriff, judge (at all levels), Congress, US Senate......

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate Minority Leader, has launched a new online portal for individuals to report corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety, with the legal protections afforded to whistleblowers.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Calling your Congress person is still one of the most effective ways to push for change. Make sure you are only calling YOUR Congress person, and I would recommend calling their district office, not their DC office. You'll have a higher chance of actually talking with a staffer.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
