If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Seems legit....

We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Measles outbreak in Texas rises to at least 58 cases β€” the state's worst in over 30 years A measles outbreak in Texas​ has led to 58 confirmed cases, making it the state's worst in over 30 years β€” and local health officials say additional cases​ are likely to occur.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.

Hypocrite! Republicans of today have no sense of decency... no shame.

When those are gone, the society does not have a basic tool to "force" people in power to change their ways. Without "shame" public opinion is toothless.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

There’s much talk about cuts to Medicare & Medicaid. As a hospice nurse, my heart brakes for pts who depend on them for healthcare. But now, as the daughter of a man diagnosed with his 4th cancer, I’m enraged. If my dad is denied even 1 treatment, I will hold each person who voted red accountable.

In the beginning, God created Man.
However, contrary to the common telling, God did not say, "Man, thou must have a mate."
God said, "Oh, shit, what did I just do?"
So, God created a better model and said unto his initial creation, "Behold, I have created People 2.0, with fewer bugs and glitches. I give you Woman."
And Man was pissed.

Trigger warning!

I was drugged and raped in my home by an acquaintance. I drove myself to the ER at 9pm the following day, after debating for hours. I walked up to the desk, said my name, and told the nurse that I needed a rape kit. I had my sheets, the clothes I had been wearing, and other potential evidence in a paper bag. The woman asked me if l'd prefer she register me as a Jane Doe, "for privacy". I said absolutely not. I was still under my father's health insurance policy, with, guess who? Ding ding, UHC.

It took 7 hours before I was discharged. I was alone. I was already so traumatized, that those 7 hours don't feel particularly traumatic in comparison, but I assure you- it was every bit as bad as it looks on SVU. That's not the point.
The point, is that two weeks later I received a bill in the mail. Paraphrased, it read:

"SEXUAL ASSUALT EXAM- $1200.
INSURANCE COVERAGE- DENIED.
AMOUNT DUE- $1200"

And then another, in two more weeks. And then another. And then they added red font.

I’m sorry to hear that Healthcare Insurance CEO’s are feeling scared for their lives and are needing to hire full time security.

I wish every parent didn’t have to wonder if their kid will come home from school today.

I wonder if you can tell where my sympathy lies?
