Has anyone seen Lazuli Buntings this year. I usually see them in Oregon about the middle of March. None this year.

Did they send you a new passport with F?

Thank you

Thank you for all you are doing in Washington to fight for us. It is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for continually fighting for us. You rock!

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

The Trump administration has cut funding for community-based navigators who help people sign up for the ACA from $98 million to $10 million.

The first Trump administration also cut navigators, with funding restored by the Biden administration.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

So what has the Trump/Musk push on USAID achieved so far? I reached out to contacts, and here's the state of play: Children dying. Hospitals closing. Ebola at risk of spreading. US food aid rotting. Moms at risk in childbirth. China gaining soft power. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/o...

Opinion | The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children (Gift Article) I’ve seen U.S.A.I.D. operate around the world, and it’s not woke — it’s lifesaving.

Yes, USAID could use reform, but this is demolition. Trump braids together cruelty, ignorance and shortsightedness, and calls it policy, as the world's richest men go after the worlds poorest children. My column: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

“Trump scoffed that U.S.A.I.D. was ‘run by radical lunatics.’ Is it radical lunacy to try to save children’s lives? To promote literacy for girls? To fight blindness?”
