It is February 28 tomorrow.

This means a total and complete economic blackout.

This means buying nothing.

AT ALL

Not even your coffee!

USAID Fraud Allegations: Fact vs. Fiction

Fact
Inspector Generalโ€™s Investigations:
- USAIDโ€™s Office of Inspector General (OIG) actively investigates allegations of major fraud, corruption, and misconduct within its programs and operations, demonstrating accountability in addressing internal issues.

Did all that in a pair of boot cut jeans. Diabolical.

The Department of Education is one of the most important institutions in our country. Its elimination will turn us back decades, with the goal of whitewashing history, normalizing slavery, J6 & erasing Pride, Juneteenth and MLK as national holidays.

Itโ€™s gross negligence.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government.
This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and itโ€™s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They arenโ€™t firing for a reason.

Anyone else feel like we are living in a literal nightmare right now?

The only escape is sleeping and analog activities.

So letโ€™s see, Trump has been President for a week and now we are fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Colombia, and pretty much the entire EU.

It does seem that Viktor Orban and Netanyahu now likes us more though, so thereโ€™s that.

Donald Trump โ€˜savingโ€™ TikTok is the equivalent of an arsonist taking credit for putting out the fire they started.

Sending much love to Chicago Teachers. Next few weeks, especially.

I hope families have emergency plans in place.

I hope they have access to resources.

I hope the district stands up against this ๐Ÿคก
