"Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul."

Bob Dylan

CARTOON OF THE DAY

In Trump's first term, he was directly responsible for 25% OF ALL US DEBT acquired – going back to the beginning of the country. In the last 9.5 months, he's added another $4 Trillion to the national debt.

Scream this at every Republican who claims they're the party of fiscal responsibility.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

“Hell is empty

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

USAID Ordered to Shred or Burn Classified Documents in Alarming Move Staff at the U.S. Agency for International Development have received a troubling order on what to do with their classified documents.

“After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID,” Marco Rubio wrote on Monday. (trib.al/nBk143S)

Now, the staff has been directed to shred and burn classified documents—an illegal move under the Federal Records Act.

Disgraceful.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

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.

I worry for my grandchildren.

Connecticut officials confirm: The state's Head Start reimbursement system, which provides low-income families with federal money to support their children's education, is shut down. @MSNBC

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Diary of Anne Frank
January 13, 1943

This is so sad.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Everyone, take a moment to savor this day, our last national day of sanity for—well, who knows?

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Today I used algebra to solve a graphic design problem

Be careful out there kids, math will get you when you least expect it

UNFUN FACT: The is the first incoming Congress to have fewer woman than the one before it.

Please pass this along, thank you.

There are laws it’s moral to break and then there’s laws where it’s morally okay for stuff to happen to the people who pass them.
