Pardon me, but we need legislation AND obstruction at every level.

Thank you!

Going back to Montevideo, Uruguay! Same city, new job!

And she’s off! Again! And Dobby is NOT pleased! 😂

Exactly the right questions.

Elon Musk has proposed that the Trump Administration shut down U.S.A.I.D., a move that would have a calamitous impact around the globe—and threaten our national security, Atul Gawande writes.

“People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True.

NEW: Organizations that provide vital, lifesaving care for desperate and vulnerable people around the world have been forced to halt operations, turn away patients and lay off staff.

“I’ve never seen anything that scares me as much as this,” one doctor said.

Trump fires any FBI agents who merely worked on Jan 6th cases. Whether it had anything to do with him or not.

My guess is that the FBI has a massive database of terrorist White Supremacist groups who they have deemed a danger to society.

But who Trump wants to use as a personal army.

Firing anybody who deems these groups dangerous, immediately liberates & emboldens them.

Per The Atlantic:

Trump Officials Fire Jan. 6 Prosecutors and Plan Possible F.B.I. Purge The prosecutor firings and a move to scrutinize thousands of F.B.I. agents were a powerful indication that the president has few qualms deploying federal law enforcement to punish perceived enemies.

Trump administration now compiling a list of FBI agents who investigated violent felons who assaulted police officers?

Share this to stop the mass purge of people who were simply doing their jobs.

Illegal. Immoral. We are better than this

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is not good governance. This is a takeover.

Wow.

‎5 Calls: Contact Your Congress ‎**As seen on MSNBC...**

So I am back to using my 5. Calls app every morning. Sigh. But am grateful for all the legwork they’ve done to make it easy to call. itunes.apple.com/us/app/myapp...

31% of eligible voters went for Harris, 32% went for Trump, and 37% did not vote at all. Take note, Republicans, that is NOT a mandate. Those of you who sat on your hands last time, PLEASE don’t make that mistake at the next midterms. This administration is a disaster.

"Was it appropriate for a Christian bishop to speak about the teachings of Christ in a Christian church?" asked an outraged mob of people who claim to be Christians.

Of all the ridiculous distractions… what a bunch of toddlers we have in charge now.

Trump Fires at Least 12 Inspectors General in Late-Night Purge The internal government watchdogs were believed to have been dismissed at several major agencies, though the Justice Department’s was not said to have been among them.

This is what you do when you don’t want someone watching what you’re doing…

Dobby is about as interested as going out in this weather as I am!

Sub-zero temps, but lovely sunshine. Took a media break, which was so nice I think I’ll extend it for another 1461 days.
