DOGE’s $1 spending card limit touches everything from military research to trash pickup The crackdown on routine expenses is part of a campaign by the president and Elon Musk to reset the scope and mission of America’s sprawling bureaucracy.

Their job is to **identify American soldiers** killed in combat and Trump has told them to stand down and stop their work.

"Forensic genealogists who help identify U.S. soldiers killed in combat were told to pause their efforts..."

How did the newt cross the road? With the help of the Chileno Valley Newt Brigade! In northern California, a group of volunteers spend every night from late fall through winter as crossing guards–escorting migrating salamanders across a rural road.

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permissionβ€”they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.

We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

I'm trying to keep up with this; the party of pro-life has
1) ended cancer research
2) pulled us out of the WHO
3) Frozen communications and updates for the NIH and the CDC
4) raised prescription prices previously capped
5) out of Paris Climate Accords again
6) FDA and HHS gone Dark

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking β€œin unison β€œ ?

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Trumpsters often say, β€œPoliticians don’t keep it real or say what’s on their mind, but Trump does,” and that’s what they like about him.

MAGA, please meet Anders Vistisen of Denmark…

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.

Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.

FACTS ON IMMIGRANTS
β€’ No Link Between Immigration and Higher Crime Rates:
Extensive research consistently shows that immigration is not associated with an increase in crime.
β€’ Immigration Reduces Crime: Many studies indicate that higher levels of immigration are correlated with lower crime rates in communities.
β€’ Positive Community Impacts: The presence of immigrants often strengthens neighborhoods by enhancing social connections and fostering economic opportunities.
β€’ Increased Safety Through Structural Factors: Immigrant communities contribute to safer neighborhoods by improving factors linked to public safety, such as social cohesion and mutual support.
β€’ Breaking Stereotypes with Data: The evidence overwhelmingly counters the narrative that immigrants are prone to criminal activity, highlighting their positive contributions to society.

Mass deportation & the Laken Riley Act falsely target immigrants as criminals. Research from the FBI & Brennan Center proves U.S. citizens are far more likely to commit crimes, including violent ones. Immigrants strengthen communities & lower crime ratesβ€”don’t let fear fuel injustice.

The oligarchs cling to MLK’s β€œI Have a Dream” speechβ€”because dreams aren’t a threat.

They hide thisβ€”we will have to pay the bill while they keep TAKING and distracting us with HATE for each other so that we won’t notice.

They don’t want you to know about Martin Luther King’s β€œOne Penny” speech…
