My mom used to use that phrase and I haven’t heard anyone else use it in years. She grew up on a farm. Anyhow, it is appropriate to describe the Congress.

This Catholic did not love it. I found it insulting and insensitive.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.

They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

In honor of #MarchMadness, let's talk about how all 8 men's teams playing in Providence this week are threatened by the Musk/Trump Admin.

If you love college sports, you're going to have to stand up for colleges!!!!

Only if you are geographically challenged. Otherwise the spokesman sounds stupid.

I’m really hoping hell hath no fury like old people scorned, if they do cut social Security.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Can MAGA please tell me how bringing fucking POLIO back makes America great???

As well as she supposedly knows 47, one would hope she knew he doesn’t like surprises. Perhaps she FAFO.

Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades.

With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.

Kansas senator's rural town hall meeting swamped by people mad at Trump administration Republican Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall ended a rural town hall meeting early after people angry about budget cuts, funding freezes and other actions by President Trump shouted the senator down.

Add it to the list www.kcur.org/2025-03-01/k...

And this was in friendly territory, Oakley in western Kansas. He was late and left early.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Please fold this into stories about Trump’s little performance yesterday.

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

I hope my congressman is a good person but when asked in conservative Colby Kansas if there was anything Trump would do that he would not support, he could not think of one thing far although he professed that there was. The Burke quote about silent good people in action.

Considering how she could have described him , her word choice was kind.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Maybe he has Trump’s tax returns in addition to the rest of us.

The DOL Office of the Inspector General (“DOL OIG”) does critical work related to unemployment insurance fraud. To take just one example, during the pandemic, federal and state governments distributed over $888 billion in unemployment benefits to support Americans in crisis. However, my office uncovered that an estimated $191 billion in pandemic unemployment benefits may have been improperly paid—with a substantial portion of that money attributable to fraud.

5. A week before my purported termination at DOL IG, the Wall Street Journal ran an article commending my team and me on the great work we were combatting unemployment insurance fraud. It also mentioned the need to extend the statute of limitations. The article highlighted a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, estimating that $135 billion in funds had been stolen from the unemployment insurance program in a two-year span. Time is Running Out to Recover Up to $135 Billion in Pilfered Jobless Benefits, Wall St. J. (Jan. 16, 2025).

Fired Department of Labor IG Larry Turner found $191B in improper COVID unemployment payments, much of it fraud, and was hunting down $135B more when he was fired.

Could someone out there write a definitive guide on convenient alternatives to using Amazon.com for goods and books and whatnot?

Asking for some folks who don’t want to see democracy die in darkness.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

🥲

Trump wants to “preserve” democracy the way a taxidermist wants to “preserve” a trophy bass.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

TB outbreak in Kansas. RFKjr is the man to protect public health…. God help us. No one is coming to save us.

Does 47 have something on every Republican senator that they ignore obviously unqualified nominees? Public health is in trouble. Jerry and Roger must not know we have a TB outbreak back home in Kansas. Bewildered by the Senate’s indifference for our future.

With Trump and Musk driving U.S. policy, Kansas farmers have been played for suckers • Kansas Reflector The hard truth is that, like most of the folks who voted for Trump, farmers failed to do their homework about the hard realities.
