We had a staff meeting this morning where I brought this point up. Anyone who saw armed troops in New Orleans post-Katrina knows how that affects the people living there. I still remember what it felt like seeing troops with M-16s on the streets of what I thought of as my city.

To our members of Congress:

You may want to define what constitutes an emergency.

You've allowed the King Yam Tits to ruin our economic recovery based on an "emergency."

Now we will have armed troops on the streets of our capital in response to an "emergency."

Grow a pair. Take your power back.

You say that like our overlord would care. He doesn't see anyone who would be affected on the patio at Mar-a-Lago. Or in the Rose Garden.

Dozens of FEMA staffers involuntarily reassigned to support deportations DHS said the moves wonโ€™t hinder disaster readiness, but current and former FEMA officials said losing that many people will hurt an already much reduced agency.

Federal workers who signed up to help people are forced to harm people. Cruelty abounds.

This isnโ€™t about accuracy. Itโ€™s about erasure.

The census isnโ€™t just about political representation. It decides who gets funded and who gets ignored.

This move will starve communities of color of federal money for healthcare, education, disaster relief, and emergency response.

Hereโ€™s an ideaโ€ฆ what if Gov. Hot Wheels used this sort of authority to fight the corruption in his AGโ€™s office? Then maybe he wouldnโ€™t have to gerrymander Austin to hell and back to get the votes his party needs.

Redistricting fight in Louisiana city continues five years after census After the 2020 census, the Abbeville City Council decided not to redistrict despite population shifts creating disparities in the cityโ€™s voting district map.

The gaslighting has seeped down to the local level. I wrote about a small city in Louisiana which refused to redraw its city council districts because they refused to accept the census data showing the population had shifted.

We sued. The judge agreed. But the council is still resisting change.

A sign of why the Washington Post has fallen: A story about the leader of our nation censoring museum exhibits to whitewash his wrongs ends up in the arts section instead of on the front page as part of a deeper dive into what else the malignant narcissist is hiding.

Jobs numbers are bad, so King Yam Tits fires the messenger.

Ghislaine is willing to lie to cover his ample fat ass, so *poof* she ain't a sex offender no more.

I had lots of friends, some I have known since childhood, who defended this fascist crap. Where are you now? Suddenly it's really quiet...

TRADE WINS? Where?

I put a new washer/dryer in my cart at a big box store Wednesday night. When I tried to make the purchase Thursday morning, the price had gone UP $150.

Mark my words, prices will slam the common people to the ground as these tariffs kick in.

WE PAY THE TARIFFS, YOU MORONS!

McMahon hopes Columbia deal becomes โ€˜templateโ€™ for other colleges Columbia University has agreed to pay more than $220 million, ending a monthslong standoff with the Trump administration.

We are officially an oligarchy. Instead of litigating and legislating, we are extorting funds from universities.
