Or semi fired. Anyone want to take a stab at what that means?

When you get a president who never paid attention in history class, he assumes there's no difference between the real world and a game of Risk.

Opinion | Trump’s freeze on foreign aid will hurt America An expression of soft power, it provides more bang for the buck than almost any other budget item.

"Foreign assistance is one of the more misunderstood items in the federal budget," the Editorial Board writes.

"It creates an enormous bang for a relatively small buck." wapo.st/3PZU3Ta

Trump: [unleashes illegal U.S. government takeover by Russian-influenced oligarch who promptly seizes Treasury data; threatens war with Canada and Panama on the same day]

Senator: "I wrote about how we're fighting back in my latest newsletter. Check it out and subscribe so you don't miss a beat."

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire.

This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy.

It’s time to speak out and fight back.

In other news, I loved the ntsb guys who just gave a press conference with updates. And I really hope they keep their jobs...

And if he doesn't fire the competent career ntsb admin and replace them with loyalists who will find what he wants found. Yep.

Sure sounds like it. But maybe they saw the wrong plane and there's another procedure control should have done to alert them there were several? They were at the wrong altitude and should control have noticed and done something about that? Seems like the commercial pilot was faultless

So, if the investigation of the Potomac crash turns up anything suggesting that recent cuts to aviation safety since January 20th were in any way related to the incident, we're never going to see that. We'll see the version with that info redacted and "it was DEI" added in sharpie at the end

Did anyone notice the insulin cap went away?
Trump bragged on the trail about capping the insulin price at $35/month for seniors.
He didn't. That was a Biden accomplishment. So trump undid it.
Just so you know.

Tariffs against Columbia will raise coffee prices drastically across the board. Mark what the price is now. It's going to go up as a direct result of an idiotic policy choice by the new administration. Tell him you don't like it. Loudly.

Goes with the theme. "I'm convicted of 34 felonies."
"Are you repentant and reformed?"
"No"
"You're hired"

GOP Jesus 🤣

Yes. I'm certain all of his flaws will vanish and he'll be the perfect candidate

But he promised to quit drinking

Good news /s/. It wasn't ice. It was just the secret service coming to grill an 11yo for posting a mean video about the thin-skinned loser in chief

I guess the good news is that hegseth pinkie swears that he'll stop drinking...

POW/MIA flag? That goes under the us flag a lot, too...

I missed this one. What about state flags?

PSA: you can replace egg in most recipes with flax seed.

1 tbs flax seed
3 tbs of water
Stir together and let set for 5 minutes to get gelly before you mix it in.

~$5=~70tbs

Save the eggs for omelets. Bake with flax.

You know, until egg prices drop drastically soon.

This is a printable card that tells you your rights

FUCK ICE

I haven't yet. But I figure a nice note of encouragement goes a long way, too.

Mr. Trump’s executive order indicates that in 30 days, all federal agencies will be required to confirm the immigration status of the parents before issuing documents like a passport.

If you are a visa holder/temp resident in the U.S., and your child was born here and doesn't have a passport, GET A PASSPORT FOR THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, make the appointment this week.

Give

If anyone wanted to give money to Bishop Budde's diocese, here's the link.

You expect this from all kinds of randos online but the fact that a sitting US congress person is saying it should trouble all of constituents and colleagues.

He hurt his feelings that the last one happened in his watch and he still thinks not testing means it you won't find anything so it won't exist

WHAT CONTEXT WOULD HAVE BEEN OK???

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.

Surely he wouldn't just make something up

Note: The person giving the sermon in question is Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington.

Rep. Collins is suggesting deporting a U.S. citizen and bishop for delivering a sermon in a house of worship in accordance with her faith.
