NY Times 7/1/2025:
Republican Bill Puts Nation on New, More Perilous Fiscal Path

Among the most expensive pieces of legislation in years, the Republican legislation could reshape the country’s finances for a generation.

Across the more than 400 federal agencies that regulate almost every aspect of American life, from flying in airplanes to processing poultry, DT's appointees are working with DOGE to launch a sweeping new phase in their quest to dismantle much of the federal government: deregulation on a mass scale.

"contamination and pull risky products from sale. At the start of April, thousands of federal health workers were fired on the orders of HHS Secy. RFK Jr.; a plan called for terminating 3,500 employees at the FDA — a move that he welcomed as a “revolution.”"

"The agency also expanded the ability of some meat processors to speed up production lines, making it more difficult to carry out careful inspections.

"The administration also delayed a rule that would have required both manufacturers and grocery companies to quickly investigate food...

"Since [the] inauguration, his administration has been chipping away... at food safety programs. In March, two Dept. of Ag advisory committees that had provided guidance on fighting microbial contamination of food as well as meat inspection protocols were shut down.

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

Opinion | There’s a Name for What Trump Is Doing to Trans People: Denationalizing (Gift Article) The message is that we are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation.

"...Long before Jews, Roma, gays, Communists and others could be herded into death camps, they had to be “denationalized” — excluded from the society that guaranteed their legal rights."

NY Times today:
The vice president’s speech last week at the Munich Security Conference... combined with his meeting with the leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, party, has caused a scandal because it is a scandal, a monument of arrogance based on a foundation of hypocrisy.

I’m running for president in 2028 on renaming the Gulf of America to the Gulf of Free Healthcare.

I'd like to propose that the 1% worst billionaires be reviewed annually and fires!

PSA: They’re killing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it protects you from them.

Let's be comprehensive with our signage.
Think of it as a Save Us All rally:
* Save America/Social Security/Medicare/Jobs/the Earth/Democracy/Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
* No One Is Above the Law

Please tell everyone!
NB: the West side of downtown will be crowded due to the Book Fair.

Savannahians: RESISTANCE MARCH tomorrow (Sat., Feb. 8), 3 pm, Forsyth Fountain to Bay St.
Let's turn out in sufficient numbers to show up as a formidable force.
It's been advertised as a 14th Amendment rally, but that is way too limited. There are plenty of Amendments under attack!

Raffensperger Asks Federal Government for Help Suppressing Voters Read more.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Elon Musk spent over $280 million to elect Trump and his GOP allies. Now Musk is collecting on that investment—grabbing control of the system that gets your grandpa his Social Security check, pays your mom’s doctor through Medicare, and keeps your kid’s Head Start center open.

Thou Shalt Impeach the Motherfucker It's time.

Can I get an amen?

Below the image, there is a graphic labeled 'JELLYFISH' with the text 'THE NEW LOGO OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'. The graphic features an illustration of a jellyfish with a blue head and red tentacles, adorned with three white stars. Below the illustration, the words 'SPINELESS', 'BRAINLESS', and 'HEARTLESS' are listed.

And comes with a painful sting!

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

In answer to your question: 1) fear; 2) disinformation (lies); 3) cult of personality; 4) widespread lack of morality and ethics due to #1.

DOGE isn't even an authorized agency yet.

Who else thinks we really need an upside-down American flag emoji right now?

This !!

If you don't think America is corrupt, Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who took a bribe, was sworn in as the US Attorney General by Clarence Thomas, a SCOTUS Justice who routinely takes bribes.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

Nah.

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You January 6 was nothing compared to the current mob of thugs intent on tearing apart our country’s very system of government.

This makes clear the situation we are now in. All Americans need to understand this.

And why should we even file our tax returns if the world's richest man has taken over the Treasury Dept.?
