The bad news is your truck is held together by glue. The other bad news is that they're going to "fix" it with more glue.

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

Important post underscoring the significance of Trump's attack on the Perkins Coie law firm. It's not about a single firm, Trump's action provides "a blueprint for using government power to silence any effective opposition to authoritarianism."

Who will work the fields after all the migrants are deported? Just anyone taking any kind of legal or illegal psychiatric/long term pain medication. For 3 to 4 years. With no cell phones or screens of any kind. So ... regular people sent to work camps. Nothing gulag about that!

Does your child have an IEP or 504 Plan? If not, you probably know a child who does. Their education rights are under attack. It's not too late to do something!

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Composure, Saints! This is a vital witness to our faith in Christ in any era of chaos. Upon waking, let us meet with Jesus and trade our fear & anger for his courage & compassion. Rely on God. Read Scripture. Be brave. Pray valiantly. Act like grownups. Help the hurting. Love defiantly.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant no matter what the ICE officer says.

There is something so sweet about the human capacity for enthusiasm. For a few days everyone in LA has been glued to Watch Duty and getting in the weeds of how water drops work. Now there are people out here who honestly have a favorite water plane that they are following closely and rooting for.

Please PLEASE go comment in favor of this rule. The subminimum wage for disabled folks is vile and evil and must be eliminated. The poverty rate of disabled folks is astronomical compared to abled folks. There is no doubt this disgusting discriminatory policy is part of the reason why.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

A really strange take from Mohler ... as if God himself is not the Father who pardons his repentant children "again and again and again." I thought we could at least agree that imitating God is never a "problem" or a "failure."

I know so many people in CA who didn't vote because "It doesn't matter, Biden is going to win CA anyway." Democracy requires informed participation. The Electoral College is a major vote suppressor and a detriment to Democracy. It must go!
