1. JOYfully celebrated my kid’s birthday. 2. EnJOYed my job. 3. JOYously prepared meals. 4. OverJOYed about winter weather. 5. Didn’t let this administration take away one ounce of my JOY!

The week in review:

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

And it's going to get much worse!

Victory for the seasonal park workers! Keep up the pressure, folks. It’s working.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

You had it right the first time.

👏👏👏 @indivisible.org energy right there

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Dark Pence is back.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

That tracks.

Dear Canada, Don't sweat it. We're booing here, too. Sincerely, Decent Americans

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

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

The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration left her position after she refused a request by DOGE to access sensitive government records at the agency, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

Sign of the day…
