This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Dying of dysentery is now more than just a video game meme in Oregon. In a disgusting turn of events straight out of the “Oregon Trail” game, the diarrhea-inducing malady dysentery is making a stomach-churning comeback in a densely populated region of the state. #News&Politics #News

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

"Given how prominently disinformation played in Virginia’s federal elections last year, election officials, voting rights advocates and grassroots pro-democracy organizers are bracing for another election rife with right-wing disinformation — and an avalanche of money spent to promote it."

We need to think outside the box. They don’t want the headlines (narrative) that people are pissed so just find new ways to make the media cover how pissed you are. They all have district offices. Hold them in absentia using life sized cut outs.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

My daughter's boyfriend is a federal worker overseeing big wildlife preservation projects. He's always had a federal credit card for incidental materials needed for the projects he is working on. That credit card had a $25,000 limit. He was recently notified that there is now a limit of $1. Fact.

70% of Missouri’s Medicaid budget comes from the federal government. This will be cut and it will be devastating. This is also at the same time that Missouri GOP leaders are trying to eliminate the income tax which supports 65% of the state’s budget. We are screwed.
