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.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Her name was Jocelyn Rojo Carranza. She was 11 years old. She played the French horn, made TikTok videos, swam, did cartwheels, & watched Friday night movies with her family. I'm so sorry, baby girl. This is what happens when you normalize bullying and hatred. people.com/mom-says-dau...

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Medicare is under attack, too. Many seniors cannot physically travel easily. This new policy is cruel to inflict upon them and will increase burdens on doctors and nurses.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

@sanders.senate.gov: "You're looking at enormous power & wealth in the hands of a small number of people who could care less about working class people... They suffer from the addiction of greed. You got $50 billion? Ain't enough. We got to cut SS so I can get a tax break and maybe get $55 billion."

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
