So Amazon won't let me download my kindle books to my computer. Even though it's not hit the deadline yet. It keeps telling me I need to connect a device or the reader app. But I already have the app. Even if I click download the app, it tells me it's already there. I updated the app, no difference.

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Make it make sense! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Please don't let the reporting about the Pentagon purge focus solely on DEI/Joint Chiefs. Firing the service TJAGs - the top lawyers for Army, Navy, USAF/Space Force - is incredibly consequential. A little context🧵on why.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Over 1000 people showed up outside the HQ of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protest the Muskrat takeover of this vital agency! 1/2

The curious thing about billionaires defying the rule of law and the orders of the court, is that their wealth depends entirely on enforceable legal rights: contract, property, and so on. Those saying court orders have no value need to be careful what they wish for.

Litigants seeking to block DOGE's access to student loan / DOE data cited this exchange as supporting their case:

Wait … they … 𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 ???

Chiefs lose. #ETTD

Kendrick ended him lol

Clearly.

Too true!

The only reason JD Vance was so “enraged” by the judge’s ruling on #TheTwit and his access to the Treasury data is because they’re losing. Bigly! www.rawstory.com/liz-cheney-j...

NEW: Did Elon just create a secret IT contracting vehicle at OPM to avoid Congressional and public oversight? We need to get more eyes on this so please share my latest (always free): www.muellershewrote.com/p/did-elon-j...

Trump is governing by executive orders because he knows his policy is unpopular and he’d never get it through Congress. Fight back. He’s weaker than he’s trying to make you think.

‘Americans Can and Will Die from This’: USAID Worker Details Dangers, Chaos The sudden scapegoating of the once-bipartisan agency has left front-line workers in foreign countries stunned and abandoned, without even a contact in Washington.

WATCH: Senator @jeffyarbro.bsky.social reminds us Tennessee’s state budget is heavily reliant on the federal government Musk & Trump are (illegally) ransacking, and our state is already feeling the impact. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFydBOd...

Musk is the beneficiary of more than $3 billion in federal contracts across 17 government agencies. But he’s looking for cost cuts everywhere else: www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/u...

Really important! open.spotify.com/episode/2SIS...

This is so deeply, deeply, deeply fucked up. “The trial was shutting down. A silicone ring inserted into her vagina, needed to be removed right away. … The stop-work order was so immediate and sweeping that the research staff would be violating it if they helped the women remove the rings.”

ALL OF THIS!!!!!

Live footage of Musk and Trump cutting USAID. (See chapter 2 of “Sense and Sensibility” by Jane Austen) #USAID #SenseAndSensibilty #JaneAusten

UPDATE: Black women died at a rate nearly 3.5 times higher than white women at childbirth in 2023, and we can expect this to get much worse under Trump with RFK Jr running HHS. This is a brutal, systemic failure. Wake up, America!

Honestly, this is a crime against humanity. A despicable cruel evil crime against humanity.

It is clear that data critical to genealogy (and other disciplines) is being systematically stripped from federal websites. Census Bureau data IS being removed, and census data geeks at IPUMS verify and are taking whatever steps they can to preserve the data for the future. Scary times we live in.

“Trump scoffed that U.S.A.I.D. was ‘run by radical lunatics,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. “Is it radical lunacy to try to save children’s lives? To promote literacy for girls? To fight blindness?”

Help spot the pattern… ❌Banned clubs at West Point: Black, Asian, Hispanic, women, and Native American heritage clubs ✅Not banned at West Point Military Academy: German, French, and Polish clubs Can’t quite put my finger on it…

Documented in project 2025.

Stopping FARA is opening the door to massive corruption

Selective outrage of the right.

This is worth paying attention to.

Precisely

This is why, in 2025, I am asking all patriotic Americans to be Uncle Buck.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social it looks like your website has a security issue. When I Goggle you name. Click on the link from Google to go to your website, I instead get a scam message wanting me to agree to some terms of service. it's automatically redirecting me there if I use the Google link.

This is horrifying. The U.S. Atty suggesting he’s taking unadorned & unsupported “tips” like this for clearly non-criminal activity.

Lest one forgets, Donald Trump was president for four years, during which time USAID functioned effectively under the direction of Mark Green, a former Republican congressman who now serves as president of the Woodrow Wilson Center. Here is what Green and Pompeo said about USAID under Trump 1.0:

This is good
