As
My brilliant husband just noted, there is now a tariff on Canadian lumber so Trump has to get trees from somewhere. Weyerhaeuser stock is the only one that went up this morning when everything else went down.

I think Dems should pack the chamber with as many invited fired federal workers as can fit.

Show you are strong and united. Do not be weak! Americans are worried no one has their back in Congress. Please show them you are tough - we need that visible display! We also need you to be doing all you can be doing every day. We are!

I am so very sorry for you and your colleagues. NSF does such important work, and losing people like you is a travesty.

Bluesky needs something other than a heart button to respond to news posts about the Trump/Musk presidency and the current state of our country!

I wish Bluesky provided a “shocked” emoji or something as it feels odd to say I love what I am reading even though the reporting is incredible. What is happening all over now since Trump took office is so horrific.

Was in Laredo for a few days and police/military present every 1/4 mile on highway. Felt like a police state and overkill. Same along the Rio Grande. Agents appeared bored. Meanwhile, miles of trucks cross the border, many filled with car assemblies made in Mexico for the American market.

Dems can’t always play nice especially when the situation is as dire as it is now. Go fight for our country.

Absolutely insane and a travesty! NIH is the largest research facility of its kind in the WORLD and Trump is trying to lock the doors! Good God!
