Newsletter, day 19:

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

This is how it’s done.

Here is a nice mushroom

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

I’m just so happy that Canada once again beat the Russians at hockey tonight.

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Just received an email from the Social Security Administration (purportedly) telling me about National Slam the Scam Day on March 6, 2025, and encouraging me to report any scams that I know about. Um . . . SSA . . . I’d like to report a BIG scam taking place right now . . .

Dear @eve6.bsky.social et al...

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.

He should be our messenger.

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

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.

Trump’s about to fire a bunch of generals if you were wondering about why he’s trying to distract us. Project 2025 is happening. What are you doing to stop it?

Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
