If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

Let me ask again: where are presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton. Where are the Fortune 500 CEOs? The university presidents. Is all this “leadership” stuff they tout just words? I don’t want to think so but the question must be asked.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Elon Musk is NOT a legitimate government official -- he was not approved by Congress, and he has ZERO legal authority. He cannot shut down agencies. He cannot access Social Security numbers and payment info for millions of Americans. Take him to court and SHUT HIM DOWN.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Great news. A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now. Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge. First win in court, as the case continues.
