"The sofa beds have been installed so the team can work around the clock, the employee said." This is a coup, happening right in front of us, staged by people who know nothing at all about the US government. Which is, it bears remembering, the only one we have. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.

Trump’s team claimed that their tax cuts would boost household income by $4,000. But research shows that the lowest paid workers saw no change in earnings. Meanwhile, exec salaries increased sharply. Trump and Republicans want to double down on yet another trickle-down scam.
