25:05:30 "There is no left or right. There is only right and wrong. This is a moral moment" - Sen. Cory Booker April 1, 2025

I took a break from posting and looking at social media. But then they met with Zelensky and embarrassed our country. The only good thing to come of it,is it appears that Europe is rallying behind Ukraine more than ever. Hopefully, Ukraine can ride that wave into some semblance of peace. Hopefully.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

I'm exhausted and overwhelmed which is what they want. It's just so much insanity all at once. I'm donating. I'm calling. I'm doing what little I can. Something's gotta give soon, right? It's only been a month!

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office. Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

The National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

Caroline tends to be fairly private. This is important and ballsy AF.

WHO DID THIS!

And people said we were overreacting.

To understand how an attack on birthright citizenship will be carried out, let alone prevail, it’s important to know what stands in the way of it. @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social reports on the playbook, decades in the making.

This is exactly what I needed to read right now.

The world needs more people like her. People who are willing to speak up when they can. People with courage and heart.

All just a bunch of bullshit and bluster right now. A lot of "look at this hand while I fuck you over with the other hand". I'm going to take a breath for a couple of day or so. Gather myself. See what's what, and then get back to the fight. This sucks, man.

It's only day one.

When they show you who they are, believe them.

I can't find any pictures of Trump with his hand on the bible while taking his oath. Is that like crossing your fingers behind your back?

I truly hope this bit of hope is correct. We need whatever hope we can get right now.

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.
