I travel, garden, sing terribly, and read as much as I can. I’m generally curious and love learning about history.

This x10000000000 “In other words: We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Appearing today in The Week:

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Allegory alert!

What an international embarrassment our government of frauds and grifters is.

Getting ready for the victory parade in Philly tomorrow, and I swear to Saquon if I see John Fetterman… youtube.com/shorts/11vqC...

Good advice ⬇️

Monday thought:

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

All these Tech Bros grew up loving Luke Skywalker and then became Darth Vader for the money. Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side. #RebelAllianceForever

Dems need to flood the media zone. The only hope is making everyone aware of the problem. Y’all are way too calm and nice still. #damntheflood

Sen Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) letter to chair of Senate Judiciary Cmte, which is poised to vote on confirmation of Kash Patel: “We regret that you have rejected our efforts to inquire into the first-ever invocation of Fifth Amendment protection by a nominee seeking to lead the FBI”

We can only hope more people are like U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour. They will probably be pressured and threatened with harm to comply given the MO of the mob in power.

What I find interesting is that #musk probably doesn’t even pay taxes but wants to control how it’s spent.
