Reagan gutted the federal bureaucracy in the early 1980s and, an half century later, our nation’s capacity to function never recovered. That, not some imaginary red tape, is why NEPA never works for expediting projects. What’s happening now is much worse and will last much longer.

That’s because, like Trump, he likes to not pay his contractors. Just ask the numerous Texas companies he has failed to pay.

I’m feeling snackish & was all excited because I have blackberries and blueberries, so I was gonna fix myself a little yogurt parfait. Went to the fridge, got the tub of yogurt out and… it had gone bad. 😭 Now I’m still hungry.

Not having $2 to buy a ticket to a “dance” that was happening in the gym during normal school hours (y’know, when all the teachers are supposed to be there). So I got sent to in school suspension.

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

You cannot say this would intersect every major sector of commerce when it completely avoids Texas, which has the Port of Houston, DFW, and all the land ports of entry along the Rio Grande that are the sites of literal billions in produce & farm ag, tech & auto manufacturing import/exports.

Every safety regulation was written in blood, frequently with a body count higher than one, and it’s not political to put the blame on people who want to “move fast and break things” when they start breaking human lives.

It’s also not “reign in,” it’s “rein in.” As in reining in a horse. Pulling up on a horse’s reins to get it to slow down or stop.

Haven’t seen this mentioned once on Twitter yet. And that’s because my feed is still primarily news based and not entirely taken over by blue check drivel.

Wait til i tell you about the water war that is pitting Mexico against the US & even against other Mexicans. In this case, the US can produce certain crops, but part of Mexico is keeping that water for itself, to the detriment of their fellow countrymen & American farmers. It’s wild.

Fun fact, Australia hasn't had birthright citizenship since 1986. You can guess all the fun stuff that has happened to people like being deported back to countries they have never even known.

He totally kept all those people waiting so that his speech would happen riiiiiight when the national evening news programs would be airing. So his speech would preempt them & we’d get no national news coverage. Just him.

My Democratic lawmaker has already issued a press release scolding Biden for preemptively pardoning Fauci et al, but not convicts from our district. Lawmaker also used the term “liberal advisers” derogatorily. So ask me how this admin is going so far. It’s only Day Fucking 1.

I've watched Administrations go from DEM to GOP & back & forth. Even during worst of times in our country we didn't see career employees resign en masse. Especially not from being told to do so. This is what authoritarian regimes do. Brain power & experience loss will be devastating for decades.
