yes! congressional control of the purse applies to the white house as well. you can defund stephen miller.
See this is very sharp, but it's the kind of thing that should populate the budget bill. Any illegal impoundment should result in the immediate elimination of the presidential travel budget, for example.

It was never about “freedom.” It was always about who was in control.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

This is all he said.
“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr warned. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

If you're considering RSVPing to a demonstration to protest the regime that is currently asserting it's about to crack down on "leftist groups" I encourage you to just not fucking do that. Go to the protest, yes. Put your name on a list, absolutely the fuck not.
I've looked at Indivisible's privacy policy. It is...not the most user-protective I have seen. (For starters, they can "share" your data with other groups.)
If you are considering RSVPing, I strongly encourage you to read it and make sure you know what you're signing up for.

It's always good to be cautious about providing personal data, both off- and online.
When someone asks you for personal data - eg, by signing up for an event - it's always a good idea to ask yourself, at a minimum, "why do these folks need my data, and what are they going to do with it."

Even if you aren’t masking anywhere else it still makes sense to wear a mask in medical settings & pharmacies because there’s a greater chance of being close to someone contagious & there are more people who are at higher risk in these places. Masking in these settings both protects you & others.
I really think there should be a continued public health push to have people wear a mask in pharmacies and medical settings since that is where sick people and people who are higher risk can be found frequently. It has never made any public health sense to loosen those precautions.
