My name is Jonathan Treble. I'm a father, business owner, and the Democrat ready to flip Arizona's 1st and bring back real leadership to our district.

I can't do it alone. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help me take back this seat and take back the House majority?

The bravery of this man is admirable. The cowardice of congress is appalling!

His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush.

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.

That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

When Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE in November, he described the work as “tedious” and noted that “compensation is zero.” But WIRED has learned that some DOGE staffers are drawing six-figure salaries from the agencies they’re dismantling.

This is what scares me the most. We can’t keep our eye off the ball when it comes to protecting free and fair elections. As a society, we have the potential to recover from this onslaught, as long as we live in a country where we can hold our government accountable with the power of the ballot.
