"Lawmakers under 45 — Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s cohort — used to be much better represented in Congress. In 1981, when the median age was at its lowest since at least 1951, some 37 percent of House and Senate members were younger than 45. In the current Congress, it’s only 16 percent."
The Age Issue: More of Congress Is 70-Plus Than Ever Before (Gift Article)

BREAKING: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is firing 1,500 workers, and will soon have only about 200 remaining.
That means the CFPB will be largely unable to carry out its mission of overseeing financial institutions and regulating companies that scam consumers.

If you can't understand how dangerously misguided wasting finite resources on the ~attempt~ at "de-extinction" WHILE WE LIVE THROUGH A MASS EXTINCTION EVENT, then I don't know what else to say to you besides GO OUTSIDE AND LOOK AROUND.

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes.
They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured.
Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.

It's important that the pervasive feelings of UNSAFETY we are, and will be experiencing, do NOT make us cower and hide in fear.
Let that fear galvanize into determination, courage, resistance, and resilience.
Don't be afraid. We are in it together.
