Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Somebody didn't pay attention to Schoolhouse Rock
Remember, the president does not have the authority to unilaterally shut down the Education Department. Doing so would require an act of Congress and at least 60 votes in the Senate.

Can’t have global warming if we shut off all the climate data
Can’t have a pandemic if we shut down all the public health monitoring systems
Can’t have a recession if we stop tracking economic indicators
A+ plan, nothing can possibly go wrong

Is it possible that the administration is terminating so many people so they can inflate job growth rates after they're done...when all these folks find new jobs or the government is forced to rehire them?

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024.
Despite recent claims, the program is still running and is now available to 30M people in 2025.
Any attempt to dismantle it will enrich the tax prep industry at your expense.
