Good thing the important work is still being done while the government is shutdown, war has been declared on our cities, and low income Americans are struggling to buy groceries.

@nytimes.com why do you have 10 headlines about Charlie Kirk, a story about a celebrity being killed, but barely a mention about ANOTHER school shouting that happened today?

I’m not saying what happened to Charlie Kirk isn’t terrible, but one headline would suffice.

Both parties are threatening a gerrymandering war for control of Congress.

Voters should choose their leaders, not the other way around.

Ask your representative to end gerrymandering and support the #FairRepAct ⬇️

Take Action: Ask Congress to Support the Fair Representation Act!
Stop gerrymandering, give voters more choice, and make Congress work for us

“With #RankedChoiceVoting, candidates run more positive campaigns — or even ‘cross-endorse’ one another. And instead of worrying about ‘wasting’ their vote or the lesser of two evils, voters can rank their honest preferences." – FairVote's Deb Otis
How ranked choice voting works: A guide ahead of New York City's primary
Instead of picking one candidate for mayor, primary voters can rank up to five. The system has gained popularity (and stirred some controversy) in jurisdictions around the U.S.

The Republican Party…aka Harper Valley PTA.

Hillary’s emails = bad, Hegseth’s signal chat = fine

Discrimination against Christians = bad, Discrimination against Palestinians = okay

Criticism of the police = bad, Retaliation against Capitol police officers for Jan 6 = okay

The list is long.

From the Beatles -

I’m back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are

In 1968 this song was either a parody or an attempt to humanize young people behind the iron curtain. Feels like the sentiment applies in 2025.

This pin was a gift from someone around 2017. Another idea making a comeback.

Today’s song is by Sam Cooke -
A Change is Gonna Come

I do hope the car goes to a family that wants an electric car for a fair price, not a landfill - and means no new sale for Tesla!

Ozzy once sang “one person conditioned to rule and control, the media sells it and you live the roll”
Thank you Reuters, AP, and NYT for continuing to report the whole story.

Looking for something, we can rely on
There's gotta be something better out there
Ooh, love and compassion
Their day is coming (coming)
All else are castles built in the air

Written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle
Recorded by Tina Turner

Anyone else feeling the thunderdome?

Email to all department of commerce employees today…
They couldn’t even disguise this in kind language if they tried. Permission for people who are unwelcoming, noninclusive, and generally uncomfortable around people different from themselves now get to tell on others showing what a$$holes they are

Good to see democrats explaining this stuff
NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.
