worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.
Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.

If you are preaching this Sunday, follow Karl Barth’s dictum: read the lectionary then read the news.
And let your sermon write itself.

When they say they want to outlaw "DEI," they mean they want to eliminate any mention of the existence of non-white people.

To continue to refer to a Gulf of Mexico is a rejection of the hate movement and/or an attempt to push back against the power grab.
To refer to a Gulf of America is to agree to be part of bolstering the hate movement and power grab.

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control.
Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

Folks (and this thing has gone around quickly), it's still unclear *what* has been "deleted"; as many of you have noted DirectFile remains active. Part of the danger of Government-By-Unelected-Nutball is that what's actually *true* is a moving target.

Elon Musk claims to have "deleted" the office in the IRS which has enabled people to file their tax returns electronically, simply, and for free.

I don't throw around the word "Kapo" lightly. But unless the head of the ADL and everyone who endorsed this apology for Elon's fascist gesture resigns, the name fits and should be used.

every elected Democrat who felt good putting out a statement today calling it a “peaceful transfer of power” should be fucking embarrassed
BREAKING: President Trump pardons and commutes the sentences of Jan. 6 rioters.
Trump pardons roughly 1,500 criminal defendants charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack
The sweeping pardons would mark the beginning of the end of one of the largest investigations in FBI history.

It’s time for you to sit down old man. You have allowed the Republicans to destroy this country. You are not a leader. You should not be in Congress. You are an abomination and will be remembered as a sick old man who worked with Nazis instead of protecting the population all while lying like a rug.
It is time to look to the future.
The challenges that face America are many and great.
The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.
