The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs
America is over. There is no coming back from this.
If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.
The rest of the world has to move on from us.
They now know that the American people can't be trusted.
They're right.

Still thinking of that girl I saw online who acknowledged she had dry eyes but wanted a treatment that didn’t involve eyedrops bc she refused to get used to putting them in and got mad at everyone telling her she needed to learn 🤪

The layoffs are going to hit some economies hard! This is why federal law requires agencies to notify state governments whenever they lay off more than 50 people in an area.
A labor economist told KCUR's Up To Date that Kansas City does not have enough available jobs in the area to make up for all the local federal workers getting laid off by the Trump administration.
Kansas City doesn't have enough jobs available for all the federal workers getting laid off
Federal workers in Kansas City whose jobs were eliminated under the Trump administration's massive budget cuts will have a hard time finding comparable work in the area. Instability in the city's work...

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers.
That you give everyone $2-$3.
But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

I think too many Americans are figuring out the hard way that democracy isn't just a thing you do every four years. It's constantly putting the trash on the curb so you don't get ants.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER!
