Instead of just reading summaries on news sites, I highly recommend going through these executive orders and really absorbing the intent and language. It's fucked.

It is not the Democrats’ responsibility to bail out the Republicans, who are in the majority. They wanted the gavel, they should learn how to govern with it.
Can someone remind Elon which party is in the majority in the House?

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.

Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

BlueSky feels like a little like old comrades reuniting and embracing after a long war.

But it feel even more like dinking around on a website with your dork friends.
