We're all focused on the program cuts and the tax breaks - bad enough, but it's more than that. It's Project 2025, buried in all the noise ... impoundment, DOGE, tariff powers, courts, etc. It's a power grab. Slow it down, say it out loud for all to hear.

Read the Big Beautiful Bilk. It's not a budget. It's a power grab.

The budget just passed out of committee isn't a budget. It's theft if power by the Executive. Tariffs, impoundment, DOGE, selling off public land, it's all in there. Say this loud! Read those line items out loud.

This isn't just a budget bill. It regularizes Executive theft of power from the other two branches of government.
- tariff powers
- impoundment
- abolishing and creation of new agencies (including DOGE)

Just a few of many ways this legislation enacts Project 2025 under cover of the budget.

He sounds like the new kid who just wants to show he knows how to use "OPSEC" in a sentence.

My parents, same. Dad was actually born in 1928 but close enough. He was an old school newspaper editor, think "Good Night, and Good Luck" Fred Friendly character. Died at 54 when Hearst was buying it the paper where he worked. This has been going on a long time ....

This is why we'll never have another election

Oh the biggest offenders are untethered words like "it" "this" "these" - so much writing is cluttered with words that seem to point somewhere, but don't actually mean anything.

Oh if we are not allowed to edit posts, this is going to be a setback for me! Especially from mobile because my phone speaks Martian half the time.
