Dump’s federal hiring freeze comes at a critical time, when fire departments across the country would typically onboard thousands of seasonal federal firefighters in preparation for wildfires in the spring and summer. “It’s going to be really bad, really quick.” 🤦♀️

'CFPB RIP': Musk and Trump's plans to shrink an agency that cracks down on medical debt and overdraft fees are underway
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called for a halt on most of the CFPB's work. It could impact rules on overdraft fees, medical bills, and more.

we don’t need (and have no use for) a thousand people who think in lockstep - but refuse to work with those who aren’t; we need a few million who agree on just *one* actionable thing: in this case, “let’s fight fascism”
Had the first quote that says "but we can only fight if we all are on the same page and agree what mistakes were made"--
Friend, anyone who is telling you this doesn't really want you to fight fascism. They want you to fight each other.

A majority of American “Christians” are now realizing that they don’t actually want the burden of being Christ-like.
They want to feel unlimited self-righteousness while cloaked in a comforting sense of moral superiority as they do cruel, hateful, unChristian things.
THAT’S their happy place.

This is how we resist. We stay focused and we keep them distracted. We make every single thing they want to do harder. Sand in the gears. Wrench in the works. No "common ground." No compromise. No surrender.
Even with an authoritarian, making bad policy takes time. Let's run out their clock.

Trump and Johnson taking time out to rage about Bishop Budde's very normal and thoughtful sermon is a good lesson that these guys are easy to sidetrack and should be confronted and opposed at all times
