I urge everyone who can. Go to your local public school and pay for a kid to have a lunch. If your kid packs a lunch and there are kids without a lunch. Pack an extra and have your kid quietly give it to them. This will get worse and there will be more kids

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Turns out it wasn't DEI or trans servicemembers who put our security at risk, it was our unqualified Secretary of Defense.
The biggest issue here is that this happened and our servicemembers could have died.
The concerns we had about Sec. Hegseth's nomination were warranted. He should resign.

the strongest case for socializing the ownership of capital is that the current owners of capital are idiots
Business leaders all across America are freaking out that Trump's tariffs will kneecap their firms.
“There’s an overriding sense of helplessness” among executives. “CEOs are feeling stunned, and they’re not used to feeling like they don’t have good moves.”

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.
Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

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.
