The loudest shouts of the night so far are for Diana Ross, whose 18-foot train is embroidered with the name of her kids and grandkids. “Legend!” one person shouted. Another: “You can’t hurry love!”

Makes sense why they’re trying to exclude government spending to GDP to fudge the numbers.

SO puzzled by this. We were told this was the third rail of American politics? And that these interest groups were fearsome?
One thing I am puzzled about is AARP’s weak response to this. In addition to your reps, I’d suggest registering your displeasure with AARP. They have the capacity to mobilize millions of older adults to prevent this. It’s why they’re there! www.aarp.org/social-secur...

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
