Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Today I'm feeling grateful for the efficiency of our National Archives; My father died and I was trying to locate his discharge document, in order for him to receive military honors by Marines at his memorial. In less than a week, NA retrieved that 75 year old record. Thank you 🖤

The media still doesn't understand the assignment. The last line -the very last- of AP's report picked up by my local:

"In the final minutes of his first term as president, Trump issued a pardon to Pirro’s ex-husband, Albert Pirro, who was convicted in 2000 on conspiracy and tax evasion charges"
Fox News host picked by Trump to be top DC prosecutor
Trump tapped Pirro to lead the nation's largest U.S. Attorney's office after pulling his nomination of conservative activist Ed Martin Jr. for the position.

You all make us proud. Every time we share information, you’re right there helping us amplify it and push back. Huge thanks to those who stepped up—especially the lawyers. Word spread, and Musk’s team was made aware that Wisconsin law prohibits payments for voter turnout.

Gift link to a @washingtonpost article in 2020 I wrote about police/law enforcement hiding their names & faces from the public they serve. Seems applicable now. With few exceptions, cops must not be anonymous. We shouldn’t be so afraid of our neighbors

The wind gusts are 60 mph outside my house this morning, outages are reported in the area, and I can only pray power workers will be safe. That some were fired for NOTHING is an intolerable injustice. The GOP and their felon just aren't content unless the people suffer, especially blue staters.
Elon is firing HUNDREDS of highly skilled workers at Bonneville Power Administration.

Engineers, dispatchers, lineworkers. These positions are funded by PNW ratepayers—NOT from federal funding.

It doesn't save taxpayers a DIME! Our grid is at risk because Elon doesn't have a CLUE what BPA is.

Last week, Elon took $8 MILLION with an M—as in ‘Musk can’t count’—and counted it as $8 BILLION with a B—as in ‘BS.’

That is not saving money—it is poor reading comprehension.

He might be a joke, but none of this is funny—and he's creating actual fraud.
Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.

A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.

It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.

A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
