Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

If you’ve been scolded by the Pope AND by the Auschwitz Memorial in the same week, it’s time to take a minute and reconsider your choices.
Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you.
STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Hey so I’m a constituent and I’d truly like to know what you’re doing about really any of this.
I mean this sincerely. You wanted to represent California, and now I want to know how you plan to do so. I’ll be calling your office for answers, and I’d ask my fellow Californians to do the same!

History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.
Let’s not become one of them.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Since the US election, many analysts and journalists are still framing what's coming as roughly like a traditional presidency: led by the president, filled with appointees that have real roles, aiming to produce workable policy that serves US interests. I don’t think any of this is looking correct.
