Channeling my nervous energy into a knitting project that uses the random balls of yarn that have been cluttering up my life for years. I’ve been wanting to combine all the green leftovers for ages.

The American people deserve an intelligence chief that will stand up to Donald Trump if he gives them a directive to illegally gut funds from watchdogs that oversee intelligence agencies. Tulsi Gabbard refused to answer, which tells you everything you need to know.
WYDEN: If Trump orders you to withhold appropriated funds from the inspector general, would you refuse that illegal order?
GABBARD: I don't believe for a second President Trump would ask me to do something that breaks the law
WYDEN: That's not what I'm asking.

Yesterday, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention of people charged with assaulting law enforcement officers.
Meanwhile, he pardoned more than 100 insurrectionists convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers. This is not about "law and order."

Proud of the county schools I attended.
Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.
This is how you refuse to comply.

What Caused a Crash Into the Potomac? For Trump, It Was Diversity.
In a briefing that recalled his most extreme first term remarks, President Trump said without any evidence that diversity initiatives caused the midair collision.

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to point out the top levels of the federal government aren't functional—the three key leaders here are drunk rapist TV show host at DoD, reality TV star at DoT, and nobody at FAA—and they're doing squat except spreading the same dysfunction down the ladder.
REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director?
DUFFY: *walks away*
