American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Ok, friends. Here’s your homework for the week. Congress is employed by and paid for by the American taxpayer so if federal employees have to submit “5 bullet” points of what they did the week before to “justify” their jobs, so should Congress.

If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.

all of this is a heady mix of bluster, incompetence, and the raptors testing the fences to see which parts are electrified
NEW: The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration sent an email to all roughly 60,000 employees this morning regarding the OPM "Fork in the Road" email, making clear how little she knew, including not knowing whether any agency positions are excluded.

Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:
A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

A useful feature for Bluesky is the ability to follow lists of users that either you wish to block or keep up with. I just followed the list and used instructions below to hopefully minimize the incoming bot posts.
