Dear #Swifties & wannabe Swifties:

Consider this as an action item, to help people hurt by government shutdown and cutbacks. Make 13 donations at whatever cadence you can of $13 to Feeding America, marking them in honor of “Taylor’s Example”.

And then tell someone else!

Our tax code is rigged.

It’s not fair that a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

4 in 5 families participating in SNAP in North Carolina have either a child, a senior, or an adult with a disability in the household.

Tell Tillis that North Carolinians, regardless of if they’re poor, deserve the chance to live and feed their family. ⬇️

This seems really significant. The Judge will want to know how the error occurred and who fed the lawyers inaccurate information. Government lawyers are trained to make sure their representations to the court on material matters are truthful and accurate. Judge Kelley is unlikely to be pleased.
👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID

1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.

2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.
