Bluegrass ranch wedding and event Bluegrass band in Colorado since 2007.
Oh beautiful
For spacious skies
For waves of amber grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain

People all over the world see the mental instability, gross incompetence, and fascist aspirations of the person occupying the White House.

It's a tragedy that so many people in America can't.

My family and I had barely been in our Lisbon Uber for ninety seconds when our gregarious driver Nuno, recognizing our accents asked, “So… are you pro-Trump or anti-Trump?”

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

One of the best articles I’ve read about the Musk situation.

“We're watching the illegal seizure of government power by private interests in real time. Full stop. There's no complex legal theory that makes this okay.”
Unfuck your brain. Basic truths. Two plus two equals four. There are twenty-four hours in the day. Are the narratives in your head consistent with these basic truths? Don't be so sure of yourself.
Twenty Four Hours
The gradual normalization of Elon Musk's unprecedented power concentration reveals a dangerous erosion of democratic norms. We must confront this reality to preserve our constitutional order.
