In this critical time of Trump saying he/GOP is "entitled to 5 more seats" in Texas and other Red states attempting to one-up them... its an ideal time to go back and read/listen to Carter Hanson's excellent The Eisenhower Institute's series on Gerrymandering... start with medium.com/@chanson7908...

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

30 minutes after Trump declared the National Guard had been deployed and did a "great job" in LA, the Mayor of LA, Karen Bass, posted and clarified that the National Guard was not deployed in LA.

All Trump and his administration do is lie, twist the narrative and claim a win.

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace.

It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

Progress in identifying neurodiverse traits increases people’s ability to make informed choices to improve their lives. Just like ADD, the traits themselves are not a moral judgement or excuse for bad behavior.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

DOGE already has cost tax payers money (at the very least $500B/year in IRS revenues, but that's before other huge costs are accounted for).

And as I keep noting, Elon's $150B/year estimate is what some of the IGs who got fired were finding--w/o cutting services.
Doge will end up costing tax payers money and not saving one nickel.
All we will have done is opened up our books to a group of nefarious folks for some yet to be determined reason.

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
