So let me get this straight, the man responsible for firing thousands of people, and crippling the global economy is now forcing student loan borrowers off their deferment plans? What could possibly go wrong? #FDT

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

No advisory committee.

The U.S. DOGE Service is not even close to the “most transparent organization in government ever.”

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.
Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

Interesting how Fox News isn't covering news of Tariffs or Musk taking control of Government funds and data. It's almost like this new won't be popular with their base?

Gah, the news is overwhelming. Please make sure you're taking care of yourself. Get outside, call your people, listen to music, do what makes your heart happy. And then get back to the resistance.

Cheers to starting new rituals and routines. I'm ready for the collective awakening. Saying goodbye to Meta and hello to more meditation, oracle readings, journaling and stillness.
