Here is a survey from my congressman asking if we approve of DOGE and asking for places they can look for waste.

I told him they can start with his salary...feel free to respond.

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue. Please stay updated and bookmark this page for your health and well-being.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Okay, I want to say it again for anyone who needs to hear it right now:

Yes, calling is better for getting in touch with your reps. But right now? DO IT HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.

I'm really concerned that the emphasis on calling right now is stopping people from getting in touch.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

This is a disaster.

Medicaid payment portals for providers are completely shut down, and there’s zero guidance from the Trump administration. And that’s not all! Watch this clip…

Trump has left everyone high and dry—including his own supporters. No plan, no answers—just chaos.

A web developer has created and released an infinitely generating "tar pit" designed to trap AI training bots in an endless maze: "Just me unleashing shear unadulterated rage at how things are going"

Developer Creates Infinite Maze That Traps AI Training Bots
"Nepenthes generates random links that always point back to itself - the crawler downloads those new links. Nepenthes happily just returns more and more lists of links pointing back to itself."

if any Democrats besides AOC want to weigh in about the misrule that's already been prevalent over this first week that'd be pretty cool

If you would like to see how much economic activity and grants and how many people are employed through NIH in your state, just use this handy website.

And then contact your Congressional Rep and tell them to prioritize NIH. www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

I called Hawley and Schmitt’s office yesterday to tell them to vote no on Pete Hegseth.

Republicans don’t have a mandate to confirm an alcoholic with credible rape allegations. What if Hawley got 1,000 calls today? What if every Republican Senator got 1,000 calls?

Hawley: 202.223.6154

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.
