Congratulations on selling out your constituents and changing the narrative after last week’s hard fought victories.
FOX CHAD PERGRAM I SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT NEWS SCHUMER SHUTDOWN DAY 40 4803 PT A TEST VOTE TO REOPEN GOVT COULD COME AT ANY MOMENT BREAKING: The deal to reopen the government is DONE — and it's a huge win for Trump!

I started reading a thread of that BS, started getting grumpy, then reminded myself we’ve learned some lessons since 2016, and blocked folks.

Grabbed this from a @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social post earlier today:
Image of a cutie patootie otter holding a sign saying “Imperfection Allies Aren’t Enemies”. with the following text around it: 10 Lessons for Stronger Movements: CRITIQUE TO BUILD, NOT TEAR DOWN ORGANIZE, DON'T JUST ARGUE MOVEMENTS WIN, NOT INDIVIDUALS PERFECTION IS THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS EGO KILLS MOVEMENTS PLAN FOR THE LONG GAME MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE POWER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT FEELINGS DIVISION IS A WEAPON USED BY ELITES, DON'T PLAY ALONG -

When shooting a sunset, turn around.

Ocean Isle, North Carolina, USA. Sometime in the time of Covid. Such an innocent time…

If you’re being praised on that site by that person, @schumer.senate.gov , you’re doing it wrong.
Screenshot of the following text from another site, totally disqualifying Schumer for continued Dem leadership: Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing - Took "guts" and courage! The big Tax Cuts, L.A. fire fix, Debt Ceiling Bill, and so much more, is coming. We should all work together on that very dangerous situation. A non pass would be a Country destroyer, approval will lead us to new heights. Again, really good and smart move by Senator Schumer. This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning! DJT

I need help sourcing responses to this word salad John McGuire has sent to some of his constituents.

If you have specific knowledge you can share to help me craft clear, accurate counterpoints, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!
Letter from Republican John McGuire to his constituents that have voiced concerns regarding DOGE (greeting and closing edited due to length) Many constituents have contacted my office regarding concerns with Elon Musk’s role in President Trump’s Administration. Protecting the privacy of those who reside in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District and the privacy of all American citizens remains a top priority of mine. An individual’s personal records under the purview of the federal government should be protected. It is important to note that Mr. Musk is a major defense contractor who has worked with the U.S. military and, as such, holds one of the highest-level security clearances. President Trump, and every President before him, has the constitutional authority vested under Article II to appoint individuals to help execute and facilitate their vision for our nation. President Trump designated Elon Musk as a “special government employee” through this constitutional authority and asked him to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE is simply the renamed and rebranded United States Digital Service (USDS) created by President Obama in 2014. Our spending is out of control, and DOGE is another tool to help President Trump cut down on wasteful spending and cut through the bureaucratic red tape that has plagued government efficiency for decades. For my constituents who are concerned about the safety of their personal information, I, too, hold your safety and privacy in the highest regard. However, there is no evidence to support the allegation that Mr. Musk or his team has illegally accessed sensitive data. The Department of Justice told a federal judge that there is a “firewall” in place which assures that Mr. Musk and his team do not have direct access to sensitive information. Mr. Musk and his team are not compiling personal or private information; they are working to modernize outdated systems to ensure the government works better for you.

Image is a screenshot of the Bluesky discover feed showing a series of posts that flow randomly and end with an out of context sportsball skeet by Ben Stiller and it’s reminiscent of the beautiful chaos of early Twitter, with the edge of our current dystopia. Comforting and wistful.

Optimist Hall, Charlotte, NC. Did not expect to have a (freaking freezing) moment with a great wave, Venus, and the crescent moon. 🌊🌒🌃

Image is a blur of orange, red, yellow, blue, and white colors on a passing train car. They look a bit like a pic of the sun on a flag. Image is a blur of mostly blue and white colors on a passing train car. There is a word that kind of looks like "assed" in the blur.

Pink Penguins

#JanuArty #Pink theme.

Confession 1 : I enjoy the results of hashtag groups (seeing and interacting with lots of great posts), but the blue links throw off the aesthetics of art posts.

Confession 2 : I will never complete an online “challenge”.
Street photography image of three pink penguins in a picture window in Durham, NC, USA. There is also a “Sidewalk Closed” sign beside the picture window.

Finding ✌🏻’ful moments where we can.

Watching snow at night in our Virginia woods is one of my favorite things.

Haven’t seen Egwene on one of these threads yet.

Also: It seems as if the qualifications for female one ring resister are more debated than for the male nominees. We can’t even catch a fictional break.

Hanging out with the Girl With (a) Ball.

#ArtAdventCalendar (bit of a catch up since I don’t post much during the work week)
One of a series of three images of people viewing Girl With Ball painting by Roy Lichtenstein at MoMA, NYC, NY. This image has someone walking through the foreground, people having conversations, and a guy on his phone while a woman appears to be talking to him.
