I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

I know there's a lot going on, but I would like to highlight that Mike Johnson slipped language into an otherwise routine House procedural vote yesterday that now blocks Democrats from forcing an investigation into Pete Hegseth’s Signal scandal, through October.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

The Richmond Hands Off March was inspiring and hopeful. There was a very surprising lack of counter-protesters. I would guess 3,000 people.

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration?
Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta.
This is why you always follow the money.

Just FYI- Elon Musk giving paid Republican voters/petition signers $1 Million is the same as someone whose net worth is $5 Million giving someone $10. Money and people mean nothing to him.

I appreciate the Friday boycott, but I encourage everyone to go one step further. Really need that Amazon account? After the inauguration, it became clear Amazon needed to go altogether. Happy to say our shared Amazon account, through which we spent THOUSANDS of dollars annually, is gone.
