Our wobbly democracy is worth the fight.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Please do not respond to my calls for action with asking me why it’s important to call whether your member of Congress will agree with you or not. That’s NOT the reason that we call. The reason that we call is to make our voice HEARD and that matters whether you live in a blue, red, purple district.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans.
A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer.

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress?

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something:
Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain."
And just stand there.
This is how many of you are coming across.

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them.
We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it?
Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.
