MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Let TV be TV!
The return of Poker Face and the recent brilliant run of The Pitt inspired me to celebrate TV shows that just want to be (great) TV shows:
Hospital Dramas! Crime Procedurals! Classic TV Is Back and Better Than Ever
Hit shows like 'The Pitt' and 'Poker Face' are a nod to broadcast dramas and procedurals of the past — and audiences are loving it.

I have called my senators every day to beg them to withdraw unanimous consent. Please do the same. They need to grind everything to a halt until these illegal actions stop. Show some fucking backbone and ingenuity during a clear as day coup.

Everyone should be pointing out what is happening at CFPB. There is zero argument to be made here that this is being done to provide taxpayer value. The agency's budget is minuscule, averaging like $600 million/year, yet it has obtained $20 billion in payments from corporations to Americans
Exclusive | Russell Vought Taking Over as New Acting Head of CFPB
Trump fired the CFPB’s Biden-era leader earlier this week, putting in place Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who froze the agency’s work.

Yall, putting the pressure and calling them is something we cannot let up on. Plan on doing this minimum 3-5 times a week in the near future. We need to overwhelm them to the point they do something… ANYthing.
Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
