This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

“My show had value,” Joy Reid said. “Whether it was the BLM issues ... (or) talking about Gaza and the fact that we as the American people have a right to object to little babies being bombed ... I am not sorry that I stood up for those things. ”

Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, both of whom were VIP guests at the Trump inauguration and GOP festivities today, want you to believe they’re ‘independent’ and anti-Establishment journalists.
Ok.

Trump is taking credit for the ceasefire as if he’s already president. To be fair, millions of Americans have been drinking as if he’s already president.

The Biden/Harris administration put a cap on insulin of $35 a month and a cap on 10 more lifesaver drugs (among them there is Eliquis that I must use and that is extremely expansive). The bill or law should start from 2026. I am wondering if this will change during the Trump administration. Anyone?

For an entire year these children lived far away from their parents.
Al lived his all life in a brace with iron sticks going from his chin to his limbs. He was courageous, he studied and became a wonderful doctor with an admirable empathy.
The external signs are still very visible.
