Anyone NOT in DC: call your congresscritters and leave a message. You can do it right now. Simple script:

"DOGE is raiding the FDIC tomorrow. What are you going to do to protect our savings from Musk? Because it can't be nothing."
BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.

FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

MAGAts don’t understand that the lifestyles they enjoy are supported by the people Fox News tells them to HATE.

This is how my family came to the US: my father was hired as an assistant professor at a university. He earned tenure & spent DECADES transferring knowledge to American students. They went on to have careers and (probably) mentor/cultivate others.

Sadly, most Americans don’t understand what can happen to their country when it is no longer a desirable place to live - brain drains are inevitable. The resulting long-term economic collapse will shock some MAGAts out of their delusions, that’s for sure.

This is terrifyingly short-sighted. Schumer needs to be primaried out of office.

That’s terrifying. So now I have to get out ASAP - got it. 😭

I’m glad the PM is taking that threat seriously, because it’s real.

My immediate thought when I heard about this executive order was “what if this becomes the only type of work that women of childbearing age are allowed to do?“

All joking aside, the path we're headed down is widespread civil conflict. Official corruption is generally more of an accelerant than the curtailment of rights, though they often go hand-in-hand, as we're seeing.
