Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

I asked if I could take his picture. Yes. I stepped across a band of shit. The pigeons began to frighten. Too close. A cloud of gray & blue & pink rushed at me. He looked up. Bare of birds. He said nothing. I stepped back. The birds returned. Together they ate. He said “Now,” & I took my picture.

It really feels like to me, and I don't know much, that this is a cataclysmic opportunity to evolve DEI. How about we just be adults about this? We clearly see the mess, DEI is simply a symptom. 30+/hr minimum wage? Makes sense. Costco, per usual, leading the way.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:
Congress must immediately act.
That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

Resist in solidarity, Inspector Generals! Keep true, we don't have a King!
The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.
