Wondering why you're not seeing the American people's rising up across the country?

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

Like I've said, I'm trying very hard to know what they are up to and where they stand and it takes way too much work. I'm a stay at home mom so I have time to check different social feeds, call lots of offices, and google looking for quotes they offer reporters and I'm still lost. Not acceptable.

Visit your library. Linger there. Talk to a librarian. Pop into a program. Download Libby. Grab a movie. Check out huge stacks of books.

Scoop: last night at 4:49 pm OPM staff got an email saying the "fork in the road" buyout was subject to appropriations, some employees would need to work beyond their dates to get it, and the terms of their contract may change.
This was after both shifts had left for the day. Almost no one saw it

Feeling discouraged about my two senators voting to confirm the Sec of Energy, despite constituents’s objections. Does calling even work? With the coup happening, there should be NO reaching across the aisle! No compromise. No confirmations. No passing of any Republican legislation. Obstruct.
