Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empire—Trump’s administration and Musk—may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. We’ve always known—tomorrow, there will be more of us.

The most efficient type of government is a dictatorship. Democracy is intentionally inefficient because it is a system of checks and balances with action taken only by painstaking compromise between both parties. It is meant to move slowly to preserve democracy—not to move fast and break things.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.

It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.

In that sense, the system is working very well.

But it is not working for the average American.

We need Medicare for All.

The world is watching and waiting to see if we Christians really “love our neighbors as ourselves.” Trump Christians didn’t want government caring for the least of these so will they now step up to do it instead? Or will they just look the other way?

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It's not about food. It's about keeping those ants in line.“ - Hopper

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”
