Agree! I live in DC, have a spouse that is a fed. We are all hurting! Just saying the unhappiness of the people is clearly not making them fix things. Corporate pressure might help. All short term answers until we can get back people who actually care about rule of law and people's lives.

Not true at all. Fed Employee unions are why the initial firings were reversed by courts. They are providing support RIGHT NOW to people not getting paid.

Some travel absolutely needs to happen. But we learned during the COVID lockdown that A LOT doesn't. Businesses could go back to more virtual meetings. Some can make different vacation plans or put off trips.

Maybe then the airlines will put some pressure on govt to fix their mess.

I finally put my Ravenclaw t-shirt in a toss pile. I haven't been able to bring myself to wear it in a few years, because I don't want to be associated with her publicly. But it is time to just get rid of it.

I think one of the greatest dangers we are facing now is suddenly disillusioned MAGAs - something happens that causes their whole belief system to come crashing down, and they feel intensely betrayed and lash out violently.

I knew we were heading towards Idiocracy, but I really thought it would take longer to get to this stage of it.

I wonder what would happen if everyone witnessing that called 911 to report an abduction. Because there is no way to know that those are actually police.

After the 3rd new primary care physician I had within 2 years quit, I haven't had the energy to find a new one, and have just gone without care for. PCP Before that went concierge ($2000 on top what insurance pays.) I tried using urgent care for a bit, but no continuity. Something is so very wrong.

I assume this means they can also refuse to treat men and Republicans....

LAWSUIT!!! Wrongful arrest, assault, pain and suffering, anything else that can think of. If these "agents" start having to defend themselves in court, maybe it will get them off the streets & change actions.

Every single person there should have been calling 911 to report assault and kidnapping by unknown assailants. It shouldn't be happening like this even if the assailants were identifiable. But if they are not clearly identifiable as police or federal agents, it should be assumed they aren't.
June 17, 2025 at 8:57 PM
People need to start reporting them for assault and sueing them for wrongful arrest or anything else that applies.

What are the chances that he was diagnosed with something and was so angry and in denial that he turned his focus to his current hyper-fixations? Because his thought processes do not seem neurotypical to me. Reminds me of how some Scientologists vilify psychiatry.

Can Congress do anything to prevent DOGE from just stealing all fed govt data during a shutdown? Like they just did at NLRB, but at least there were witnesses to whistleblow?

Disgusting.

Though they would likely then use it as another excuse to try to take over DC from its residents and their elected government.
April 8, 2025 at 7:44 PM
It will probably cost even more. When this was proposed in his last admin, DC said the streets will be seriously damaged if heavy military equipment drives on them. But tanks and such will probably be included anyway. If so, I hope DC refuses to make the repairs, and leaves PA Ave a rutted mess.

Now that is a classic!

CA should withhold $ for disaster recovery & preparedness from what they would have sent to the fed govt, since they can't count on the fed govt to provide it w/o strings.

CA should also expand its wildfire fighting program with that $, & charge red states or fed if they are needed elsewhere.
March 28, 2025 at 4:47 PM
Because this admin has shown it doesn't care about the rule of law or the constitution. They are going to do whatever they can get away with and play victim whenever anyone tries to stop them and uphold the law.

I hope all of the states that give more to the fed than they receive do the same. Any state that sees it's fed money cut should reduce what they pay to the fed by that amount, and use it to offset what they lost.

I seem to recall he made some comments, but if so, it was barely covered. But there seems to be massive suppression of voices on the left in social and other media, so it is also possible it was caught up in that. If so, hopefully he can figure out how to get word out better going forward.
