The simplest concept is this: “I wouldn’t like it if it happened to me.”
That’s why I’ll never understand how some people choose to act so cruelly and why I resent having to adapt to a world that makes that behavior normal.

I cannot believe that both NY Senators are (apparently) folding. As a NY-er, I am livid. Excuse me while I go howl at the moon. What’s that? The moon’s gonna disappear tonight, too? Great. Just great. It must be made of Democrat spines.

A Betrayal
Senate Democrats didn't just squander an opportunity to rein in Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They confirmed all the stereotypes that have made them toxic to progressives and swing voters alike.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

KRISHNAMOORTHI: You don't believe that Lutheran Family Services is a money laundering operation, correct?
REYNOLDS: *dissembles*
KRISHNAMOORTHI: Is the Lutheran church a money laundering operation? Of course not!
REYNOLDS: I can't speak to that

And when they find it, will the perpetrators then be elected to the senate? Probably.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

By the way, this is now the second time in the first two weeks Trump has folded. They rescinded the memo about the spending freeze outrage, and now they’ve paused the tariffs for Mexico.
He wants you to think he’s all powerful, he isn’t. Keep up the pressure and attention.

They are politicizing standard payments. Illinois, we are in for a rough time.
We need electeds to know we want action.
Call your red AND blue senators and representatives. Both only have one goal: to get reelected. Tell them they won’t if they don’t do something.
