Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

Pete Hegseth better make sure he gets a pardon
Because it sure looks like he violated the Posse Comitatus Act
"Whoever..uses..the [military] as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both"
18 US Code § 1385

Congressional Republicans are turning their backs on Americans to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
This budget resolution lays the foundation for Trump to gut Medicaid and strip resources from seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, children, and working families.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

I am trying to find a balance between staying informed, finding hope, and the anxiety that the state of the country and where it seems to be heading is making me feel.
It all seems so bleak right now.

I've taken up a new strategy when calling my reps, since I live in a red state:
I have taken to pointing out how weak the Republican party looks by not standing up to Elon. After all, the power of Congress comes from controlling the budget, and they're just letting him take that power away.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Where is the line? What is next? Here is what I think will happen: now that Elon got away with doing it, Trump will do it next. His base will think it's funny because he is owning the libs. They will start doing it too... This is how they'll identify each other, and easily single us out.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

TikTok literally just proved that they didn’t have to go dark last night.
Donald Trump isn’t President yet. Legally, nothing has changed. TikTok is using Joe Biden’s non-enforcement promise while thanking Donald Trump instead.

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law.
They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Is it me or was this message super dystopian?
