I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.

This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.

We second this
Federal employees are OK with a shutdown, if it gives needed leverage to stop the cuts. A short shutdown (<a week) can have benefits, if the DEMs could actually be assertive.

(1) Because of the RTO (return to office) order, a friend of mine returned (while her entire team is still home-for now). Then she broke her toe. It's at least an 8 minute walk from the garage to her office (and will be farther after 3/17).

Super thankful for great friends and delicious oysters to take my mind off the horrors for a little bit...

Some other things of note that you might not realize the credit card freeze in FDA has affected-authors who have gone through the peer review process and are in the last stages of publishing their scientific manuscripts, cannot pay the fees to get their hard work published, and there are deadlines

The administration is cutting costs to extend $4B in tax cuts for very rich people at the cost of planes falling out of the sky, your grandma not getting her meds, your kids not having a school to go to, and your neighbors being sent to private prisons to enrich admin's donors.

There's your message
