Hey everyone!
Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!
But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Okay.. I mentioned getting girl scout cookies from local troops, LGBTQ+ scouts, and troop 6000 in NYC (girl scouts in shelters). girl scouts in MN are having trouble selling cookies too. Keep them in mind to order offline from them.
A friend shared with me a girl scout cookie link from a group that's having a hard time selling in Minneapolis right now.

this is why i think there needs to be legal accountability for republicans in congress. they swore an oath of office
This isn't just a political choice, it's an abdication of Congress' Article 1 responsibility to perform executive oversight and ensure the government complies with the law.
The Republican-led Congress has has broadly declined to pull the political and legal levers that could apply tangible pressure on the Trump administration to show it’s in compliance

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.
He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

It's very strange that there are people here who are arguing that these demands amount to nothing.
in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits
