the certified vegan logo has been around for a quarter century. super simple idea that has made it a lot easier to be vegan. especially if you didn’t live near a specialty health store and just shopped at the normal grocery.

these people are governing by fiat -- and not arbitrarily. if there is any lesson from the past, it's that when we are through this (whether that's in 1 year or 10 years), we have to pursue justice for everyone harmed and that means accountability for literally everyone perpetuating this disaster.

genuinely hope it's not, but it feels like this could be a long, long shutdown.

How long do government shutdowns last? How often do they happen?

Congress has walked up to the edge of a shutdown numerous times in recent years, but prolonged closures are rare.

Nighttime photo of the Frederick Douglass arch bridge in Washington DC; lit up against a twilight sky with hues of orange and dark blue. In the foreground, the silhouetted branches of weeping willow type trees frame the scene. in the foreground, a small group of people are silhouetted in conversation, illuminated street lamps. In the background, beyond the bridge, city buildings show illuminated windows and distinctive blue lighting on three industrial smoke stacks..

in 2009, a no name representative interrupted a president's address to congress and called him a liar out in open air.

in 2025, dozens of the world's most powerful generals sit quietly as a guy with zero military experience tells them to shut up and get ready to kill americans. complete silence.

A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
