I grew up in Jersey and figured I'd reach out. #newjersey get out and vote for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for governor. For me it boils down to a great candidate who also isn't going to bow to Trump, allow him to turn our nation into his personal fiefdom and flush our democracy down the toilet.

Is #Hegseth recalling all the generals for a mass firing or replacing with Trump loyalists? Will #Trump require an oath of loyalty? Is this a staging for a mass-casualty event to give the administration an excuse to grab total power? Will they try to sell a dystopian world view?

1. The Trump administration claims that a program to protect rural Alabamans from raw sewage is racist so it is canceling the program as part of its crackdown on "DEI"

According to a press release, this is about treating "every individual with dignity and respect."

Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ?

Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

What happens if the USD loses its status as the world's dominant trade currency? Could countries shift to the euro, yuan or another? How would that affect the USA economy and our influence in the world - beyond the current chaos?

60 days in and we've become a mature dictatorship: protesting a company run by co-POTUS Musk will now get you sent to a prison in El Salvador.

We went from being the United States to being the Soviet Union in 2 months—and Democrats did nothing to stop it.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix*

The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc…

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?
