Punxsutawney
Cool and dark
no longer shivering,
eyes adjusted to the underground.
Midnight fleece cocooned,
eyes slowly close
Flickers of light
barge in unwanted,
announcing blinding flash.
Unwillingly, I unwrap
And suffer, warm, in silence.

Back on THAT January 6th, I watched the confirmation of electoral votes from the very first, THROUGH the INSURRECTION, to the final one in the wee hours of the NEXT morning.
SO, Senator Booker, I'm listening on YouTube. I may yield my chair briefly to Doordash, popcorn, or both.

President Zelenskyy,
The vast majority of Americans are fully sickened to our core by the violence visited upon you every day, with help from our President and his party.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

It ain't hard. Just close the Social Security "donut hole" and tax millionaires at the same rate that they tax soldiers, plumbers, teachers, and truck drivers.
Why do we have to pay the tax on 100% of our income but they don't?
Social Security helps ensure that our elders can live with dignity.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
