Nah. Be ungovernable.
House Democratic leadership is privately confronting members who spoke out and walked out during Trump's speech to Congress.
Roughly a dozen Democratic “disruptors” — including Reps. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) —…

People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

You claim to be the party of “small government” but that is a lie. You want to control books, curriculum, teachers, children’s private parts, and every uterus in the state.
You can’t be the party of “small government” when your members act like tyrants.

See, this right here is why I am so critical of Mark Cuban.
The NIH doesn’t need to “remove inefficiencies.” Trump’s not doing this to improve the NIH.
NIH just needs to fund biomedical research.
The last thing we need are billionaires meddling in public health.

Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company. Crazy I know. But reality. The Dir of NIH should reach out to DOGE and offer to bring them in to remove inefficiencies.
There are always some and the Director know what they are.
DOGE gets a win. NIH gets back to work.

I’ve been using myofascial release on my head/neck/shoulders for years and have finally gotten to the point of releasing tissue around my neck and head. Let me tell you that releasing tissue from one side of my septum to the other is the strangest thing I have ever felt.

This weekend spouse and I need to decide whether I should stay on the higher cost med or move to the lower tier med for 1/2 the price that also comes with a risk of dementia when the LC already causes cognitive problems. Fuck big pharma.

I feel like everyone who did hackneyed pr puff pieces on this guy calling him an epic genius and stuff while he was still just a relatively marginal billionaire and not yet the most powerful villain in the world should do a public apology and then retire
In his first big flex of power on Capitol Hill, Elon Musk shitposted a bunch of misinformation to kill a bipartisan spending bill that would have averted a government shutdown, threatened reps supporting it, and demanded Congress stop working until Trump is in office. Awesome stuff
Musk Kills Government Funding Deal, Demands Shutdown Until Trump Is Sworn In
Elon Musk went on a posting spree on X to block a congressional funding bill, saying the government should shut down until Trump becomes president.

Hundreds of student-loan borrowers who applied for debt cancellation are being denied relief by a major lender, over 20 Democratic lawmakers say
Sen. Elizabeth Warren led some of her colleagues in requesting that the CFPB and FTC bolster oversight over student-loan company Navient.
