The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The felon in the White House is a danger to the USA. 🇺🇸

He says:

“Journalists are ‘enemies of the people.’
Judges are ‘biased’ if they rule against him.
Protesters are ‘terrorists.’
Immigrants are “invaders.”
And now, dissenters, even those U.S.-born, might lose their citizenship.”
SCOTUS: “The Government cannot sever its relationship to the people by taking away their citizenship.”

TRUMP: “Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.”

When the President threatens to strip citizenship for speaking out, freedom itself is on the line.

If you're like me, you're anxious to start cleaning up + digging around in the yard. But it's not time yet! Hold off to give the good bugs time to wake up from their winter slumber. I'm starting seeds indoors instead. 😁

PLEASE continue to call #Ohio senators! Actually it would be best if you increase your calls now!📞

“Ohio’s two U.S. senators, Republicans Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted, were bombarded with so many calls last month that their office phone systems broke down.” via @cleveland.com.

The top spokeswoman for the Office of Personnel Management — the agency driving the layoffs of thousands of federal workers — filmed videos of herself modeling clothes in her office. Former agency officials and ethics watchdogs say the timing and content of the videos were unlawful and tone-deaf.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

Tesla has built largely self-sufficient supply chains in the U.S. and China, a rarity in a world of interconnected trade. As a result, the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration might help Tesla by hurting its competitors more.

The electric car company led by Elon Musk builds all the cars it sells in the United States in California and Texas, shielding it from tariffs that could devastate competitors.

Under the 1994 Treaty USA signed
with Ukraine, UK and Russia,
to enduce Ukraine to give up
its nuclear weapons to Russia,
America agreed to provide security
to Ukraine in the event of aggression.

Trump is breaking that Treaty,
as is Russia.

Why would anyone make an agreement with the USA now?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The White House announced details Tuesday of a “deferred resignation” offer it made to federal employees that allows them to resign with pay through Sept. 30.

Here’s what we know about the offer.

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

I try so hard not to freak out, but then I see this. Besides the horrific attacks on human rights and freedom, he says energy is a national emergency - but wants to get rid of energy efficiency and fuel economy. We're in for a hell of a ride.

#CLE homeowners: Today's a great day to get the snow away from your ice filled gutters. If you don't have a roof rake, a plastic shovel or broom works too. This helps the sun melt the ice that causes ice dams.
