ALERT TO FEDERAL WORKERS: The Thursday “deadline” set by Musk isn’t a thing. Congress hasn’t appropriated the funds to pay you what he promised should you resign by today — nor has Congress authorized anyone to threaten you with losing anything for staying on.

As Congress is on the cusp of passing a resolution to avoid ruining Christmas for thousands of hard-working Americans, Elon threatens to shut it all down. Welcome to oligarchy. You are now under the rule of Elon Musk and his little errand boy, Donald Trump.

Trump is pushing us toward a government shutdown that would hurt countless Virginia families: federal workers, small businesses, and the communities that rely on them. In Richmond and Washington, this MAGA agenda is putting politics over people. We have to stop them.

I wonder if they considered this when they decided to close the churches. As US membership continues to freefall, I would hope/expect that they could have included the faithfully in the process. Even if the outcome were the same, transparency and inclusion could have made it more palatable.
As the curtain closed on his church last week, one Catholic also reached the final act of his faith.

Since I've joined @bsky.app I have tried to find my construction peeps. They aren't here because they voted for Trump. Now, they get to find ways to run their businesses without workers. Can't wait to hear them twist themselves in circles trying to blame Dems for problems they caused!
ICYMI: I asked the 10 biggest homebuilders in America to comment on plans for mass #deportations. Nearly one-third of the construction labor force is made up of #immigrants. Only one wanted to comment - sort of.
The US is short millions of housing units. Mass deportations could make it worse.
Immigrants make up a significant portion of the construction labor force. Deporting them could have devastating consequences for the housing market.
