PLO recently held a central council meeting, not to discuss reviving the institution or dire concerns in Gaza, but to create a new vice president position & set up Abbas’s successor.

What if I told you, dems, that actually doing something- i.e. blocking what's happening meaningfully even if not completely - will generate the interest you seek?

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.
