Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD.

Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%.

Keep voting with your wallet.

Thank you Senator Warnock!
Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary:

"I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it."

BOOM!

The other benefit is that 5 Calls app & other electronic platforms like this time-stamp & document that your call was made. Reps, Senators, Govs, etc. cannot defend a lie such as “We haven’t received any calls about that issue…” Eg, over 15,000 calls made opposing RFK

It's Pritzker and AOC who get it so far. Who else?
🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

I know. Me too.

Call your reps--this gives you their numbers AND a script. I promise doing something, even this small thing, will make you feel better than not doing it.
Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

In case you were wondering why Chinese tariffs are 15% less than for Canada and Mexico, follow the money.

Elon Musk currently has a 4,500,000 sq. ft. car manufacturing plant in China. Tesla does not currently have car plants in Canada or Mexico. One is planned for Mexico. In time for a tariff lift.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Okay, posting again this as a message to myself (but for anyone who also needs to hear it):

1. When the news makes you feel paralyzed, close the window. Take a break. You can't help if you're overwhelmed.

2. Focus on the things in your control and take ONE action. Just start w/ a small one.
