I wish I could say yes. Unless you mean this particular Congressman, then yes, he is a joke!

I made sure to let him know they are horribly inaccurate and dangerously misleading....not just misleading, outright lies. And anyone that refers to immigrants as "illegals" is a terrible person.

I'm not so naive or stupid to know that this is a tactic in many conservative districts. A lot of people, some even here in Fort Wayne, read this and think this is all the truth. I gave the Congressman my name, phone, number, email and home address, and await his response 🤣

I was tempted to respond in many different ways. I called his office in Fort Wayne. It was Friday, after 5pm so of course no one was there. I called him "fucking horrible" and told him to stop being ridiculous. And that obviously, this is unfair and untrue.

I live in Indiana's 2nd congressional district, represented by Marlin Stutzman. He and his team sent an email survey regarding the government shutdown and what voters in Indiana want. The screenshot below shows the options given in the survey.

This is a piece about VA counseling in open air cubicles and other spaces, clearly violating ethical and legal standards. But it speaks to a broader issue within civil service.

If there are any lawyers that advocate for veterans and/or mental health out there, is there anything you can do?

The waffling and on-again-off-again policies, ideas, and concepts of ideas are brazen maneuvers designed for buying low and selling high. It's clearly unethical and we all just let it happen. The rich get richer, the poor stay poor. And the fabric of our entire country has become threadbare.

Recently, my partner and I sent out letters to the Democrats, some of whom I've tagged here. We are pleading for something to be done to stop the country and society from unraveling.

I don't think it matters to them anymore. It's all about the money in our politics and policies.

Go. I understand the urge to boycott. Believe me. But go. And use everything he says as fuel to go on the offensive against him, his regime and their policies. Do not clap or stand for him. But go.

Here is a response I received from Jim Banks, regarding a message I left for him. There's so much outright bullshit. There are 3 lies, in succession, concerning the border, the economy, and helping veterans. None of this has been accomplished and two of the three have taken several steps backwards.

I just called each of my 3 representatives in Congress and it took no time at all. There's even a script for you to read from to make your point a little more clear.

Elon and his loyalist army have locked career civil servants out of crucial databases. With no oversight, they are running rampant through this system collecting data, like home addresses, social security numbers, income and tax information.
