Agggh. Why can’t I get my Claire Austin to produce that many blooms!!!
Claire Austin . It bears pleasingly cupped, pale lemon buds which gradually open to medium sized, creamy white flowers, the outer petals perfectly arranged in concentric circles. They have a strong myrrh fragrance with dashes of meadowsweet, vanilla and heliotrope. Photo by Mell in Austria

I would only amend this post to say “MORE women will die” Women are already dying post Roe and it will now get worse.

DOGE STAFF
Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.

ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

According to a leaked internal memo, Trump and Musk are now set to introduce a destructive, DOGE-driven plan for Social Security.

The Social Security Administration is preparing to add what Trump and Musk are framing as an “anti-fraud” step to claims for earned benefits.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

You have $100 in your checking account.

One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals.

You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program.

Would you be ok with it?

Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.

When I worked in government we paid for our own bottled water delivery and a fridge. We had a monthly collection and new staff bought in while old staff were bought out of the fridge. We couldn’t use appropriated $ for our benefit. DOGE is gov waste.
DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

And I also want their power pearls.
America missed the mark. We could’ve had it made in the shade. Regardless of how you felt about these women, they was not going to FIRE ppl. They wasn’t gonna kick ppl off Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, federal jobs, etc. They wanted the American ppl to have human rights!

So sorry for the entire group. Many friends and colleagues experiencing the same. There is no rationale to the dismissals.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Why It Matters

This investigation is an attempt to dismantle Biden-era climate initiatives under the pretense of financial oversight. By using law enforcement to target climate funding, the Trump administration is leveraging the legal system for political gain.

The electoral college has to go. We can’t have our country controlled by an out of step minority.

And Democrats in the House need something to run on in 18 months. Draft it, introduce, sign up cosponsors. Talk about it. Run on it. What will voters get that is different. Build an agenda
Passing laws would require the GOP in Congress and the Senate to grow backbones.

I just ordered mine. Everyone should do so asap - you might as well have them on hand rather than have them simply wasted by the government.
This site to order free Covid tests is still up. I wonder if that means that the tests are still available. (Turnip threatened to destroy them.)

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Sweetie, WE are our leaders. There's no one, nada, zilch in DC that is capable of leading an opposition to the fascist. They're constrained by coloring in the lines.

Ethics matter more to women than to men (sorry to say). Studies have shown that women in leadership positions are more likely to confront unethical behavior than men. So put more women in power.
Ethics actually matters.

It is devastating for the parents. But let’s put the blame on the tech oligarchs who refuse to moderate content and create algorithms that drive false content. And the politicians who lie and the press reporting “both sides” of settled science.
It’s absolutely insane what those parents are doing to their children. It borderlines on abuse.

Don’t shop at anti union Whole Foods👇
Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia.

Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.
