I used to grow alarmed seeing mounted police in DC but now I secretly hope we're being invaded by Canada.

We need a Navalny, not a Newsom.
No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom.
It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

"Did you know it would be this bad? Do you think it'll get worse?"
YES to both.
The questions I've been asked the past week by people who should've known better. I tried my best to warn folks. I wasn't the only one, of course. Alas, now we're all in it and screwed.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets?
We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

It doesn’t seem particularly well thought out to me to withhold Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits from masses of Trump supporters, who are predominantly violent gun nuts.

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

So I guess now we're doing a war with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine and doing besties with Russia? And we don't need to know the weather. Or need immunizations. Education is for suckers & losers, apparently? And Social Security & Medicaid are a ponzi scheme.
All seems legit insane, but what do I know?

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start
Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.
