Their job is to **identify American soldiers** killed in combat and Trump has told them to stand down and stop their work. "Forensic genealogists who help identify U.S. soldiers killed in combat were told to pause their efforts..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Tariffs cause inflation and recession." That is the message. Short and simple, repeated everywhere. We have to get out ahead of the Republican noise machine that is trying to blame the coming economic downturn on Biden.

We are probably heading for a recession. And the stock market is likely going down. What are good strategies to preserve retirement accounts? I don't think we'll have Social Security at the levels(if at all) to depend on. I won't have a decade to recover like I did last time.

@msnbc.com I've heard you are cancelling @joy.msnbc.com I'm still mad about your cancelling Melissa Harris Perry and Tiffany Cross. We need strong black women's voices. It's a bad look to bend the knee in advance.

Breaking News The US constitution has been removed from the US government website. Don't panic, he can't rewrite anything without a 2/3 majority in both the house and senate. The Orange Idiot in Orifice is posing for the Nazis again We urge everyone to post an image of the constitution today

Genealogy articles I wrote during 2024 are all hitting editing this month. In a couple of months it will look like I write a lot of articles at the same time.

Today, I received an image of the apprenticeship record for the first of my 6 generation line of master gingerbread bakers. It is dated 1620. His baptism occurred in 1601. I love #genealogy

And with the stroke of a pen social security benefits that public sector workers earned have been restored. I will be able to retire someday.

For a lot of reasons I am preparing to not contribute to the consumer economy in a couple of weeks. We did some stocking up to hedge against rising prices due to bad economic policies and corporate greed.

In honor of discovering my Bavarian ancestors (back to 1600!) I have been making German foods. I made gingerbread for Christmas, since I come from a long line of master gingerbread bakers (17th to 19th centuries from father to son). Tonight I tried making gluten free spätzel. It worked perfectly.

Please contact your Senators to ensure this gets passed. Senator Schumer is bringing it to the floor THIS WEEK. It has bipartisan support. Passage would really help public school teachers and other government employees. We need WEP and GPO to be repealed. www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

We will block as much of Trump’s agenda as we can. Where we can’t block, we’ll use what’s happening to break up his coalition and build ours. We will fight to win, delay, or land a political blow: indivisible.org/groups
