I mean, he's not constitutionally eligible for the term he's currently serving on account of his treasonous attempt to overturn an election and 34 felony convictions, yet here we are. In my 4-cat alarm test, this one hits #4 HARD. - voting rights - free elections - civil liberties - rule of law 🚨

I get it. The zone is flooded. Here's the filter to use to decide how alarmed to be: Does the latest crisis directly affect one of these categories? - Voting rights 🚨 - Fair elections 🚨 - Civil liberties - Rule of law 🚨 This is a 🚨🚨🚨 case. Buying votes is blatantly illegal and corrupt. Be alarmed.

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services. Call your Dem Senator 202-224-3121

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

The National Weather Service is THE ONLY source of weather data in the US. Every weather app, local broadcaster, and weather forecast map is based on NWS data from NOAA. This is a ridiculously stupid own goal for the US that will disrupt all kinds of social and economic activity, and endanger lives.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

1. Government regulators take action against illegal labor practices in a corporation. 2. Aggrieved corporate leader uses money and influence to gain control of state regulators. 3. Leader uses state power to take retribution against the regulator. This is how authoritarian regimes to operate.

Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.
