If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Please do not respond to my calls for action with asking me why it’s important to call whether your member of Congress will agree with you or not. That’s NOT the reason that we call. The reason that we call is to make our voice HEARD and that matters whether you live in a blue, red, purple district.

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans. A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer. Duh

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress? Asking for a nation.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them. We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it? Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.

Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them. Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door
You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights.
Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo
Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente.
Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias.
Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país.
Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos.
Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado.
Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta
No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos.
Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno).
Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta).
Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta.
Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio.
Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.

Widespread destruction from the L.A. fires was inevitable, given the drought and winds. Still, the region could have been better prepared.

I send my tax dollars in good faith every year. In return, I expect the government to use those funds on behalf of we the people. I don’t believe using those funds as a political cudgel was part of the deal, nor did I consent to giving oversight to an unelected gazillionaire.
