tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Do you know if this is an item? (Heavy edit) Credit to: Tony Pentimalli On January 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order giving the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security 90 days to deliver a joint report on whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act. That deadline is April 20. 020

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 03/04/2025They better add that an hour is defined by the atomic clock standard and the day by sunrises, and Congress can not vote to change that. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 22/03/2025The obvious solution is send all their "DEI" hires for all the pro bono work. And it doesn't say they have to be the best people... or fully licensed lawyers... or even lawyers. 010
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Reminds me of a story- a famous actor was interviewed and asked about his success, and he replied "All these houses and cars and money, and what good is it all when my mother is living in an unheated apartment in a third floor walkup in the Bronx?" 000

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Senate Democrats: 213 of your fellow Democrats in the House stood up to the Republicans' attempt to enable a monarchy. Do NOT play "Follow the Leader" in the Senate! Vote AGAINST cloture and let Republicans explain why they didn't work with Democrats on a compromise. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025The Senate should not vote for cloture. House Democrats should return to Washington and announce they are ready to negotiate and ask the Republicans to join them to find a common ground to stop the shutdown. And if they do not return, and are not holding town halls, call them out daily or more. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025IRS: "We have concluded all audits of Trump's tax returns, and as he stated he would release them if they were not being audited, we have sent copies of the last 10 years of his returns to all major news outlets for distribution." 1150
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I just called one of my senators, sent an email to the other, and wrote to Schumer asking him to reconsider his decision. You know the Kennedy Center chairman will be crowing loud and long about his victory and the willingness of the Democrats roll over and play dead. 040
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Done, and I wrote to Schumer as well urging him to reconsider his (basically) capitulation. He will make our country a one-party system- the Trump party. 050
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025The takeaway I got from the interview is that it is better to cave before an autocrat and bully who is destroying people's lives because standing firm may destroy people's lives. Of course there is an off ramp- true bipartisan negotiations, and keep pushing that- the Rs are not coming to the table. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Write and call your Senator and tell them to ignore Schumer, then write to Schumer as well as the minority leader of the Senate urging him to reconsider helping the Republicans. 000

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 12/03/2025I think Canada and the EU would help find out, but would not tell us how they did find out. And *maybe* they would help eliminate Bin Laden et. al. since it eventually helps their own security. But they sure would not let the Americans lead anything, or clue them in in advance. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 12/03/2025If I hear one more "pundit" call Social Security entitlement, I want them to give up claims to their "entitlement" now and have the money sent to a cancer research charity of their choice that they are not affiliated with. And have their employer do the same. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 11/03/2025...And if they do pass something, we all know that the Bobsey Twins will ignore any designation on how the money is spent and either not spend it or use it on another 10 or 12 golfing holidays for the Kennedy Center chairman and another four or five Madame President Musk Roman candles. 010
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Let's face it- if Congress does not pass something by Friday, the government will shut down... unless Kennedy Center chairman and Madame President Musk does it first. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Doesn't seem to be correct- his son Howard's charity group gave about that amount in 2024 it seems (maybe 2022 with more in 2024), and most of the money in that group came from his father, but it does appear that Warren, himself, gave $500 million. The money was designated for humanitarian aid. 000

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Is there any chance that during the Congressional break people can march around their representatives' offices 24 hours a day for the duration? Keep reminding them of what their job is? Don't block people, don't harass people, just make them know you are there and watching. 010
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 07/03/2025X If the DOGE "code hackers / experts" are so good, why doesn't Madame President Musk have them working on software so his Cyberdunks won't serve into traffic or catch fire 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 06/03/2025If any fired government worker wants to go back into the building, just walk up to security and say "I was fired yesterday, but they want to unfire me today." Chances are it will work because (a) they don't know and (b) it is probably true. 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 06/03/2025My personal wish is that Canada says "Thanks for taking off the tariffs. We're keeping ours in place against you. We are stopping our knee-jerk reactions to your jerk reactions and will see if you calm down and learn a lesson. For now, go sit in a corner and think about what you've done." 000
tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I was not impressed by the pilot episode of the new reality game show "No Truths, Just Lies" last night- definitely too long and an overbearing host who should stick to his day job of Kennedy Center chairman. 010

tektektek.bsky.social @tektektek.bsky.social · 04/03/2025I wish newscasters would stop saying this is a change in the US position- it is a change in TRUMP'S position, he does not represent 50% or more of us per the last election (and the two before that). 000
