This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.

‘One of the darkest days’: NIH purges agency leadership amid mass layoffs In shock move, four institute directors at the US biomedical agency are removed from their posts.

We cannot control what happens around us, but we can control our reaction to it. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

When you cook bacon and the house still smells like bacon but there’s no more bacon 🫤

Sorry, we broke money. It doesn’t work anymore. The green rectangles, the metal
