This is civic cancer right here.

The MO and subtext is officials will report decisions, but no venue exists for accountability — not legislative committees, not press events, not one-on-one media interviews, and soon enough not even the ballot. Courts are increasingly spotty on this count, too.

I mean, it’s growth, I suppose.

Just sucks that THIS path to personal growth is similar to millions others and community growth paid the price.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Thank you, Congresswoman Ansari!

As a constituent of AZ-03, I am very pleased that our district’s representative in U.S. Congress is upholding her oath to the U.S. constitution and abiding by our agreement to reserve the power to declare war to the people.

A thread running through:

* ICE secret police ops
* kidnapping Maduro
* blowing up boats in Caribbean
* Epstein coverup
* Bezos’ thumbscrew on WaPo
* ABC & CBS censorship
* polymarket bets
* and now war on Iran

is a CIVIC CANCER that rules are for suckers and don’t apply to those in charge.

Trump tells on himself so hard every time.

His request to re-do a decision by SCOTUS, the branch of government our constitution empowers to have the FINAL say in disputes about laws, is pathological.

He truly believes that rules are optional, rules are for suckers, & rules DO NOT apply to him.

Correct. The GOP is singularly focused on implementing their policy agenda, the signals from the market place of ideas be damned.

Smells desperate. Fear that the market place is already signaling low appetite for their ideas, they seek strategies to shoehorn their policies beyond the midterms.

I like this observation because it grounds hope in facts.

This appeals to me because it positions hope as an adversarial tool that agrees to use what we have to build, sustain, & maintain civic infrastructure.

A big tell about the Trump + Epstein files is that zero libel suits have been filed about the content.

Paused from daily routine to reflect on current events and I gotta say…

I am sad and angry that the news and slow drip of evidence that our POTUS is a child molester has not brought the entire country to a screeching halt.

What are we even doing right now?

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Whether you see it or not, the first thing every person should say in every convo about the SOTU, and every elected should say in every presser is, “Yeah, I heard [missed] the SOTU, and the only question on every American’s mind is how long has Trump been a pedophile?”
