Are your Toastmasters international speeches a trauma parade?
I went to a district conference where nearly all the speeches were some terrible life experience - crashes, abuse, health infirmities, job loss - with trite platitudes
It was hard to hear and I wondered if that's what the judges want

Why is @stephruhle.bsky.social repeating lies about government without actually presenting facts!?!
There are more GIRLS playing High School sports than federal workers
Fewer than 3 million civilian workers - not counting military/USPS
And way too few federal workers now
Don't repeat lies MSNBC

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

Short-term pain for long-term pain. The Federal Reserve's FOMC just revised down growth projections.
They now thinks we will be 0.7% poorer in 2027 than they thought in December; only difference being that everyone is realizing what Donald Trump is actually doing to the economy.

FBI investigated complaints that Bobby Knight groped women at U.S. spy agency
Four employees accused the ex-coach of touching them inappropriately. In the end, no charges were filed.

When I challenged his hagiography about Bobby Knight noting the 2017 groping of women at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, JF harshly criticized me on twitter and then blocked me

Donald Trump was notorious for not paying his contractors - so many plumbers, roofers, construction companies have lost millions to his fraud
Many federal contracts are reimbursement which will leave farmers, local governments, nonprofits, educational institutions with big debts

Trumpβs βValentineβs Day Massacreβ hits Nevada
The Las Vegas Review-Journal has learned that five rangers at Great Basin National Park were laid off as a result of the Trump administrationβs federal spending reviews.
Was hoping to visit Great Basin National Park but Trump/Musk/Vance fired 20% of their staff while also cutting education, health care, transportation and other federal investment in White Pine County in Nevada so will choose to vacation somewhere less remote

JD Vance is an embarrassment to the people of Ohio and the USA.
Trump is a Putin puppet.
A small grasping bully.
Ukrainians are courageous and brave and Russians are living under the brutal murderous thief
How many Russians will die for Putin's hegemonic goals?
800,000? 1 million?

There are more GIRLS playing High School sports than civilian federal employees
About 3 million federal employees compared to 3.4 million girls playing sports in High School
Glad to have both but let's not think that a nation of 330 million people need dramatically fewer federal staff

USAspending.gov
USASpending.gov gives a good overview of federal funds - grants, contracts, payments, coming in to your community
Search by zip code, agency, date, etc.
Expect Trump/Musk coup and Republicans to eliminate big chunks of these investments

Which states get more federal money than they send
Only 13 U.S. states send more money to the federal government than they receive.
Most states receive more from the federal government than they send per capita, including Ohio
Expect your state and local taxes to go up, along with higher costs for shoes, lumber, wood, toys, etc. thanks to tariffs and more junk fees cuz no CFPB

Thanks for making this excellent flyer!
We can copy these flyers and post them - in libraries, bus stops, laundromats - and go door to door talking with people.
This flyer is a gift to help us educate and organize and stop Trump!
Charis - I really appreciate you doing this!

Republicans Love Trumpβs Spending Cuts. Just Not in Their States.
Even as they praise the presidentβs unilateral actions to slash federal spending, G.O.P. lawmakers have quietly moved to seek carve outs or exemptions for their own constituents.
Ohio Senators John Husted and Bernie Moreno have no concerns about Trump's devastating cuts to research at the Ohio State University, other Ohio universities or Ohio farmers
But will allow the unhinged RFK to run HHS and the traitorous Tulsi Gabbard to DNI

Have you seen any examples of flyers that people are using to educate tenants about the Trump/GOP housing cuts, the elimination of the Housing Trust Fund, term limits, work requirements?
Are there flyers that people can use to warn affordable housing tenants that massive funding cuts are coming?

Delete the CFPB? Be Careful What You Wish For
Written by David Silberman
The demise of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would lead to a regulatory vacuum β one that would favor large depository institutions and non-depository financial institutions over community banks and credit unions.
