We need knowledgeable experienced leaders in Health and Human Services. We also need vaccines for the new variation of COVID.

It is beginning to look like that my crop insurance for 2024 for a cotton crop that didn't make may not be paid ever. Farmers are being screwed and the House budget bill will likely make it worse. Family farms are in serious trouble.

@markgreenny.bsky.social launched exactly this in Trump’s first term, making me his Shadow AG. Now @timothysnyder@bsky.social is recycling the idea. Whatever its source, it’s worth trying!

Trump Tries to Fire FEC Chair The president's move to fire Ellen L. Weintraub comes as the FEC is set to rule on 2024 election complaints involving the Trump campaign and Elon Musk's super PAC.

"To say that the president can remove FEC commissioners for any reason is unprecedented, and in my view highly dangerous.” - Brennan Center's @danw329.bsky.social. readsludge.com/2025/02/07/t...

Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Trump and Musk are usurping the role of congress. Probably they need to fire Mike Johnson before the US House can sue to stop Trump and Musk.

If each Treasury payee is a separate record, and there are, say, 68,000,000 social security payees (as is estimated), then at $5000 per violation, it seems like Elon could be penalized $340 billion if he unlawfully accessed their Treasury records...

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to...

-Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts

-Replace civil servants with his own cronies

-Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems

See the problem?

The evidence continues. Trump doesn't support healthcare in any form. All of the appointments to health related positions in HHS are unqualified to deal with the nation's health. The CDC has been told to stop sharing information about health issues with doctors and hospitals including bird flu.

Tell your senators to vote NO on RFK Jr.

The HHS protects our lives with programs that depend on scientific research and proven health solutions. RFK Jr. can't be trusted to lead an agency so vital to our health and safety. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/MKEujy68

Tell your GOP senator to oppose Trump's pick for FBI director

Kash Patel is so extreme that Trump's handpicked attorney general blocked his appointment to a top FBI position. Now, Trump wants to put Patel in charge of the FBI. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/wFN8S5TL

In KY the legislature is more interested in cutting taxes than funding our schools adequately.

The American people have no idea how deporting emigrants will affect them personally. The first shock will be that we cannot hire people to do work around our homes. Sure your handyman or house cleaning may not be undocumented but there will be fewer people doing that work that are documented.

The American Action Forum (AAF) is a right-of-center think tank that promotes Republican-aligned public policy priorities. But still useful information

CR First Draft Tough on CCP - AAF Short-term Deadlines, Long-term Consequences What’s Happening: The deadline for Congress to finalize a short-term funding bill to avoid a government shutdown is tomorrow, December 20. The text of the ...

Finally I saw a hint of why Musk wanted the budget bill to fail. Newsweek reported "Provisions aimed at limiting American investments in certain Chinese industries were scrapped from a temporary spending bill negotiated to avert a government shutdown." www.americanactionforum.org/shipment/cr-...

Schools suck because states do not adequately fund them. Good quality education costs money. All children in this country deserve an opportunity for a good education.

If Trump deports all the immigrants, who is going to do all the jobs they were doing? Childcare, eldercare, commercial cleaning, lawn care, drywall, carpentry, handyman services? The list is long. We already have a problem hiring enough people for those services.

Fair nuff!
