  1. If Republicans will not hold townhalls, Democrats with media in tow absolutely should hold them. This could be an especially effective tactic in Republican strongholds. I would hope the Democrats realize the value in these is not getting Democrats to talk rather Republican voters to air grievances together and organize efforts accordingly.
  2. We have some exclusions as well, who will continue to be excluded "for now". The largest population that loses is working mothers. That is the only population that stands out as affected when these wfh policies get rescinded. Caring for elderly parents is another population that takes a hit here, but not near as statistically significant as working mothers. Fragile white male leadership still scared of the female boogie man.
  3. Yes, that headline is real...we are in total control. We will look for fraud, waste and abuse. But, it will not be our fault. Ignore Operation Lone Star. That is exempt. Ignore the busing migrants program. Ignore trips to South Korea. Ignore the $350k+ State agency salaries of Abbott's former office buddies.
  4. We don't even have half the space required to accommodate our department. And, TFC knows damn well the situation across the State. They constantly have minions walking the buildings counting people. Performative bullshit.
  5. Apologies if addressed already, but ending the "de minimis" exemptions may actually be a good thing or not? I heard it to be a loophole quite often exploited.
  6. Just needs deficit spending to go into the grinding too because the cuts to those programs aren't near enough to cover that tax cut. Also, blanket calling the plan a tax cut is quite an injustice, shown here and repeated by the news organizations, given it is actually a tax increase for 95% of Americans.
  7. Maybe, or create so much anger and unrest he can justify a martial law declaration
  8. This is the only direction it would have gone, short of Ukraine agreeing to become the 51st State. There is a reason Russian State tv was there. That was all a show for Russia but Trump, et all bungled it. They looked like idiots instead of successfully bating Zelensky.
  9. ffffuuuuucccckkkkk..that hits
  10. Nailed it. Simple math, you want about a .01 (unvaccinated measles) chance of a severe reaction that may or may not lead to death or about a 0.000001 (vaccination reaction) chance of a severe reaction that may or may not lead to death? Even that .000001 is really not an uncommon metric for the occurrence of everyday life and allergic reactions. Many people find out they are allergic to something only after taking it....
  11. https://therecord.media/hegseth-orders-cyber-command-stand-down-russia-planning I'm sure Russia is standing down as well...
  12. https://gerrymander.princeton.edu/?hl=en-US There are multiple scoring methodologies for judging gerrymandered districts that are much better than biased "funny shaped" judgements. There are some minor issues in California but none touch the Southern states for blatant gerrymandering.
  13. They are hitting Brownsville ERs too, asking for identification while grandma is trying to get seen for high blood pressure.
  14. Insight into why that base was likely targeted too....
  15. what's the backstory here? Funding pulled = research incomplete in last semester = denied doctorate? Terrible news either. Very sorry. Young people are taking it on the chin in every way possible.
  16. This dumbass gets pantsed on his own Twitter site routinely..
  17. The NCAA stated less than 10 of 530,000 in college sports, 0.00188679245% . We as citizens can agree or disagree with that number, we don't need the government deciding it for us. Sports in not that serious, for one. We certainly don't need the government to run on that as issue. We don't need them using it to try and start a civil war. We do not need the government to push the unethical treatment of American citizens and setting them at increased risk of hate crimes with innuendo. One has to remember, you may not be targeted now. But, if you allow it now, you might be next. Republicans continue to operate under the conceited assumption the shoe will never be on the other foot.
  18. Seeing more and more of these posts..just cruel the hatred spewed towards good people Of course, we know this is the intent. Voter apathy got Trump elected and now he seeks to crush the spirit before he truly pulls the rug out from under democracy.
  19. Oh, Matt..poor little fellah, ignorance doesn't look good on you .
  20. If he is successful, I think we all should rip out every ramp and rail at the mansion and his office.
  21. This despicable fuck finally told the truth
  22. https://www.forbes.com/sites/petergreene/2025/02/13/17-states-sue-to-end-protections-for-students-with-special-needs/ Hotwheels thinks 504 should go away.
  23. My 401k went up!
  24. You don't put Pete on for Trumpers. You put him on for the people who keep listening to them thinking "Trump won't do anything he says". This claims they are in... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/doge-affiliated-employee-accessed-irs-system-sensitive-taxpayer-inform-rcna192423?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=67b2a2bfc9239b0001201eb9&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
