Democratic House Rep. Jason Crow: "If you don’t have the courage to stand up and fight for the people you represent—you don’t belong in office." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Illegal attempts to access IRS data was an article of impeachment against Nixon.

Nothing to see here—just a sitting U.S. president pumping his shitcoin, after countless Americans have already lost billions investing in it. The most corrupt president in history, by far

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once: Congress must immediately act. That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

Elon Musk asked for the FAA Administrator's resignation. American's got it.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

I’m excited to re-open to queries again!! Below is my MSWL at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ca... ! Looking forward to reading your stories🥳

Kickstarting 2025 with this energy

Word of the day is most definitely ‘hurkle-durkling’ (19th-century Scots): to linger in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Holy fog-a-roni, another gloomy, fog-filled day in MN. I’ve never even SEEN this weather icon before.

I just finished The Women by Kristin Hannah and LOVED it! Highly recommend. #books

Peanut Butter Balls- light and crunchy. Just tried this recipe from a friend and 3 people asked for it. Bad for the waistline. Good for happiness quotient.

Calling all writers! If you want to end the year with optimism, illumination and inspiration, consider joining my free program, The 12 Days of Christmas for Writers. We start on Jan. 26! #amwriting #writingcommunity #kidlit juliehedlund.com/12days.

#KidLitTip #1. Everyone says middle grade novels aren't selling these days, but who cares? Editors are still buying them, + tons are working. Think about the great mid grade writers--Horvath, O'Connor, Medina, Yee, Applegate. In 2 years Mid grade will be hot again. It's cyclical. Just keep writing.
