As a non fed employee, I sent them this email:

Please review the list of tasks completed this week to comply with the dictator’s commands:

1. Completed vet check for my cat that’s had explosive diarrhea.

2. Called KFC to complain about the raw chicken that was served to me.

3. Maintained compliance with food to waste ratio.

4. Updated dietary guidelines for my toddler per his request.

5. Interpreted babble to the community to meet my toddler’s needs.

If your lordship requires anything else, please hesitate to reach out.

Word is it was the group "Anonymous" who posted the wonderful video. It is on TimTok.

She was removed because she yelled out of turn about how an Idaho official stole lumber off public land to build his home. The world's smallest men in the cult MAGA cheered Norris and his hired cronies on. The officials at the meeting later claimed they didn't know who hired the security. Even Norris who hired them somehow had amnesia about who they were.

She is well known in the area because she's a Democrat who has run for office in Idaho.

So the Clinton era agreement to defend Ukraine for giving up their nukes is scrapped… why should any country trust America or their agreements now?

Abandoned Russia, or abandoned Ukraine? Just want to confirm since it looks like the US is siding with Russia :/

We, IRS, were told it came down from Treasury that we had to comply. I am checking where I stand financially to retire.

We all saw it coming but somehow you cannot emotionally prepare yourself for the reality. It is insane and completely nauseating. And most of us are still running around like chickens without heads trying to figure out what we can do.

I feel like someone died, or we’ve been plunged into war. It’s extremely disconcerting. I was definitely unprepared for the depth of the madness and I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around it. At the same time, I have a horror of normalizing the unacceptable.

You are not alone. And I think — how can anyone approve of this?! God am I naive.

"While the judge declined to immediately reinstate AP's access, he urged the government to reconsider its ban, noting that legal precedents generally do not support such actions"

Perhaps he should consult with members of the branch of government that interprets laws and makes judgements on what is legal? Perhaps they could make a judgement on the fact that legal precedents support the AP. Oh, wait...

Sounds like the judge does not have the courage of his convictions. Shameful.

I don't understand how he could do that to Ukraine. However, I'm not surprised. He doesn't seem to view Ukraine as a country. Much like he doesn't respect Canada as a country.

Ukraine/Zelensky is why he was impeached. Trump is the most revengeful man I have ever seen. He also wants to invade Greenland and needs to support Putin for invading Ukraine.

Not just Greenland. I’m Canadian, we are apparently no longer a country either.

fyi something else really bad- they fired the JAG lawyers who council on what is lawful LIKE as in if the military can be used on its own citizens. Think back to when trump wanted that for blm protests. If there are large protests (hoping so) that means military might be in the picture.

Lots to try to digest here! Thank you, Aaron. Does anyone know when the border czar is planning on “bringing hell to Boston?” Asking as a concerned MA resident.

I hope you will continue to follow the fate of the Idaho woman forcibly removed from the town hall by private security. Don’t we have free speech any longer?
