You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.

The time to organize is now.

The US economy will lose out because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Multi-billion-dollar industries like soybean production and research in Illinois have now been effectively cut off thanks to those who know nothing about agriculture.
Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
it was bad when the worst poster on my favorite website bought that website and made it terrible but it has been worse having that person also buy my country that i live in

I think the drop Biden movement has revealed there are a number of overly credulous amongst the liberal set…
Rule of law is severely underrated. You’ve lived with it for so long you take it for granted.
It’s partially gone already, and if it fully goes—if a criminal and putschist gains executive power with the blessing of corrupt judges—you will seriously miss it.
