Today's Text

                                                                       


 

As the president and Elon Musk continue to hollow out our government, including the DOD, Putin must be congratulating himself on installing this useful idiot in the Oval Office. What are you doing to push back against this undermining of our country?

That's the text of yesterday's call/email to my congressmen. Musk's email to 2.3 million federal workers demanding they  document their actions the previous week or face firing has engendered mass confusion. What if said actions are classified? Who (or what) will be evaluating all 2.3 million replies? 

The DOGE team has gotten so many things wrong, yet they careen ahead, an indiscriminate wrecking ball aimed at the heart of our government. 

What better time for our enemies to take advantage of the disarray our government is in? 

With a singularly incompetent man in the Oval Office, a man who chooses a Secretary of Defense because he looks the part ("right out of Central Casting,") a man who has given/sold unprecedented power to Elon Musk, a man who admires and excuses Putin, our country is in grave danger.

And all I can do is make those calls, send those emails.

You are doing what you can, but I think it is time for millions to hit the streets.

Though I support our local businesses, and personally know them and their struggles, I'm among those who will boycott all purchases on Feb. 28. My miniscule amount may not be much, but I do hope all together there is a fiscal notice.

We must never fall silent. "Seniors" vote at a greater percentage than any other age group, and we must remind the people in DC of that. We have power!
