Nothing wrong with showing up at their local office in person with a crowd. Ive done that before

Calling Congress tends to result in a report from staff about constituent sentiment. It’s a meaningful thing which can sometimes shift things on the margin — it’s rarely enough on its own.

Hes not your enemy. If you’re a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.

He’s 78 years old. Decent chance hes in poor health. This is an opportunity to try and make a difference that he might not be able to make if he stays in office until he dies

I think a lot of people would be happy to return food to Trump after they’re done digesting it.

Sure, day 1 is ICE, but any meaningful success in attacking them will be followed by a military deployment

Main problem is that its very ineffective when the army is better trained and equipped than you are

No, its about being unwilling to build electric transmission to bring wind and solar power into NYC. This would avoid the need for gas-burning power plants to handle increased peak electric use as home heating shifts to heat pumps

Part of the plan was also offshore wind near NYC, but Trump blocked that for now

This post claims to have an educated guess:

In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn’t, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court’s (forthcoming) review—and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have. In other words, it’s a compromise—one with which not everyone will agree

I’m thinking she may also have timed things in a way that results in Democratic-run states, which largely attempted to rush money into peoples’ debit cards after the appeals court ruling, having a month of SNAP, while Republican-runs states, which did not, having some very hungry people.

A whole bunch of Democratic-leaning states made an attempt to load peoples debit cards between the appeals decision and the Supreme Court stay. I have no idea to what extent they succeeded. If they did, we may end up with a month of Democratic areas being less hungry than Republican-majority ones

This post is an educated guess, but it sounds like she figured that if she didn’t, the Republicans on the court would, and by granting the stay, she could keep it short

They have now issued a temporary block on requiring that people be fed, which means that folks will go hungry

He actually read one book: an anthology of Hitler’s speeches

Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, “Heil Hitler,” possibly as a family joke.

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

Billionaire Burgers. Now with actual billionaire meat!

Its all excuses for what he wanted to do to begin with, which is take food out of the mouths of kids so that billionaires can become trillionaires

Not sure, but several fast-moving Democratic states managed to get money to people before the appeal was filed

Better ad targeting does make ads more valuable…but because only Google and Facebook have the visibility and ML to do it effectively, they wound up with all the ad revenue. Everybody else ended up with a few pennies

Because as a society, trillion-dollar pay packages for billionaires are more important

I’m a bit sympathetic to them — they do need to get paid to keep operating, and ads don’t cover the cost of providing news anymore
