Freshman Congressman tells constituent he is powerless to stop Musk's budget cuts
popular.info/p/freshman-congre

"Begich said he was "not in a position to approve or deny the cuts."

It was a remarkable statement from the freshman #Congressman, sworn into office in January. The #Constitution vests the "power of the purse" with #Congress — not an unelected billionaire appointed to a position in the executive branch."

Judge Who Ordered Pages Restored Put On Impeachment List

A Republican U.S. congressman announced Monday he has introduced articles of impeachment against a Washington, D.C., federal judge, following the judge's ruling ordering public health agencies temporarily to restore the web pages they took down in response to a Trump administration order to scrub pages of "gender ideology."

The #JFK #Library in #Boston closed abruptly today due to one of Trump's executive orders involving a reduction in force. Multiple library employees were laid off today as part of the EO.

When asked about the closure, former #congressman Joe Kennedy III stated:

"Folks when we start shutting down libraries in the name of government efficiency, we have got a problem."

Thank you #Congressman #AlGreen:

"#Texas representative filing #impeachment articles against #Trump over #Gaza plan

Al Green, a #Democrat, says Trump proposal to ‘take over Gaza’ is a ‘dastardly deed’ amounting to #ethniccleansing"

theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f

It's somewhat fruitless with the current party split in the House (always vote people, every little bit helps) but the real problem would be saying nothing

You fight

You always fight

Forever

You never give in

Al Green gets it

If you don't like the fact that #Musk is getting full access to #Federal #private information, then the fight isn't over.

While #Trump did get #elected, you can still put pressure on your #Congressman. They're up for #reelection sooner than Trump is. Reach out to them and keep expressing your disappointment with what's going on.

You can #email them or #call them. Make your #voices heard. Don't spot the #fight because we lost a #battle.

A cheap, non-obvious, D.C.-adjacency-required way to get a quality American flag

The American flag we’d bought in the summer of 2021 had faded and then developed a tear at one corner, so it was time to buy a replacement. That’s been a task that’s come due every three to four years over our two decades and counting of home ownership–the Stars and Stripes are not forever when subjected to mid-Atlantic weather–but this time I wanted to research my options instead of throwing still more money at Amazon.

At some point, probably in the middle of work-related clicking around, that shopping research led me to my congressman’s Web site. Rep. Don Beyer (D.-Va.), like other members of Congress, has a flag-request form that I’d thought of only as a way to buy a flag flown over the Capitol. But on actually eyeballing that form, I realized that I could buy an unflown, 3-by-5-foot cotton flag for just $15… at a mandatory shipping cost of $10.75.

Paying that much for shipping bothered me when I can get to and from the Capitol for $6 and change via Metro, less if I use Capital Bikeshare on the way there. Fortunately, the legislative branch of the U.S. has two houses, so I checked the site of Sen. Tim Kaine (D.-Va.) and saw that I could buy the same flag at the same $15 price and pick it up for free. Sold!

(Sen. Mark Warner, D.-Va., also offers free flag pickup; I’m not aware of complaints about Rep. Beyer’s constituent service, so maybe this is a site-template issue on the House side?)

Three business days later, I got an e-mail from a staff assistant for Sen. Kaine saying the flag was ready for pickup at his office in the Russell Senate Office Building. I stopped by Tuesday evening on the way to an event in Navy Yard, appreciating the Russell Building’s handsome Beaux-Arts architecture, then attached our reasonably-priced purchase to the flagpole on our front porch Wednesday morning.

Sometime that afternoon or evening, a gust of wind put enough strain to crack a plastic bracket on one of the flagpole rings that had helped secure the flag, leaving it clumsily draped over the shrubbery below the pole. I am fixing that problem by ordering two new rings–which means I’m throwing still more money at Amazon.
