I also have written about the many things you should insist be included in any spending bill prior to lending your support. It is a list of bipartisan legislation that would protect our constitutional system of separated powers. More than this is necessary, but it would buy us time.
I have written about why this dirty full-year CR would transfer congressional power to the White House and further empower Trump to dismantle what's left of our federal government, including the Defense Department (which you value so highly). A wrong vote now makes your future votes irrelevant.
“Somebody has to stay to help clean up the mess that they’re most likely going to make,” a public health advisor on infectious diseases at the CDC said. “If you want to get rid of me, you’re basically going to drag me kicking and screaming out of here.”
MOSCOW (AP) - A senior Kremlin official says that a U.S.-proposed ceasefire would help Ukraine's military.
"Dr. Lionel Adams, B.A. of Yale, Ph.D. of Chicago, Negro, had been a journalist, American consul in Africa and, at the time of Berzelius Windrip's election, professor of anthropology in Howard University. As with all his colleagues, his professorship was taken over by a most worthy and need white man, whose training in anthropology had been as a photographer on one expedition to the Yucatan." - from chapter 32 of Sinclair Lewis's book "It Can't Happen Here," originally published in 1935
It's worth making people aware that's what's happening is from a very old and very recognizable playbook. This is a screenshot from It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis in 1935—I realize many were talking about this book eight years ago too but it, as they say, hits different now. Almost done!

“More than a decade before Russia’s armed forces poured over the border into Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin stood before world leaders and delivered a long, icy speech demanding a radical overhaul of the world order.”

Had enough.
In 2016, I worried that the US would soon be destroyed. So for the next eight years, I took my kids everywhere I could so they'd know their country firsthand. We drove in every direction to see things from all sides.

Trump: "Tomorrow, tariffs -- 25 percent on Canada and 25 percent on Mexico. And that'll start."
“.. Witness Trump’s bizarre pattern of threatening small countries and allies instead of adversaries — nations from Canada to Denmark and Panama. Whereas the US used to attract other countries by promising to enhance their safety and freedom, it now repels them.”

Can anyone think of a foreign enemy who could do more damage to America than Trump? Decimating agencies, military, siding with a terrorist state, threatening to invade US allies, stripping services from vets, ceding US power to Russia and China.
I'm looking to see if the cuts & chaos at CDC and NIH have affected any clinical trials or research for drugs for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other serious diseases. If you know anything, please contact me at DavidCorn.99 at Signal.
Or if you have any other good stories.
