Democrats are literally doing everything they can to stop Trump or throw wrenches into his madness to slow down
Slowing down/blocking as much as possible is key right now, because part of what Trump-Musk and the GOP are doing is moving fast and breaking stuff and hoping that a) momentum will continue to carry them forward and b) people won’t react in time to prevent them from being entrenched.
Injunctions, lawsuits, restraining orders, filibusters, protests – these all take time, energy, and resources to focus on and respond to, and that means they can’t press ahead as much as they’d like. It means more time to have people realize the consequences and how horrible this is, and more time and opportunity to continue shifting public opinion.
And, because of the overconfidence and inexperience (among other things) of those forces now in power, they’re not great at responding and handling these things. The sloppiness and laziness is what helped hobble a lot of things in the first administration, and it’s not gone away, for better or worse.
I can’t emphasize enough that when a Senator or Congressman sends a letter to a Federal agency demanding answers, the Federal agency has to give them answers.
All federal agencies have an Office of Legislative Affairs specifically to deal with congressional requests, or “Congressionals.”
If a member of Congress says “under what law are you doing this??” and you don’t have a good answer, you change what you’re doing.
If you want something to ask of your congressman or senator – ask them to write a letter to the agency of your pick demanding answers about the issue of your choice!!
A beaver colony in the Brdy region has gained overnight fame by building several dams in the Brdy protected landscape area, creating a natural wetland exactly where it was needed. It saved the local authorities 30 million crowns, and has the public cracking jokes about public administration and red tape.
The administration of the Brdy protected landscape area, which had gained approval for the 30 million crown project, was dealing with red tape and seeking the respective building permits from the Vltava River Basin authorities when the dam project was completed almost overnight by a local colony of beavers.
They could not have chosen their location better –erecting the dams on a bypass gully that was built by soldiers in the former military base years ago, so as to drain the area. The revitalization project drafted by environmentalists was supposed to remedy this. Bohumil Fišer, head of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area Administration says Nature took its course and the beavers created the necessary biotope conditions practically overnight.
Technically they’re using it for bandages. For now.
Quote from the article
The resulting “nanopasta” can then be spun into a tiny mat about 2 centimetres across. While it isn’t intended as food, Clancy says that it should be safe to eat, but is reticent to talk about having tried it. “It’s an ethical quandary to talk about scientific self-experimentation,” he says. “But, hypothetically, one might expect it to be chewier than you’d expect.”
if you can’t handle richard siken at his “i also want to get bruce wayne pregnant” you don’t deserve him at his “everyone longs for a father figure. even those with fathers. even fathers. that’s why we invented god.”
