Anyone one else get the survey call from

The CDC? Regarding Vaccination for Covid, and others for adults, teens and children?
It said they are calling random numbers
I got one and shortly later another one
That was mostly blank but then started to give his name before it was cut off.
The number matches the cdc in Georgia but I also know numbers can be spoofed.

Any how I did see by internet search that others had received this call for months even before T took over.
For me I’m not about to do their survey no matter how they want it done.
Just wondering / curious if others got the calls and what they did ?

Is there a way the Senate can

Go to the courts before a vote to put a stop gap on the CR saying the house passed a bill that goes against the constitution by giving away congresses power if deciding the money. Plus the CR is more than a funding bill therefor also illegal
And ask the judge to say funding can continue as is current for 30-60 days?
While the issue of the CR is legal to pass to the Senate?


I know nothing about how all this works so it’s pure “thinking is it possible thoughts”

I remembered this little saying this morning

And thought that’s a trump supporter
Believing a lie is true even tho so many facts are there to show you it’s not.
( a quick search this am shows there are several other - longer versions of this - but this short easy one is the one I recall)


One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
They turned their backs and faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot the other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise.
He came and shot the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man. He saw it too.

Anybody by chance have a breakdown or know where I can find it

The numbers for those that were fired from the forest service in Washington state for each region or section such as the Wenatchee Okanagan the Olympic Mount Baker Snoquslmie
So far I’ve inly been able to find other than the number overall has been Montana said 340 people in Missoula area
And I don’t know if that included hot shots, smoke jumpers, etc. that would be nice to know for our area

Knotreal breaking news

In a scrambled speech to his many “paid to listen and report whatever he tells them to” news agencies
T said he had to break it to the public but he could not lower egg prices he said he poached the subject with as many chickens as he could
but not one was willing to roll on the subject T even tried to hardboil the subject but alas in the end T said he was fried.
T spoke for about 3 mins on the subject

Anyone done their taxes either

By E-file with a tax preparer
or on their own
Or any other way ( paper and mailed etc)

Wondering how it went
The plan for me is Sat with the lady that does my taxes and she files them electronically
We have a basic file

Just wondering if others if they did them
If they had run into any issues
Compared to last year for example
Inputting info, maybe even getting your refund back or not, paying if you owe etc

Found on bluesky wash state trying to change mail in voting

The Washington GOP introduced HB 1584, which would end vote-by-mail in WA. This would make voting less accessible for millions of Washingtonians, including seniors, rural voters, and those with disabilities, and less convenient for busy voters.
Speak out against this NOW:
app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1584
Washington State Legislature - Public Bill Comments


Hopefully the copy paste works
For link to speak out and let them know
Also trying to post link to the post on bluesky

My spouse keeps listening to

Either a FB or TikTok video of th evil T
Saying he’s going to get rid our is being taxed on
Tips
SS
Overtime
And don’t recall the rest because I tune it out
My theory
I say he will get rid of over time
( he has already said he hated paying it ) so my guess is he will increase the hours you work - so companies don’t have to pay over time this eliminating the need to pay tax on it.

Tips outlaw tipping ( I doubt he ever tipped unless he thought it would lead to something) thus we wouldn’t be getting that tax break
If he gets rid of SS we wouldn’t be paying tax on it

Anyone else have thoughts or ideas on this or the rest of the video I didn’t listen to?
( sorry can’t take his voice plus I have a short memeory if I don’t write things down right then)
