[loosethreadsofyoursoul]

one of my fav recurring bits in psych is when shawn comes to a Sudden Realization that involves juliet being in danger and he starts racing against the clock so he can rescue her but by the time he gets there she already has the situation Fully Handled. like that girl is not a damsel in distress! she doesn’t need any man to save her! one thing about juliet o’hara is she can save herself and she will look so cool and swag while she does it 🙂‍↕️

Jude Jazza's "The Past Records:" The Tale of A Ruthless, Arrogant Man & A Woman Like the Moon

This is a fan translation only. Not 100% accurate. Please expect grammatical errors and translation inaccuracies. Cybird owns everything. Re-blogs are appreciated, but please do not post my translation elsewhere. Thank you for your support! ☾.

Warning: This story will be about their relationship after the main story. Caution while reading.

It’s not possible for humans to see the other side of the moon.

The moon has almost the same cycle of rotation and revolution,

It’s said, it’s because the same side is constantly facing the earth.

(But)

“Take me to the moon.”

Declared the moon-like woman named Kate, whom became my girlfriend.

She shows every side of herself so openly.

Yeah, all the time.

Kate: Attacking someone from behind on the street at night is despicable!

Kate: They’re the ones who breached the contract by devious means!

Jude: But ya were so pissed, ya pointed yer gun at ‘em ‘n beat over ‘n over.

Kate: W-well, I….felt like I needed to protect you, Jude.

Jude: Yeah, yeah, that’s great. I’ve gotta terrifyin’ girlfriend.

Kate: Did you just call me your girlfriend?

Jude: Huh, maybe yer hearin’ stuff?

Kate: You definitely said it! Say it again please!

— There are times when you get so angry that I want to laugh.

Kate: Hic…I showed an opening and almost got taken out….how pathetic

Jude: C’mon, ya gonna cry, eat or have a pity party?

Kate: …..I’ll eat.

Kate: [Sniffle]…it’s delicious….the food is delicious, Jude.

Kate: Hi-hic….I’m so glad to be alive….!

Jude: Pfft, whadda ugly lookin’ face.

— There are times when you cry so much that I want to smile.

Kate: Liam’s performance was so amazing! Everyone was glued to him.

Jude: Tell it to him, not me.

Jude: He’ll be jumpin’ with joy, but can’t say for sure.

Kate: Yeah! I’ll tell him as soon as I get back to Crown.

— There are times when you’re so happy I want to laugh.

Jude: Yer such a busy woman.

After finishing up work, I had a smoke in my room as I watched Kate.

Kate: I wonder which Mr. Company President, is keeping me so busy?

(That’s not what I’m talkin’ ‘bout. Well, it’s fine.)

Jude: Yer the masochist who wants to be with me even if it means workin’ for Crown ‘n Raven at the same time.

Kate: And once again you’re being blunt. Jude, do you know the phrase “exploitation motivation”?

Kate: Well…it’s true that I want to be with you, so it’s inevitable.

(Ha, ya didn’t even deny bein’ a masochist.)

Just as I stamped out my cigarette in the ashtray, Kate’s gaze met mine.

(What’s with those feverish eyes?)

Kate doesn’t even try to hide her love.

When she wants me, her entire body reveals her craving unconsciously.

Just as I thought, Kate is a woman who shows every side of herself openly.

That’s why —

(Oh, this’s the first I’ve seen this look.)

Her unknown expressions I’ve never seen appear one after the other.

Just as a moon that goes through phases.

Jude: Somethin’ on my face?

Kate frowned at me sharply.

Kate: ….You’re saying that, even though you know perfectly well.

Jude: Ya give me too much credit, how should I know what yer talkin’ ‘bout.

Kate: ……

(Awww, impatient, poor lil thin’)

(But poor lil you’s so cute.)

Kate: If you don’t know what I’m talking about

Kate sat down on the bed next to me,

Kate: Then I’ll tell you

She grabbed me by the collar, and pressed her lips against mine.

(…Yer desperately clingin’ to me, so I’m gonna mercilessly devour ya.)

I whisper as I bite Kate’s neck.

Jude: Hey, let’s play a game….

Kate: …Ngh, ah….a game?

Jude: The one who looks away first loses.

Kate’s eyes flicker and then she smiles.

Kate: That’s sounds interesting, alright. I don’t feel like I’ll lose.

Jude: So ya say. Then, no matter what, don’t look away, got it?

(Ya just hafta keep lookin’ at me.)

(It ain’t funny if there’s an expression of yers I dunno.)

Kate looked away, succumbing to the relentless, pleasurable torture,

And fell asleep most likely from being worn out.

Jude: ….How vulnerable.

As I played with Kate’s messy bangs, I suddenly remembered something.

Each person receives a fixed amount of happiness in their lifetime, it’s equal for everyone.

That’s right, it was written in a book somewhere.

It’s not all good, it’s not all bad, it’s all created equally.

(I won’t say somethin’ stupid like - since I met a woman named Kate, it’s equaled out.)

The past doesn’t disappear.

Grudges, feelings of resentment, this cycle of hatred will continue until I die.

I’m still a person who’s living in the depths of hell.

(But)

Kate squeezes my finger tightly as she sleeps.

Jude: …Pff-ha, whadda ya a baby?

Jude: Just how much does this woman love me?

Maybe now, I’ve finally learned the feeling of happiness.

I savored my first taste of happiness.

Next to a woman like the moon.

NovaFrost and Sun NovaFrost and Sun NovaFrost and Sun-

They have me by a chokehold and I'm EXPLODING AAAAA- [incorrect quotes yet again]

Nova : I don't know how to tell you this, but... I love you.

Frost: That's great, Nova . Especially considering the fact we've been together for over forty years.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: How do you know how to kiss? Like who teaches you?

Nova : Well it’s actually a class, but unfortunately it’s full right now.

Frost : Would you like us to tutor you?

Moon: That was smooth but also *gagging noise*

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Solar: So are you gonna explain how the hell you crashed the car?

Sun: Well I was teaching Nova to drive and there was a deer in the road, so I said "Nova , deer!"

Solar: ...And what did Nova do?

Sun: ...They said "Yes, sunshine?"

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Nova : I was going to suggest we do Marilyn Monroe and JFK roleplay, but I’d get way too into it.

Sun: What- how?

Nova : You’d be like “come to bed … Mr. President” and I’d be like, “I need to increase the amount of American military advisors in South Vietnam by a factor of 18.”

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: The odds of this happening by coincidence are vanishingly small.

Nova : I would say infinitesimally.

Frost: And I'd say teenily-weenily.

Nova, proudly: We all know words.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: Did it hurt when you fell-

Nova : From heaven? Wowie, I didn’t think you were such a flirt-

Sun: No, I meant when you fell down the stairs.

Nova : ...

Sun: You just laid there for 15 minutes.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-

Frost: We wrote you a poem.

Sun, already crying: You did?

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

*the 80s gang playing truth or dare*

Chichi: Ooh, Nova~ Dare you to kiss the next person who comes in here~

Nova: oh, golly- I'm not so sure I could, you know? Besides, it's just a game, really-

Sun, walking in: Hey guys-

Nova: Well, looks like I have to, rules are rules for a reason, can't go breakin' 'em-!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Frost: I would never say that my partners are bitches and I don’t don’t like them. That’s not true… My partners are bitches and I like them so much! :)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Nova : I have met some of the most insufferable people. But they also met me~ heehee~

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: All the sudden I got a random burst of energy, and I think it's my body's last hurrah before it completely shuts down.

Nova+Frost: *anxious boyfriend noises*

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

*in the mindscape*

Nova , gently nudging Frost aside with their foot: Frosty, move out of the way so I don’t trip on you.

Frost, their eyes enormous: You kick Frost? You kick their body like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for Nova ! Jail for Nova for one thousand years!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Frost: Here you go, Sun, a nice hot cup of coffee!

Sun: It's cold.

Frost: A nice cup of coffee.

Sun: It's horrible!

Frost: Cup of coffee.

Sun: I'm not sure if this even IS coffee.

Frost: C U P.

Sun: I appreciate the sentiment, though.

Frost: :3

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: Ugh, crushes are so dumb.

Nova: I know. Whenever we're near the person we like we both just start acting weird.

Sun: But you’re always acting weird?

Nova, suddenly changing out with Frost: ...

Frost: ... Yeah, don’t think about that too hard.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: You get turned back into a baby but you retain all your skills and memory, what do you do?

Nova : Eat a nickel.

Sun, snorting but trying to hold a straight face: A reminder: You have retained all your skills and memories.

Frost: Eat a nickel.

Sun, wheezing: O-Ok-

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Nova : What's wrong with you?

Sun: Off the top of my head, I'd say low self-esteem, a systemic history of abuse, and a programmed predisposition for anxiety and depression.

Nova: 😰

Sun: wait no-

Nova, already hugging him: TOO LATE

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sun: You spent all your paycheck on THIS??

Frost, putting tiny raincoats on ducklings: They live outside. They need this.

[freetheshit-outofyou]

I keep seeing how bad the tariffs are. I keep hearing that tariffs are going to kill the country and all business opportunity. This could all be avoided if you bought American produced and American made. Easy enough. Oh that's right you can't buy American sourced and American made items because all those former American based companies have moved out of the country to take advantage of low labor costs and cheap supply chains so they could bank record profits. You'd think people would have learned during Covid when things got harder and harder to get because of global supply chain stoppages. You think they would have wanted OUR supplies, our food, our energy made domestically, but no. We as a Nation went right back to sucking the supply tit of every other nation on the planet. Mr. Trump is not only trying to break that dependence but also level the global trade and production field. Those on the left are fighting to keep the system in place that keeps us dependent on China, Mexico and the EU for everyday items while strapping our kids and grandkids with a debt that we can never pay back. That leads down only one road, war. At some point We can't pay our debts only one of two things can happen. We fold up shop and sell at the auction block or we fight and winner takes all. It is how these kind of disputes have always been handled by nations. At some point your debt marker is called in and you either pay or fight.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

January 22, 2025

Heather Cox Richardson

Jan 23, 2025

Marc Caputo of Axios reported today that Trump’s decision to pardon or commute the sentences of all the January 6 rioters convicted of crimes for that day’s events, including those who attacked police officers, was a spur of the moment decision by Trump apparently designed to get the issue behind him quickly. “Trump just said: ‘F*ck it: Release ‘em all,’” an advisor recalled.

Rather than putting the issue behind him, Trump’s new administration is already mired in controversy over it. NBC News profiled the men who threw Nazi salutes, posted that they intended to start a civil war, vowed “there will be blood,” and called for the lynching of Democratic lawmakers. These men, who attacked police with bear spray, flag poles, and a metal whip and choked officers with their bare hands, are now back on the streets.

That means they are also headed home to their communities. Jackson Reffitt, who reported his father Guy’s participation in the January 6 riot and was a key witness against him, told reporters he fears for his life now that his father is free. Jackson recorded his father’s threat against talking to the authorities. “If you turn me in, you’re a traitor,” his father said, “and traitors get shot.” “I’m honestly flabbergasted that we've gotten to this point," Jackson told CNN. “I’m terrified. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

The country’s largest police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, has spoken out against the pardons, as has the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote: “Law and order? Back the blue? What happened to that [Republican Party]?” “What happened [on January 6, 2021] is a stain on Mr. Trump’s legacy,” it wrote. “By setting free the cop beaters, the President adds another.”

Mark Jacob of Stop the Presses commented: “Republicans—the Jailbreak Party.”

One of the pardoned individuals is already back in prison on a gun charge, illustrating, as legal analyst Joyce White Vance said, why Trump should have evaluated “prior criminal history, behavior in prison, [and] risk of dangerousness to the community following release. Now,” she said, “we all pay the price for him using the pardon power as a political reward.” On social media, Heather Thomas wrote: “So when all was said and done, the only country that opened [its] prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.”

MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin reported that Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers, who was convicted of sedition and sentenced to 18 years in prison, met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill this afternoon.

For the past two days, the new Trump administration has been demonstrating that it is far easier to break things than it is to build them.

In his determination to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures, Trump has shut down all federal government DEI offices and has put all federal employees working in such programs on leave, telling agencies to plan for layoffs. He reached back to the American past to root out all possible traces of DEI, calling it “illegal discrimination in the federal government.” Trump revoked a series of executive orders from various presidents designed to address inequities among American populations.

Dramatically, he reached all the way back to Executive Order 11246, signed by President Lyndon Baines Johnson in September 1965 to stop discriminatory practices in hiring in the federal government and in the businesses of those who were awarded federal contracts. Johnson put forward Executive Order 11246 shortly after Congress passed the Voting Rights Act to protect minority voting and a year after Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, both designed to level the playing field in the United States between white Americans, Black Americans and Americans of color.

In an even more dramatic reworking of American history, though, the Trump administration has frozen all civil rights cases currently being handled by the Department of Justice and has ordered Trump’s new supervisor of the civil rights division, Kathleen Wolfe, to make sure that none of the civil rights attorneys file any new complaints or other legal documents.

Congress created the Department of Justice in 1870…to prosecute civil rights cases.

Today, Erica L. Green reported for the New York Times that Trump’s team has threatened federal employees with “adverse consequences” if they refuse to turn in colleagues who “defy orders to purge diversity, equity and inclusion efforts from their agencies.” Civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill commented: “Can’t wait until these guys have to define in court a ‘DEI hire’ and ‘DEI employees.’”

Trump’s team has told the staff at Department of Health and Human Services—including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—to stop issuing health advisories, scientific reports, and updates to their websites and social media posts. Lena H. Sun, Dan Diamond, and Rachel Roubein of the Washington Post report that the CDC was expected this week to publish reports on the avian influenza virus, which has shut down Georgia’s poultry industry.

Trump has also set out to make his mark on the Department of Homeland Security. Trump yesterday removed the U.S. Coast Guard commandant, Admiral Linda Lee Fagan, and ordered the Coast Guard to surge cutters, aircrafts, boats and personnel to waters around Florida and borders with Mexico and to “the maritime border around Alaska, Hawai’i, the U.S. territories of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands,” to stop migrants. The service is already covering these areas as well as it can: last August, the vice commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Kevin Lunday, told the Brookings Institution that the service was short of personnel and ships.

As Josh Funk reported in the Associated Press, Trump also fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), responsible for keeping the nation’s transportation systems safe. He also fired all the members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, mandated by Congress after the 1988 bombing of PanAm flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, to review safety in airports and airlines.

Hannah Rabinowitz, Evan Perez, and Kara Scannell of CNN reported that Trump has pushed aside senior Department of Justice lawyers in the national security division, prosecutors who work on international affairs, and lawyers in the criminal division, all divisions that were involved in the prosecutions involving Trump.

Trump has also suspended all funding disbursements for projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, laws that invested billions of dollars in construction of clean energy manufacturing and the repair of roads, bridges, ports, and so on, primarily in Republican-dominated states.

Breaking things is easy, but it is harder to build them.

During the campaign, Trump repeatedly teased the idea that he had a secret plan to end Russia’s war against Ukraine in a day. This morning, in a social media post, he revealed it. He warned Russian president Vladimir Putin that he would “put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries.”

In fact, President Barack Obama and then–secretary of state John Kerry hit Russia with sanctions after its 2014 invasion of Ukraine, and under President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the U.S. and its allies have maintained biting sanctions against Russia. At the same time, Russia’s trade with the U.S. has fallen to lows that echo those of the period immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union.

“Making a ridiculous post about tariffs on Truth Social was his secret plan to end the war in 24 hours?” wrote editor Ron Filipkowski of MeidasNews. “What a ridiculous clown show. Idiocracy.”

Yesterday, Trump held an event with chief executive officer Sam Altman of OpenAI, chairman and chief technology officer Larry Ellison of Oracle, and chief executive officer Masayoshi Son of SoftBank to roll out a $500 billion investment in artificial intelligence, although Ja’han Jones of MSNBC explained that it’s not clear how much of that investment was already in place. In any case, Trump’s sidekick Elon Musk promptly threw water on the announcement, posting on X, “They don’t actually have the money.” He added “SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority.”

Musk has his own plan for developing AI tools and is in a legal battle with OpenAI. Altman retorted: “this is great for the country. i realize what is great for the country isn’t always what’s optimal for your companies, but in your new role i hope you’ll mostly put [America] first.” As Jones noted, the fight took the shine off Trump’s big announcement.

As for turning his orders into reality, Trump has turned that responsibility over to others.

Mark Berman and Jeremy Roebuck of the Washington Post noted today that Trump’s executive orders covered a wide range of topics and then simply told the incoming attorney general to handle them. A key theme of Trump’s campaign was his accusations that Biden was using the Justice Department against Trump and his loyalists; Berman and Roebuck point out that Trump “appears to want the Justice Department to act as both investigator and enforcer of his personal and policy wishes.”

This morning, Meryl Kornfield and Patrick Svitek of the Washington Post, with the help of researcher Alec Dent, reported on Trump’s first meeting with House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate majority leader John Thune (R-SD). Trump frequently repeated, “promises made, promises kept,” but offered no guidance for how he foresees getting his agenda through Congress, where the Republicans have tiny margins. Both Johnson and Thune pointed out that it will be difficult to get majorities behind some of his plans.

According to Kornfield and Svitek, Trump stressed “that he doesn’t care how his agenda becomes law, just that it must.”

This is more a general update as I reached a point in The Scarred Angel where I HAVE to tied up a few things before going further.... Truth of the last couple of months 🙄

The time for scenes and notes hapardazly written everywhere is OVER ! (Half joke and also LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL)

More seriously : I want to make sure I don't drop everything which will be a huge disappointment for several reasons.

ramble/snippet/art under the cut

Ashley would kick my ass / won't leave me alone if I do so (I know this for a fact)

I spent enough time already on TSA (summer 2023 since the first idea came up + about summer 2024 since actively working on it

The initial idea and characters still have reason to exist

Thing is :

It's the first time I work something this "complex" (?).... aka : I've done, I'm doing and I'll do again many "ERRORS" along the way. (Oh wait! Such goes life.....) I really need an OUTLINE at this point, even a gross one! I have an entire first arc of 6 zero draft chapters plus several others (the current wc is between 60000 and 70000 words) BUT most importantly : I feel the need of keep specific and steady angles to write MY story NOT someone's else. Those same angles that made me start in the first place. And apparently, rn, I have to dig and put them on my board to better keep an eye on it among the mass of infos, researches, things that need to happen, characters development, various other ideas .....+ all the interesting imputs I see around and along the way every day!

Additional note : my mother, that knows nothing about what I'm writing , just sent me a letter from Claudia Sheinbaum, actual mexican president, especially dedicated to "Mr DT" and "Mr EM" from "the rest of the world".

You can find the note on the internet and since a lot of TSA PLOT is about INFORMATION.....guess what? The letter slaps but we're not entirely sure she said so for real 😉

STILL .... it would be awesome if she did and since one of the main inspiration quotes for TSA is "everything happens for a reason", fuck yes, I'll take this as a sign too!

....To be continued.....

****

SNIPPET....

Back to the actual chp 1, draft zero, "Amy on the border"

....

My heart skips another beat.

Phil feared it was too soon yet, that I might not be ready to handle the new environment.

Probably me stopping the meds didn't help him accepting my initiative but it hasn't be  a problem for my chief editor who doesn't know anything about me.

Rather the opposite way around, no way I could have missed how much they were happy about someone volunteering for the assignment.

I'm a newbie in this line of work, just two months since I toke the job, and they accepted nonetheless to send me to cover about the challenging task the local police department must face every day in this powder keg that is THE border.

No kidding.

There is always something going on here, endless supply material for many and many articles.

'Same old, same old' is what I heard at the office among other casual comments and still, keeping an 'attentive eye' upon the border situation it's considered a must, so that when something significant seems to come up they do actually send a 'soldier on the battlefield' in order to get first hand information.

I'm nowhere near close to have my own opinion on the matter but I basically threw myself on the opportunity.

YO! I'M ALIVE! HOW ARE Y'ALL!?

I bring gifts for y'all! Please excuse me and my tendency to disappear!

First art:

I've seen so many fanarts of the scene where Quackity just stares in confusion at Richarlyson's signs. Bro that stream had me fucked up dude.

Second art:

Quackity when he was being taught how to write. Couldn't quite decide wether this is with Cucurucho or Cellbit so I'll leave it up to y'all which one y'all wanna interpret it as.

Third art:

A very happy and definitely not delulu Mr. President Forever. Bro the fanarts of this man do a good job of capturing his forced decent into madness. Someone save this man.

Fourth art:

Today was the first time in a while I managed to catch a Philza stream, he tends to stream when I'm working so I can't always catch em so I'm super glad I caught this one. Bro I got to see the Philza Minecraft rping like bro.

Anyways this is from the scene where forever hears the ticking that only he could hear and then pulls out a fucking gun on Philza. That shit had me shook.

And now for some super messy sketches:

Alright so the first one is this idea I had where ElQuackity would be 'dancing' with his twin in some twisted form of like the waltz or something. Quackity is like heavily implied to be unconscious and stuff.

The second one is just a quick little sketch to show the physical differences between the twins. It's not as precise as I would've like it but eh.

The last two are from the stream of Quackity's return, sad wet duck and then happy wet duck with his pan con aguacate!

Anyways hope y'all like these, imma pull a Quackity and disappear for like a month so... yeah! Bye!

( Oh! Rápidamente! Si usted quieren y'all can leave me some requests in my inbox! Hopefully eso me motivará a dibujar más and to post more as well! )

Democrats are making good on their promise to hold town halls in Republican districts, and they’re putting on a show.

In Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s Wisconsin district Tuesday night, Democratic Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan trolled his political rival by standing on stage next to an empty chair reserved for Van Orden, who had declined to join him at the town hall in Viroqua.

“Derrick was a NO SHOW, but over 300 people in the town of 4500 showed up. Empty seat for him,” Pocan wrote on social media. “Of note: Derrick doesn’t respond to constituents & they don’t like cuts to Medicaid & other programs.”

Van Orden “is afraid of his constituents, and he can be fired in 2026,” the progressive continued.

When asked for his response to being calling out about his absence, Van Orden sent HuffPost several criticisms of Pocan.

“At the town hall, did Mr. Pocan apologize for voting against deporting criminal illegal aliens who rape and murder innocent Americans?” he asked. “Did he apologize for signing on to a letter that begged for the release of an antisemitic, pro-Hamas sympathizer? Did he also apologize to the Altoona folks who attend church for his presence at Bernie Sanders’ event that openly welcomed an anti-Christian band who sang this blasphemous song?”

GOP leadership directed Republican lawmakers to stop holding in-person town halls after several were disrupted by protesters outraged that President Donald Trump is gutting federal programs under the guidance of his ally Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth.

Both Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have claimed without evidence that the protesters are being paid to make a scene.

Van Orden denounced them as “George Soros-funded agitators” who are being “completely disrespectful,” and has pivoted to doing virtual town halls.

But Pocan is determined to be a thorn in his rival’s side. When Van Orden and several other Republicans were no-shows at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union last month, which focused on farmers’ concerns about Trump’s policies, Pocan repeatedly joked to the crowd that Van Orden was “on vacation.”

Democrats have even bigger signs than Pocan’s in the works. The Democratic National Committee said Wednesday it’s putting up several billboards in Republican-controlled districts telling residents to demand their representatives hold town halls.

“Republicans are refusing to meet with their constituents after voting to take away health care and make it harder for families to put food on the table,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “This isn’t surprising ― over the last few months, one word has come to describe Republicans: cowards.”

The billboards will be deployed across Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Pennsylvania, and will feature Republicans’ phone numbers.

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate against Trump last year, has also held events in Republican areas. At an appearance in Eau Clare, Wisconsin, on Tuesday night, he slammed Musk as a “dipshit” and a “South African nepo baby.”

Walz has made several visits to Republican districts in recent days, including ones in Iowa and Nebraska. He teased the visits in a social media post earlier this month, saying: “If your Republican representative won’t meet with you because their agenda is so unpopular, maybe a Democrat will. Hell, maybe I will. If your congressman refuses to meet, I’ll come host an event in their district to help local Democrats beat ’em.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) are also holding town halls in Nevada, Arizona and Colorado this week. Event organizers in Denver say they expect a crowd of 20,000 on Friday.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) also plans to hold town halls in Republican-represented Bakersfield, Anaheim and Norco this weekend.

“I want to make sure people know their members should not be voting for cuts to Medicaid,” Khanna said on Fox 11 Los Angeles on Tuesday.

These efforts are part of a strategy laid out by House Democrats, the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Association of State Democratic Committee last week.

“We’re filling a void that’s left open by our Republican colleagues who are too scared to show up to town halls in their own districts because they’re doing things that are not popular,” Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) told reporters during the Democrats’ annual retreat in Leesburg, Virginia.
