Cool DIY. I can make this with ingredients from @WincoFoods. Your egg salad will never be the same. – at Oregon, USA

Recipe for y'all to try, must be Monday.

They don't mean democracy. Democracy means listening to the people. I used to call myself a technopeasant. I was a technocrat in Silicon Valley, and I learned better. User interface folks need to listen to users (blush), and even love them a bit. Technocrats annoy me now. I want to take my pitchfork and storm the castle. Their glossary makes the word mean rule by people with the right credentials. The appointed sense-makers do the speaking. Elections and regular people need not apply. They decide who gets the credential. Here they are, saying it. We've tried rule by experts. It sucks. Experts are still humans, and humans get things wrong. (Grumpy Note: This one is long, 50 minutes. At 5am I cut it to solo shots of the leaders because you have to forgive the gullible. The first cut was almost 3 hours, and it also put 56 other people on screen.)

How did @ScottAdamsSays know what it was like for @DataRepublican to do a stint at the Pentagon DOGE?

Yeah, but it wouldn't let me mess with a scammer this morning. What issue you do you have with fighting crime? – at Oregon, USA

Pivotal's Redmond cubicle farm, courtesy of Melinda French Gates, the billionaire the left likes. Her LLC and her c4 wrote the $4,000,000. Two checks. She did not sign them. – at Oregon, USA

Any Patriots in DC up for a drive? @DataRepublican gave me her dump, but I have my own database (shared on hugging face). It wasn't updating the FEC data live, so I added that a couple of days ago. Someone in DC should check out: 600 Pennsylvania Ave SE and see what Unit 15180 is about. New info: New funders, one mailbox. State + Local Election Alliance and State Democracy Defenders Fund both list 600 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Unit 15180. That is a mailbox number in a Capitol Hill office building, not a suite. Fund for States, the c4 that shares staff with the PAC, is on the IRS list at the same street. EIN 99-0791956. The new money: Green Advocacy Project wrote $250,000 to SLEA on June 24 and $250,000 to CFFE PAC on August 5. Same donor, both PACs, six weeks apart. It is a 501(c)(4), EIN 81-4823798, Michael Kieschnick's outfit. Last return: about $10 million in, about $10 million out, zero employees. Pivotal Initiatives Fund, a Redmond, Washington c4, EIN 99-3468125, wrote SLEA $2,000,000 on August 26. A different Pivotal, Pivotal Ventures, wrote CFFE $2,000,000 on August 15, 2025. Two legal names. I am not merging them unless someone wants to drive over there. Democracy PAC put $550,000 into SLEA, $50,000 in March 2025 and $500,000 in July. America Votes put $1.44 million into CFFE in the last two weeks of October 2024. SLEA then spent $3.3 million at Meta on digital ads through September 30. The credit-card bill is not a vendor. Forward Action Fund, the c4 that already funds CFFE, picked up two more checks in the 2025 filings: $200,000 from Wellness Advocacy Fund and $194,395 from Wide Angle Research. Opinion: the mailbox said it was one shop. The new checks are the donor list catching up. – at Oregon, USA

I sous vide my Turkey Whole from Frozen, but this looks good too: (@WincoFoods usually offers a free turkey around this time of year)

• New Venture Fund gave PolicyLink $2,096,000 from 2019 through 2024. It also gave North Main, Forward Action Fund, and State Democracy Defenders Fund. • Sixteen Thirty Fund’s only PolicyLink line is $12,580 to the c4 in 2020. • Hopewell Fund gave PolicyLink $82,275 in 2020, and gave Forward Action Fund $1,250,000 in 2022 and $500,000 in 2024. All 3 of these share a building, 1828 L Street NW in DC. In case anyone wants to drive by and moon them. – at Oregon, USA
