Just so you know what's going on in the House. Hardliners there want to cut $4,000,000,000,000 from the poorest while shoveling trillions to the richest and Senate Republicans just want to cut $1,500,000,000,000 from the poorest while shoveling trillions to the richest.

Warning: Trump can have his Social Sec administrator purge millions from program without an act of Congress. He will claim people are "frauds." Then it falls on you or family member to make case there is no fraud. But given mass layoffs at Soc Sec Admin no one will respond. That is Trump/Musk plan

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

More tragic news about NIH and NIH science. Grant system is frozen and intramural program is being slashed. All will claw back on treatments and cures for cancer and other human diseases. This can’t be what the public wants. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
