Please check in with your fed friends. It's kinda stressful here You’re fired You’re rehired You’re refired You’re staying but your team is fired Your team is staying but your funding’s cut You’re moving across the country, maybe Restraining order 🛑 Restraining order against the restraining order 🔙

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Fine. If it's about jobs and the economy... 69% of the US GDP is from STEM and 24% of the US workforce works in STEM. #standupforscience #scienceforall #handsoffourscience ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsb2024.... www.fticonsulting.com/~/media/File...

OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct? RATLIFFE: No OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

You shouldn’t finish every book you start. Abandoning a book is not an admission of failure—it’s a sign of wisdom. You’ve decided to let go of sunk costs. The purpose of reading is to be entertained and informed. If a book doesn't bring joy or insight, it’s time to move on.

I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Are we not angry enough

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

Made my calls to my lawmakers today. I gotta be honest, they weren't snappy or pithy. I didn't clap back. I just expressed my deep sadness. Last night I was watching my husband talk about how it feels at work every day in federal wildland fire. How no one he works #wildlandfire #doge #fvckelon

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

I watched Hannity's interview with Musk and Donald Trump so that you didn't have to. It was, as George W. Bush might have said, some weird shit www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.
