@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

The "Fork in the road" is now closed. Now things get interesting.

For my fellow FED workers. I was reading the new EO from today. Make sure you file your taxes and pay anything you owe before the deadline. Or that may be used as cause to fire you. This isnt the year you want to be late by even a day.

Security agents escorted the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture out of her office on Monday after she refused to comply with her firing by the Trump administration. The 22-year veteran of the department told colleagues that she didn’t believe proper protocols had been followed.

"FORK IN THE ROAD" Email from the Government. It just came out, sorry for quality. I will not be forwarding or taking a screenshot from the work device.

Can confirm OPM already emailed today to tell us "OPM Federal Workforce Announcement pending Watch your emails".. "Starting Tonight, OPM will be sending out an important federal workforce announcement". Curious how many will walk out the door.

The Alaska House is set to take up HJR4, a resolution opposing changing Denali's name. This morning, the resolution advanced out of the Rules. It is on hold for a minute while waiting for an amendment to be distributed. 📺: www.ktoo.org/video/gavel/... 📄: www.akleg.gov/basis/Bill/D... #akleg

Six Assembly seats and two school board seats are on the ballot in Anchorage’s April 1 city election. Now that candidate registration has closed, here's a look at who's running. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

Among the Alaska Legislature's new members are best friends, parents navigating a cross-state move, pet owners who left furry friends in their far-off districts, and professionals navigating transitions from jobs and hobbies to the so-called “Juneau bubble.” www.adn.com/politics/ala...

Parks Highway update: DOT says crews have been running pilot cars through the avalanche area at Mile 219 north of Cantwell, but another closure is planned to begin at 5 p.m. today and last overnight. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

I hope that this is a coincidence of timing.. and not because someone wants direct one-way communication with us all while bypassing his agency heads and PR teams. Already got my "test" email. www.opm.gov/statements/f...

651 days until the midterms.

All federal employees just got the same worded email from their agencies. Asking people to turn in their coworkers within 10days or else "adverse consequences".

Maddow: "Why are people with tons of money up on the dais with Cabinet nominees and family members?"

I personally am not a fan of the preemptive pardons for many reasons, but I will say the manic, unhinged and furious reactions of MAGA Republicans, which include calling for state court prosecutions and MORE congressional investigations, proves Biden’s point on why he did it.

So you found your way here from TikTok. First impression, it's not quite what you were expecting, but all of that is about to change. Programs like @flashesapp.bsky.social and @skylight.social are on the way, and they are going to be a game changer.

If Martin Luther King Jr would have been able to live his entire life, as intended, I believe circumstances in our country (our world), would be very different today. I will always look up to people like him.

Election reform, transgender athlete ban, age-verification for apps and more: Another set of bills has been unveiled ahead of Tuesday's start to Alaska's legislative session. www.adn.com/politics/ala...
