Someone on Heather’s Facebook posting commented about using “Misprison of Treason” (by someone who knows a treason is being or is about to be committed but does not report to a proper authority) to pressure legislators. 18 U.S. Code § 2382.
We the 99% can’t wait for someone to save us. There is no one but us! No privatization of Social Security! No billionaire tax cuts while throwing babies & elderly under the bus!

These two reversals are the biggest mistakes we have ever made to fair and equal elections. May the "one with the most money win" is NOT how campaigns should be run.
People will die.
USAID. Healthcare. Social Security benefits. SNAP. Food stamps. Vaccinations. FAA. Regulation rollbacks.
What tragedies will have to befall the cult - as if COVID deaths weren’t enough - to break the allegiance to this devastating administration’s slash and burn agenda?
“…cuts are infuriating Americans who did not expect Trump to reorder the American government so completely.” Trump is doing exactly as I expected - what his foreign & domestic owners pay him to do. As for the NYT, it helped make it all possible. No redemption!
I am SO tired and plain disgusted by all of this. My congressman is one of Trump’s buffoons and turned his phones off. *If* he replies to an email, is a canned response. I feel like I’m spinning my wheels and like I can’t do anything about it. I’m strapped in to a slow motion crash everyday.
Profit is the realm of business, while unprofitable but socially useful tasks is the responsibility of government. “Efficiency” in the private sector means profit. Hence, to ask that the government be run like a business is tantamount to asking that the government turn a profit.
When do they cross the Constitutional Rubicon? It’s already seizing taxpayer funds without Congressional authorization or oversight. They are way outside the lines.
The numbers have never added up and there have been so many references to rigging the election, including “Elon knowing all about the voting machines.”Why hasn’t there been an investigation?
Heather, I can't imagine the amount of work it takes for you to write these, THANK YOU! Thank you for doing so much research, including ALL of the references. I appreciate your work and wisdom so much.
The letters will continue to be very, very long, until this insanity is over. Americans, we must all step up to stop the insanity. Heather, thank you for your work. Stay strong.
Here’s the thing: Government salaries are consistently thousands of dollars lower than private sector. “Privatizing” these roles will actually make services MUCH more expensive.
The goal is to weaken Americans financially, physically, and psychologically. trump's regime will lead with a carrot and stick approach. Lines to register (insert here) will be a way to control us and to slow us down. Right now is the time for everyone to protest, resist, and fight back.
Then the reassuring Farm Report on the local channel out of Rochester at 5am letting us know the sun was going to rise yet another day. At least where I grew up. Probably not so much downstate.
Privatization of government services has failed miserably where it has occurred. It has an equally miserable lack of success rate as "trickle down economics". Both are harebrained schemes and plots of the wealthy wanting more wealth-I think that is generally referred to in common terms as greed.
It’s interesting that they frame it as transitioning from government spending to, “private spending”. What they’re leaving out is it’s taxes we already pay will now go to corporations instead of government agencies, setting up the largest Ponzi scheme in American history.
Just so you know, we were overpaid on SSI in 2023 and in 2024 the social security administration withheld 100% -for SIX months- until it was repaid. This was under the Biden administration. Never ever were we given the option to pay back 10% each month.
I followed HCR’s references link on this topic and learned that the 10% rule was put in place mere days after we were assessed at 100%. We were never notified of the option to reduce. @hcrichardson.bsky.social might want to clarify this was only enforce for more than a few months at the end
Anti-vaxxers love jumping up on their soapbox up until the point when their kids get measles and die. Preventable diseases spreading through low vax rate communities will hopefully start to shift opinions of the flat-earthers of medicine. Kennedy is the communicable disease.
Anyone up for a second Progressive Era? I present to the kids in US History that big change happens both tops-down and bottoms-up. I think the latter is ready... but JD Vance is no Teddy Roosevelt.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans have no idea what happens when everything gets privatized. It means that everybody pays the same price for stuff. When the government runs things, the rich pay more for it and the poor pay less or nothing. Privatizing only benefits the rich!
There is more going on than merely the unfettered accumulation of wealth causing chaos.
She subtly noted what Musk is really doing more than anything else at the moment: running interference getting attention so that Trump can hide behind him while deliberately sabotaging this country for Putin.
The Trump regime is totally nuts if your desire is to privatize government agencies shouldn't you have the private company ready to take over before you disrupt its function? And lets stop saying “likely” unconstitutional because all of this chaos is. It has to stop now.
It isn’t stopping. It’s getting worse every day. Red state legislatures meanwhile are stripping rights away at breakneck speed and the populations in those states have no idea what is taking place. They accept that anything DT/Musk does is gonna be great! They read no factual news whatsoever.
Vaccine mandates have been constitutional for 120 years. No one has a right to spread a potentially deadly disease to others. We can and should be enforcing vaccine mandates. RFK Jr. is 1 of 12 ppl responsible for >60% of health and vaccine disinformation on the internet and social media.
FILL THE VOID!
To all Democratic members of congress!
Hold town halls in Republican Districts where Repubs won’t. Show them who represents them and that you won’t walk away from them. Democrats not Republicans!
America is for sale!
The convicted felon is selling its…
Parks
Federal lands
Schools
VA’s
Social Security
Post offices.
Land of the brave, home of “the highest bidder.”
America is not in the business of “feeling your pain” or “feeding your hungry.”
Poverty is now acceptable.
I am terribly afraid for our country.. I dont know which is worse; knowing what trump/elon are doing to us or knowing there's only one way trump/elon come out of office and no one can do it.
The rationale for appointing billionaires to the cabinet positions is clear. They are the people who will enormously and directly benefit from the privatization of government services. This is a feature and not a bug.
