The share of Americans employed by the government steeply dropped in the decades leading up to 2000, and has remained essentially flat since. A bloating federal workforce is a myth.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

I’ve spent my career in public service & am 💔 by the stories of others who have had their public service arbitrarily cut short. These stories are powerful testaments to the American people & Congress about the vital work federal employees do every day.

A lot of the people being let go are early career scientist–– our best and brightest who, until today, were on the ascendance, and contributing as the creative life force that makes the US the paragon of scientific and technological innovation... no more.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

The danger of having a CEO as a policymaker: Trump's Energy Secretary Chris Wright spent a good part of his first speech criticizing Germany's Energiewende. Lots to say, but Wright's biggest misconceptions come down to confusing running a country with running a company. 🧵

States with more renewable electricity do not have consistently higher power prices. Nor do they have consistently lower power prices. Power prices are determined by lots of forces above & beyond the generation mix.
