The ones with a voice to stop this are your Republican members of congress. If you still want any of the things you’re used to - constitutional rights, voting, education, secure jobs, mail, healthcare, safe food and water - Ride them hard. Make them explain. Put them in the limelight. Now or never.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Good job, people. Keep it up. Switch your habits until they switch theirs. They only care about the $ and that’s one “vote” they can’t mess with.

Should we just pay our federal taxes to each of our states this year? Cause that’s who will be providing services now.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

I cannot stress how an overwhelming number of Americans would be outraged by this if they knew it was happening. So tell them. You low information voter friends. Your Trump-ish relatives. Tell them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It’s time to do what we do best: Make Republicans squirm and ensure Democrats fight like hell. Your representative is back home for recess and we’ve got events planned across the country (including Tesla dealerships). We know that showing up works and the stakes are too high to stay home. LFG. 👇

Please share this far and wide. It’s one of those nefarious things they don’t want women to know they are doing.

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
