Good morning friends. It’s happening. Folks are swarming townhalls of Republican MoCs blistering them over Musk/Trump regime’s brutal cuts. This should also send a message to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & all House Dems ▶️ not one vote for Musk/Trump’s budget. #resist

How stupid and arbitrary are Trump's mass firings at federal agencies? A State Dept employee tells me some colleagues are racing to change their job descriptions so phrases like "transnational crime" don't get caught up in DOGE AI bots scanning for words like "trans" to fire people because "DEI."

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. Thankfully, @propublica.org has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names just added to the list today.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

NEW: The Education Department is “lifting the pause” on investigating civil rights complaints in schools — but only for disability cases. Race and gender investigations largely are still sitting idle. (Exceptions are the few priority cases such as one re: an all-gender bathroom in Denver)

NEW: A first-of-its-kind analysis by @propublica.org found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% after Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect in September 2021. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

I know we talk about this constantly but it is truly one of the greatest mindfucks of my lifetime. as an 80s kid a Nazi was the most unambiguously, nonnegotiably evil thing you could even be ADJACENT TO, like morality for kindergarteners, and now we have to relitigate that shit every day???? ffs

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

"Republican senators find themselves in an unusual position these days: begging Trump officials to release funds they themselves appropriated." Honestly, is there a more pathetic, contemptible collection of cowards & simps in the entire world?

REJECT THEIR FRAMING: it hasn’t even save $16 billion considering how much those positions contributed to the economy. For example, “In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity”. So ask how much money we are losing with these cuts.

This is why the Tesla boycott/divestment strategy can work where others have failed. If we can move Tesla stock, we can wipe out a huge amount (if not all) of Elon Musk's wealth. This opportunity is too important not to pursue all-out. #TeslaTakedown

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
