Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Very true! The GOAT Lady is right. If people knew how industrial egg farms worked they’d choke on their egg mac muffin.

This fact sheet on the White House website lists bullet point items of what it alleges are “waste and abuse” at USAID. I was curious what they came up with. Actually every link is to articles at Daily Mail, Breitbart and Washington examiner. www.whitehouse.gov/uncategorize...

It's bullshit, too. For instance, it says, "$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt." It links to a USAID release that says the money is for "potable water to 300,000 residents and wastewater services to 100,000 residents" with no mention of tourism. Utter lies that will be repeated on the right.

Ok here is the thing with action/praxis/protest/showing up: Sometimes you contribute by being a megaphone. Sometimes by being a wallet. Sometimes by being a physical body. Sometimes by being fuel or being relief. If you can’t be one thing at any given moment you can almost certainly be another.
