Governor Mills of Maine…YOU'RE A FREAKIN ROCK STAR !

Ideas on things to include when you write or call your reps. They're not helpless just because they're the minority. And if you're a federal worker, you can help by sharing your story too!

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

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.

Firing everyone then steering all of the federal contracts to himself. It's criminal.

What the health & scientific world "have experienced in the past few weeks is like a death in the family. We are angry, shocked, & saddened, but we must not despair". This a telling account of what is happening in the #US, but I am saddened that the author felt it had to be written anonymously.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

This is what fascists do.

Sorry, but we now have a once-per-six-months PrEP injection with a 96% efficacy in reducing HIV infections, and the response is to limit PrEP to only pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers? What?! It's going to be much more expensive to provide lifelong treatment than work on prevention.

Another tech broligarch with no business being there, infiltrating our government. Let me guess: he wants to gut the department that regulates AirBnBs.

It’s a true nightmare scenario and it should scare the shit out of everyone, even the most oxygen starved MAGA brain.

Valor Danielle Sassoon, Acting U.S. attorney for SDNY - refuses to drop Adams charges and resigns John Keller, Acting head of DOJ Public Integrity Section - refuses and resigns Kevin Driscoll, Acting head of DOJ Criminal Division - refuses and resigns www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

We knew it was coming, but RFK Jr, an anti vaxxer, being confirmed to lead HHS hurts. He’s a danger to the public. He could wipe away much of the progress we’ve made with respect to infectious disease & preventative care. Wear a mask. N95 or better. Protect your own health and those around you.

The biggest story in the country right now is how many lawsuits DOJ is losing trying to defend Musk and Trump. I've never seen so many courts, so clearly outraged at the federal government. The latest one, blocks cuts at HHS and FDA. Visit www.democracydocket.com to stay informed.

Did RFK, Jr just get confirmed??!

Nobody voted to let Elon Musk cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

1/My statement on learning through news reports that my #securityclearance has just been revoked.

This is not only cruel and selfish, but also incredibly short-sighted - many of the outcomes of these trials will benefit the whole world - including the USA. The cruelty and stupidity of freezing aid suddenly without any oversight or forethought is astounding. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Woo hoo! I deactivated/deleted my Twitter account today. “I’m as free as a bird now…”!
