I don't really have words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural program. This has to be stopped.

This probably can’t pass by itself. But the obvious play is to sneak this into the budget, since raises revenue. Highly damaging to educational institutions. Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121. Give your ZIP Code, leave a message with your member.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

Want to tell the public what US government workers actually do, vs. the propaganda spewed by DOGE? This incredible website, "We the Builders," is asking for first-person testimonials from government workers about their actual jobs, and how they make the government work. www.wethebuilders.org

Called my 2 Senators and Rep about this today! (Their #s are saved as contacts in my phone at this point.) 👏 Calling matters!! As a former senate intern, each call (and vm) gets logged and informs how our reps spend their limited time and effort! Call to put YOUR issues at the top of their list!

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Government funding expires March 14 and there's a chance they'll need Democratic votes to prevent a shutdown so that could be a good time to demand that Musk and his teens are out of government and an impartial investigation into what they've done thus far

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

Cutting overhead has been touted as a response to administrative bloat at universities. Some of this bloat comes from responses to govt regulations: entire offices have been created to deal with various compliance tasks. The govt could reduce bloat by reducing onerous regulations.
