Unconscionable! When you have a leader that spews hate, the people listen. Sadly, the children echo what they hear at home. There is no compassion or empathy - only the goal to instill fear and hatred.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Get ready to pay more for electronics, cars, and medications. The news just keeps getting better and better for business. But what about the people?

Your personal data is not needed for the planned staff reductions. But having it could determine who will or will not be allowed social security or Medicare going forward

Utter failure due to a lack of oversight and fear of select words. Making American work environments unsafe. No OSHA oversight brings risk back to the companies and the people. No protections for any of us who work for a living. Lawsuits will be a plenty. Keep yourself safe people!

100% obvious. Manufacture a crisis and fix it by “Privatizing for profit!” Oligarchy at its finest. The Regime is doing this everywhere they can. They reduce headcount but in the end increase governmental and personal costs.

Destroying mental and physical health one edict at a time. The mental health crisis in our nation will only get worse. But honestly, should we expect anything else from our new Administration team members?

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

This is deeply disturbing. Minnesota stands with our LGBTQ neighbors against this unthinkable crime. I’m grateful to the law enforcement agencies investigating. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to Sam’s family and community. apnews.com/article/new-...
