Making fun of Elon and his dictum looks super fun, but I have co-workers who are legitimately freaked out. I won't reply to the email Monday. I won't even open it. I don't work for OPM. My orders come through my command. And if I get fired for ignoring an email from outside my agency, so be it.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

My favorite part of this is the afterward, when they say, “I didn’t sign up for THIS!” or “How could we know he meant US?” Leopard, meet face. #Ftrump #Fmaga

Just endured every excruciating minute of this. With Trump sitting there, the kid wandering around, Musk gives a crash course in his theory of democracy that would embarrass a semi-literate stoner. These are fools in charge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAuT...

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

This is why you don't do force reductions en masse, on the fly with outsiders who don't know how anything works. How many critical positions have they emptied? We'll find out when a catastrophe hits us. Whether at CDC, NIH, FBI, DOD, or tiny offices like this one that most people never heard of.

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

In the past weeks, the Trump administration has purged federal law enforcement agencies of prosecutors and investigators who’d been pursuing white supremacist groups that had been listed among the most dangerous threats to national security. By @hannahallam.bsky.social
