This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Filed by state Rep. Brian Seitz, a Republican from Branson, the bill would extend the amount of time survivors have to file civil action against a perpetrator. Survivors would have until age 41 to file civil action, rather than age 31. #moleg #mogov via @clarabates.bsky.social

Translation: they want to privatize everything to enrich themselves and their friends. As we see in Tennessee, this hurts the most vulnerable. And it will exacerbate Gilded Age levels of inequality even further.

So for those keeping score at home: FOX & even NEWSMAX are backing the AP against Trump’s ban Yet ZERO media outlets have spoken up for us here in Tennessee, where Speaker Sexton bans us from pressers and the (AP-chaired) press corps unanimously votes against us 🤔

Elon musing about prosecuting schiff isn’t mere politics, it’s a lot more than that. I wish Schiff would explain a little bit more of what a norms crusher this is.

🚨 Scoop: Treasury Dept agrees to block DOGE access to personal taxpayer data at IRS 🚨 IRS was preparing to try to reject this request, but was able to negotiate with the Trump admin to narrow access. Now DOGE will get the same access as academic researchers and some IT professionals, per sources.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.
