SCOTUS indicates USAID payments must be honored immediately. The supreme Court holds the line! It’s too bad that it was only by a 5/4 majority, but the concept of the constitutional rule of law at least still holds. Thank god for that! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I hate to sound like a broken record, but “move fast, break things” is not how the government should be run. “Break things” in the government, means real people can get hurt or die.

I’m so disgusted. Honestly, the past couple weeks have been an exercise in shifting my reality on the potential for stupidity. But having a state leader, sit around for a press conference to be badgered about why he’s not wearing a suit. It’s just a goddamn embarrassment on a global scale. WTF 🥴

I can’t wait till Granny and Grandpa MAGA can access their social security benefits or make changes, or find a live person to talk to within 150 miles.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to. #Resist

Here is a wild thought. Maybe “traumatizing” federal employees as Russ Vought sugests is not in fact the best idea when you also expect those employees to manage mission critical tasks with life and death implications. But what do we know???

Nothing says ‘serious leadership’ like threatening mass firings then trolling the very people who keep the country running with a Spongebob meme. Real stable genius energy. In any normal reality, this behavior would be ridiculed. TBH I’m not surprised that these two idiots relate to a kids cartoon.

We assumed that a person such as Eli Crane, a former member of the military and our elite Navy Seal teams would also be able to understand the separation of powers and have respect for constitutional law. I guess that is asking too much. Such a disappointment. May have breached too many time.

What a complete and total shit show dumpster fire. I don’t know how else to describe this. “That’s not normal,” an NNSA employee familiar with the firings told CNN. “It was ridiculous, unprecedented and sloppy. There’s no formal process.”

Move fast and break things is not a good motto for the American government. I’d argue it may not be the best moto in Silicon Valley.

Welcome to the new American exceptionalism. ““We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains … We want to put them in trauma.” -Russel Vought head of OMB. Sad times

Fed funds make up about 1/3 state spending, supporting services like healthcare and education. Any reductions in fed funding will hit state budgets hard, making it tougher for families to access critical services.

Claim: 100 billion in savings annually if 10% of the federal employees take the deferred resignation. Truth: That would mean they each federal employee is making about 500k annually in pay, compensation & benefits. Not even close to reality apple.news/AU8cjwEPMTfu...
