How does wholesale firing w/o analysis of processes, roles, structuring do anything but destroy? IF the idea is to eliminate waste & fraud start w/ the dept. w/ biggest budget not paid into by individuals & the most contracting orgs. making the most $$$$$$: the DoD. This is NOT an anti-vet post.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

Burning the government to the ground will not do it for us. Now let's just count down until there is a tax cut announced that benefits the upper .05% to an incredible extent more than the rest of us.

“I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm". Sen Bill Cassidy swore this under oath, then voted to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of HHS. Now critical meetings about vaccines are being cancelled. Cassidy is corrupt fraud who pretended to be concerned and then screwed over the US.

The IRS has initiated layoffs of about 6,700 employees, primarily targeting probationary staff and those in compliance roles. These are the people who "go after tax evasion." If you wanted an efficient government, wouldn't you wait until tax season is over or was the Trump champagne already cold?

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

So now a 100 people work for unPresident Musk, & they've spent $40 million in 32 days? Where are the root-case analyses of waste? What fraud have they unearthed? When do they tackle DoD contracts including their own? What does Congress say about being replaced? When will Congress find a spine?

Yes, we need more specific work requirements for all Missouri legislators. And elimination of tax-payer funded healthcare and pensions. They can stop buying so many avocado toasts and coffees and save on their own like the rest of us.

What are the economic ramifications for each state, university, & local economy? How many university & research institute processes & budgets will have to adjust if this is the case? How many students and staff will be laid off or not hired as a result? How much science will stop?

Regardless of what they were hired for, their skill set, experience, & education, apparently. Tell us again in what ways does this serve improved efficiency? When does this start at DoD? When will this start w/ federal contracting companies w/ the biggest awarded contracts w/ the biggest budgets?

Spoke w/ someone who says this disruption will uncover waste & fraud. Me: Start w/ DoD, not Cobol-based date placeholders b/c Soc Sec didn't spend $9MM more. Rather than firings first, where are data, root-cause reports, details, improv. plans? Over/under on seeing those b/4 tax cuts for rich?

Democracy requires our courage. Hey, my fellow American sisters and brothers, do you have courage? Together, do we have courage? 🇺🇸

Yes. In a democracy we don't all get along. We often disagree on many things or almost everything. But we don't hate each other. We work hard to find solutions together for all of our people.

At the state capitol protests on Presidents' Day, signs said: First they came for the feds, next they came for the state workers.... You see how this works? Republicans, you don't all want this. Most of you don't. Take action to stop this now.

Immediately in the wake of RFK Jr.'s confirmation as head of HHS, Louisiana decided it will no longer require childhood vaccinations. Other states will follow. Republicans, children will die. The deaths will be horrible. It's on you unless you all act now to stop this.

From a friend: No chickensht reporters are pressing the WH or Heritage Foundation to release the “secret” component of Project 2025. If Trump & authors thought it too provocative for public release, it is evil beyond the destructive derby now underway. What is the rest* of that Project 2025 story?
