A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

DOGE isn't here to serve anyone other than Elon Musk and Donald Trump. And it was never about "efficiency." Just like the doge meme, the lives of hard-working families are a joke to them. youtube.com/shorts/nHoGr...

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

The media has to STOP giving trump credit for "taking questions" if he's not answering any of them truthfully. Anyone can take a billion questions and answer them in the bullshit lying way he does with ZERO pushback.

Trump and Musk are importing rapists and human traffickers and deporting Native Americans and other US citizens.

6,700 IRS employees fired during tax season, rescinded terminations, bungled buyouts, and cuts that increase costs rather than save money. DOGE is ignoring the basic realities of government & the damage is piling up. Max Stier sounds the alarm.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

DOGE is slashing VA staff, cutting suicide prevention programs, delaying Veterans’ healthcare, and firing those who served (Fun Fact: 30% of Federal Employees are vets!). They call it "efficiency." I'd call it betrayal. #DOGEscrewsVeterans

I have NO sympathy whatsoever for MAGA business owners who enthusiastically voted for Trump but are whining like babies now that their federal contracts are being cancelled. I realize they only expected people they hate to get hurt, but guess what? Trump and Musk don’t care about people like you.

The reason Bondi can’t release the unredacted Epstein list is that it’s full of Republicans including Donald Trump who was accused of sexually abusing a 13 year old.

HHS Secretary Kennedy has been scarce at headquarters, has not visited a number of HHS agencies and has not sent all-staff emails to the department's workforce, according to one department official. Notably, this person says, Kennedy has not done anything to address the measles outbreak.

We need to think outside the box. They don’t want the headlines (narrative) that people are pissed so just find new ways to make the media cover how pissed you are. They all have district offices. Hold them in absentia using life sized cut outs.

Judge orders discovery, allowing interrogations, depositions, information requests to develop. This is the first time a court orders this legal action in a case against the so-called DOGE. It is a critical next step to stop DOGE’s unlawful access to Americans’ sensitive data. 1/2

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

The New Mexico congressional delegation is pleading with RFK Jr. to promote vaccination and provide other resources in the wake of the measles outbreak. Instead, Kennedy says that the death of a school-aged child as “not unusual”. He can’t get out of his anti-vax corner. His ego is paramount.

"I’m old enough to remember what happened the last time the GOP tried cutting healthcare to offset tax cuts for the rich. In 2018, they attacked the ACA. That November, they lost the House by the biggest margin in modern US history. That’s the sleeping giant they’ve awoken by attacking Medicaid."
