They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

More media controlling the narrative—The Washington Post refused to run an ad that said, “Fire Elon Musk.”

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

no no we don't say "empty carbs" anymore. the preferred term is "emotional support carbs"

As you know, I've been in communication with hundreds of federal workers & I've noticed a pattern. This is totally anecdotal, but I feel like I need to say something. For at least 5 agencies, the payment systems went offline briefly & were then restored - all around the time DOGE was there. 1/

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

The Onion in 2018.

We’re done here. Right?

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

Congratulations, America. He spent 18 million dollars of YOUR money to take a nap at the Super Bowl.

DOGE "Fork in the Road" emails went out to federal judges, who have lifetime appointments www.newsweek.com/doge-emails-...

Thousands of federal employees in New Mexico received Elon Musk's bogus “fork in the road” ultimatum, pushing them to quit their jobs. Musk has a record of scamming Americans and his own employees. Don’t trust this man. (1/2) www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/t...

WOOO HOOOOO! 🙏💪

The Alliance for Retired Americans filed a lawsuit against Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary for disclosing information and treasury data to DOGE. A hearing on the restraining order is at 3:00. 🍿

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Allowing unelected twenty year olds to download every Americans' personal info and Social Security data to unsecured servers is the equivalent of running the US government out of a Mar-a-lago bathroom.

Wired has really been leading the way with some great reporting during the Musk takeover of the government.

Watching the FireAid concerts for the LA fires , I was struck by how many Canadians took the stage in support. And I’ll never forget those yellow Canadian Super Scooper planes saving the day.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Musk's cronies tried to to gain access to classified USAID data. USAID Director of Security John Voorhees security said no. The Musk people threatened to call in the US Marshals and take the data at gunpoint. They still said no. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/02/p...

"There is a hostile takeover happening in our country"…

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

Luckily we've got a real A Team heading in to this part of the U.S. government right now... 😬 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

All D senators — except Fetterman — sponsor resolution condemning pardons for those who assault led Capitol Police on Jan. 6.

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

Not that Democrats care what I think, but there is a huge opportunity to stand up against worker exploitation AND drive a wedge in the MAGA coaltion as the H1B fight has heated up behind the scenes @capitol.press and I report: www.dropsitenews.com/p/maga-trump...

We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I went to the library yesterday. Libraries are centers of revolution. Visit and support yours.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.

I love this
