Pushing back on the premise here: There has been a 40 YEAR push for “government efficiency” now. It gutted the social safety net, left agencies understaffed & overworked & left it incredibly fragile. That fragility is HELPING make this coup possible. Gov’t is too lean, it needs MORE redundancy.

The Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics, a great org, asks individuals & orgs to sign their letter requesting Congress act to restore data that has been removed & ensure a similar purge does not reoccur. #EconSky #PolicySky #sociology #PoliSky docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Truth Sandwich 🥪 Reporting on politics these days is a challenge. Use the Truth Sandwich. State facts, then the falsehood, then facts again. Facts first and last. Don’t amplify falsehoods without context. This is a useful reminder for journalists and in public discussions Graphic @newslit.org

Maybe if I was an elected official during a constitutional crisis I would show up to meetings. Not just the meetings where they announce stuff will happen.

I understand the desire not to panic. And Trump will not be able to do everything he’s trying to do. But it’s not 2016. It’s clear they’re far more capable this time. The only way to prevent things is to take very seriously that he absolutely could succeed.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Deeply appreciate the congressman doing this, but at some point we’re going to need our elected officials to refuse to take no for an answer. Make them arrest you if need be. Force the issue.

This is insane. Again, USAID is the largest provider of food assistance in the world. These boys playing with systems and lives they don’t understand and don’t care to understand will produce a body count of already-suffering people far from Washington

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

These Democrats voted for cloture for Doug Collins last week but voted no on confirmation today. That means that they are responding to calls: Baldwin Blunt Rochester Cantwell Duckworth Kim Murray Reed Warner Whitehouse

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Even in the incredibly unlikely case that trans rights in the US stop getting worse, judges grow a spine, whatever miracle you want to imagine— You should still go out of your way to support trans folks because every fucking thing is harder for them. Work. Family. Housing. Walking down the street.

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

I'm worried about my undocumented students who may be seized and disappeared, I'm worried about my civil servant friends who may lose their jobs, I'm worried about not getting vaccines, I'm worried about trans friends who can't get basic healthcare. But yeah, sure, Chuck, tomatoes, too.

OK, some lawyer, represent me. —Acct is frozen on Xitter. —As an aviator and as a writer on aviation issues, I am specifically harmed by having NTSB etc notices come only via one proprietary source. —This is like saying that flood warnings, school closings, traffic alerts only via crony media

This is a huge red flag for a crucial, non-political federal agency. Unlike NHTSA, NTSB has pulled no punches asserting that Tesla Autopilot is dangerously designed. Musk once hung up on the NTSB Chair: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
