In Portugal we are ordering Canadiano coffees and servers know exactly what we mean. 🇨🇦 ☕

Here’s an idea: If “waste, fraud and abuse” are actually being uncovered, could we see a couple examples that can be investigated and confirmed by an independent 3rd party? Because I believe DOGE is theater.

Those big, bright eyes are the real showstopper! 🦉 Photo by mon_regard_sur_la_nature #OwlGaze #Owl #Birds #Nature

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Countries gather in Rome this week for a second crack at figuring out how to generate $200 billion a year to help preserve the world's biodiversity - and give a shot in the arm to global cooperation as the United States draws back reut.rs/4i9OTQD

From our latest: “there are brave Americans who are making it damn clear that we are not just gonna roll over for America’s Hitler or his dorky, deadbeat dad super-villain friend.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The State Dept's procurement as of late Dec 2024, lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio's department planning to buy $400,000,000 worth of “Armored Tesla.” Hey DOGE, I found the fraud. #ProudBlue #ElonMuskIsANationalSecurityThreat

Scores of firings have begun at federal agencies, with terminations of probationary employees underway at the Department of Education and the Small Business Administration, federal employees and union sources told CNN Wednesday.

Officials at the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Department are racing to set up multiple tent facilities in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to house thousands of migrants, but the scattered efforts have prompted questions internally about who’s in charge and what will happen

Federal agencies across Washington are finding ways to keep funding frozen even after judges last month temporarily blocked the White House’s effort to pause trillions of dollars in federal assistance.

BREAKING: A federal judge has determined that the Trump administration is violating his order lifting the blanket spending freeze on federal grant programs. He is orderin gthe administration to immediately unfreeze funds, including for NIH and the IRA. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WOW! Cory Booker isn't holding back! "There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent."

Welcome to the "find out" stage.

How do we claw back the data they already hacked? Impound their devices and block their cloud account access NOW!

REPEAT AFTER ME: NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON MUSK PASS IT ON.

Rep. Maxwell Frost perfectly points out the clear lack of oversight of Elon's damage he could be causing to our government. We must hold him accountable.

California is providing more food benefits for people in Los Angeles impacted by the recent firestorms. Starting February 10th, I encourage eligible people to apply for CalFresh benefits, which will allow more people to access and put more food on the table.

We need to work on lowering costs for American families not raise them! Almost all economists have warned that indiscriminately raising tariffs on our key economic neighbors will RAISE COSTS for middle class families already struggling with inflation.

“From Congress’ perspective, this is a clear congressional prerogative to create, dissolve agencies, not the executive, and you can’t just undo by (executive order) something that is in statute,” one told CNN. So what is the plan? We’re just going to let them do it?

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months. And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

NEW: At least 6 senior FBI officials have been ordered to resign or be fired by Monday. They include those that oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

Thank you to my 600k followers here on Bluesky!🥳

The fact that this exists around us but we got stuck on this stupid planet with a bunch of man babies trying to work out their grievances is just so annoying.

We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts. @democracydocket.com's 16-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Listened to some TV analysis this morning. Um. No more of that. I’m going to go back to just listening to the voices in my head.

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com told me to join Bluesky last night and it only took me 24 hours to figure it out.
