Elon Musk’s staffers have been granted access to a sensitive child support database by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The data access was approved by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., despite resistance from career employees within the department. Sorry, we tried…

In business, having no surge capacity means you're efficient. In government, having no surge capacity means people die. This is why business people are unsuitable for government leadership roles.

Trump thinks firing federal workers & Veterans makes America “great”. Not true. @elonmusk & his reckless DOGE cuts means fewer food safety inspectors, delayed disaster relief, missed Social Security checks & understaffed VA hospitals. Does nothing to reduce inflation & causes economic chaos.

Things Trump did that he isn't talking about tonight... -Fired 17 inspectors general and the top govt ethics director -Halted anti-bribery enforcement and money laundering laws -Dismantled CFPB at the behest of billionaires -Put a corporate lobbyist in charge of the DOJ "Drain the swamp."

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Musk plans to fire 7,000 Social Security Administration employees while calling Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” However, Americans have paid into the system their entire working lives!

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

The Trump Administration is clawing back funding for public EV charging stations that was authorized under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Withholding this funding is against the law! I joined my colleagues in urging the Federal Highway Administration to follow the law!

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
