How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

When they privatize everything, it isn’t regular people who win. It’s their friends and whoever does what they want. 🇺🇸 is not a business. The more we run it like one, the more we leave those with the least behind. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“[H]ow does it not benefit the public interest to have clean bathrooms? How does it not benefit the public interest to have safe and clear trails. I was doing those things at a high level. And that’s on top of the collateral fire duties with the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service.”

Remember, everything is part of the same story. They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

3rd of federal workers are veterans. The federal government is largely a jobs program for them. This is who Trump and Musk are hurting with their callous, non-targeted DOGE cuts. We’re going to see a lot of Jobless vets.

You don’t hate us when we call an ambulance to save your life, put out wildfires before they reach your home, rescue your lost kid, keep your water clean, or build the trails you love. But now they want to defund us? No rangers, no rescue, no wildfire response. Think about that.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

From r/ParkRangers, speaking up for an #AirForce #veteran caught up in the unlawful terminations: “Good employees are being cast aside because of political agendas. So much knowledge and experience is getting flushed down the toilet.” Please ✍️ your reps: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

I plan to share a series of profiles of employees who have been terminated. These stories use generalities and pieces of information from multiple people to protect those involved. Story #1: Susan Susan grew up in a small town in the southeast. She excelled in school.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Dear Global Friends, We know how you feel. We get it. We don’t recognize these people holding power either. We don’t recognize them as legitimate expressions of our values or principles as Americans. Thank you for voicing your disapproval and opposition. Signed, A concerned American

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

If you are a federal worker who was let go today, I'd love to hear from you. I'm interested in both your work for the federal government and the impact of this decision on your life. Contact me on signal at juddlegum.47 or use the QR code below. I can keep you anonymous if you prefer.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where everyone cared about their job and serving others.

I think attitudes towards government employees are a bit like attitudes towards race and religion and sexuality. Plenty of people are unregenerate bigots in the abstract but have That One Black Friend who They Don’t Think of As Black. There are exceptions in the particular, unreconciled. /1

Well said @dereklowe.bsky.social. Academia produces two vital products: (1) knowledge, and (2) human capital that knows how to use it. If we can’t train enough young creative US scientists to fulfill biopharma industry needs… “I think they're being short-sighted, because fear does that to you.”

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.
