Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence). Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. Hello?

Excellent book. Pairs well with “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander 💙📚 #booksky

Thanks, I hate it

I need someone to answer this damn question!

Education Department employees on probation were abruptly dismissed without cause across the department this morning. Staff have been warned that more layoffs are coming.

Those fascist chucklefucks don’t care how many lives they ruin! They just don’t care. It is not even a fleeting thought or concern for them.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Just pre-ordered from my local bookstore!

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

Agency staff need to obey the law, not the illegal commands of their bosses.

Not only does Rose deserve to have her story told, but we deserve the pleasure of reading it. There is not GOOD reason why stuff like this should be stifled. It’s pure racism and sexism and classism and fascism. And THAT is the reason we need stories like these.

Quit monkeying around🐒

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

I hope he has chronic diarrhea for the rest of his life

Can one of you amazing journalists out there PLEASE contact her and do a story on this? We need all the details and this should be on the front page of everywhere. This is the perfect example of how awful this crackdown on DEI is.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Dis was good. 😳 It’s really more about the psychology of it all than the politics, but it is frightening to note that some of the QAnon conspiracy theories and talking points have wormed their way into mainstream discourse. 💙📚

Community health centers are now starting to shut down across the country because of Trump’s executive orders. These centers serve 1-in-5 rural patients in America.

Our Secretary of Transportation, everyone. Checks out.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

In terms of how empires fall stories turning the whole thing over to a ketamine addled tech baron and a band of incel teens is probably one of the most pathetic options

FRANCES PERKINS WOULD ROLL IN HER GRAVE

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social
