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.

The felon is slashing 20% of the staff at the CDC’s World Trade Center Health Program & cutting FDNY research grants, putting heroes at risk. His cuts to the federal workforce are endangering 9/11 first responders. Another example of their cruelty & lack of care. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Charting continues for executive actions from Feb 9-11, with a special bonus for yesterday's action claiming, more or less, that Trump is God of the executive branch. No more independent Department of Justice for you, peons! open.substack.com/pub/emturner...

Make your 3 phone calls to tell your senators and rep to VOTE NO on the SAVE Act. It is voter suppression for all women and people of color. #scpol

So what is supposed to happen to unaccompanied migrant minors? Will they be disappeared into the foster-care system, never to be found again, like before? Now they can't even have lawyers.

There are only two genders. Wait! There is no gender. There is no sex. There are no women. No men. Ever. Those words are not allowed. People beat up and kill people. But there are no groups of people by gender. So people kill people. Now I understand?

The Senate will soon vote on the SAVE ("Safeguard American Voter Eligibility") Act. You will need a PASSPORT or a BIRTH CERTIFICATE with your current legal name. Over 80% of married women's legal names aren't their birth names. Millions will lose voting rights. Call your senators with 5calls.org.
