Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees ... we don't need anything from Canada."

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

No Senator was elected to let the President or some unaccountable billionaire decide how YOUR tax dollars get spent. Let me be clear: CONGRESS holds the power of the purse, and NO President can unilaterally abolish an entire agency or ignore our appropriations laws.

Elon Musk is traumatizing hardworking federal employees, their children and families. He has no legal authority to make his latest demands. We will block him in Congress and in the Courts. Again.

💥Scoop: As EU leaders rally around Zelensky in support, I have obtained this fresh letter from Viktor Orbán to António Costa, threatening to obstruct EU unity in support of Ukraine. As I previously wrote, Hungary is becoming a Trojan horse for Trump after already serving as one for China and Russia.

EUROPE BEHIND UKRAINE Zelenskyy has thanked world leaders for their support after his meeting with Donald Trump, which devolved into a shouting match. Trump and Vance behaved like bullies on open air with outbursts of lies and threats. Since Trump took over, the US has become a monster.

What a thoroughly disgusting escapade! Neither POTUS nor VPOTUS are fit to scrape the battlefield mud from Zelenskyy's boots. They have insured our exclusion from meaningful diplomacy anywhere.

Elon Musk already has the keys to vital government agencies. Now the Musk-Trump administration is awarding new contracts to...Elon Musk's own company. All of this after Musk gave $280 million to elect Trump. The most corrupt bargain in American history.
