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.

Is there ANYTHING Trump has done THAT IS *NOT* WHAT PUTIN WANTS? Tariffs, imperialism against allies, paranoid hatred for trade partners, calling counties "shitholes" -- these all fold into a pattern to spread anti-Americanism worldwide. THIS IS RUSSIA'S AGENDA FROM PUTIN'S PUPPET.

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.

Democrats should set up a Shadow Cabinet, like they do in the UK. When a Trump cabinet member says something, the shadow cabinet member should issue an IMMEDIATE, WAR ROOM RESPONSE. Because this Democratic response comes from a shadow Cabinet office with authority, it is IMMEDIATELY NEWSWORTHY.
