I thought this was fake … but it’s not. Vive la France! 🇫🇷🇺🇦🇺🇸 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

Now even our dogs are less safe. Doge cut the Michigan-based NOAA team that monitors & alerts water treatment plants to toxic microcystin which has "been known to kill dogs, birds, and livestock and cause nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting in people." newrepublic.com/article/1923...

Garry Kasparov is right, I’m afraid: they are breaking everything so quickly even though it’s unpopular, because they never expect to face real elections again. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, signed on December 5, 1994, by Ukraine, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Ukraine agreed to eliminate all nuclear weapons on its territory. In return, the signatories provided Ukraine with security assurances, including:

🚨PHASE 1 OF ENDING SOCIAL SECURITY HAS BEGUN🚨 This phase cuts staff to the bone, to engineer massive failings in the system. Phase II will be pointing to those failings as reason to privatize. But, this is the beginning of the end of Social Security. prospect.org/health/socia...

The House budget resolution strips healthcare from 80 million people who receive Medicaid and food from 40 million people (1 in 5 children) who receive SNAP. ALL to help fund tax cuts for billionaires. Dial (202) 224-3121 and demand your member of Congress vote AGAINST the House resolution tonight.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Yeah when????🙄😡

The end of public lands? Anyone surprised? www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Is this a good week to reveal my secret crush on Manu? This man is adorable. 😘

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

We are one news cycle away from Trump giving military aid to Russia.

This is a pretty comprehensive description of the brain drain happening at our government agencies ⬇️

This is horrific. Ectopic pregnancies are nothing to mess with. They can be fatal!

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Pretty important to say as loudly and often as possible that Elon Musk is fucking with Social Security *right now* and you can ask your members of Congress wtf they’re doing about it by calling 202-224-3121 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

NBC News confirms: An IRS employee affiliated with Elon Musk's DOGE has accessed an IRS system that holds sensitive taxpayer information. @msnbc.com

Can everyone please call Congress, the courts, and anyone else you can think of to find out wtf this is

The Trump administration has fired a quarter of the federal employees in a central program office responsible for coordinating the tracking and monitoring of the growing bird flu outbreak.

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system - putting backdoors into Treasury This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

🚨🚨🚨 The tuberculosis outbreak has expanded from Kansas to Ohio.

Makes you wonder wtf WE are waiting for.

It is a grave mistake to compare Musk to Hitler. Hitler, famously, never had access to nuclear weapons.

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

Democrats shld make clear to voters that this gives Musk's private sector employees the power to stop checks to any individual recipient in the US (Soc Sec, vets benefits, Medicare) as well as examine their private financial info. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
