🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed. This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

Day 19 of my progressive favorites. A short one but a great one. ✨Did I get it right, did I peg you yet?Maybe we don’t know who we ain’t met. Maybe nobody wins, but the already rich, if you’re a dumb redneck and I’m a commie bitch.✨ open.spotify.com/track/32Igoq... @listigeplaylists.bsky.social

We wrote about how Musk is using X as a propaganda tool to demonize each of the agencies and programs that DOGE targets for cuts, providing air cover for his engineers' incursions — with the truth as collateral damage. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... w/ @drewharwell.com

Probationary employees with less than 1 year of service at CFPB have received termination notices, but they are so hastily done that they don't have people's names, job titles, or other information. They literally say "I am removing you from your position of [JobTitle]... effective [EffectiveDate]"

President Trump has hammered the afterburners in the great American muscle car now blazing a fiery path on the racetrack of raw adrenaline whose every nitrous-powered throb thrusts him farther into that uncharted domain which lies beyond mere sniveling mortal constraint and also is treason

According to the @aflcio.org, Musk’s planned DOGE takeover meeting at the Department of Labor today was moved to VIRTUAL. Sounds like someone’s a little spooked—guess today’s rally and lawsuit made an impact!

Sell your Teslas and don't buy Cybertrucks unless you want everyone to laugh at you. That's what we all do, btw. Everytime we see that stupid car, we just laugh.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Even if this is just a boast, how is Elon Musk live-tweeting his own personal hacker coup against the deep state and no one is doing anything to stop it. Republicans? You can't possibly be OK with this.

One key safeguard we long imagined in our democracy was that if someone launched a coup, the President would *care* and resist said coup. Seems clear Trump is fine with Musk’s junta becoming head of government while Trump shrinks to figurehead head of state. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

It seems like an unelected, non-Senate-confirmed billionaire who recently gave a Nazi salute onstage is directing private citizens in a takeover of U.S. federal workers' personal information? Is this okay with everyone? What am I missing
