A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

BREAKING: the stock market. Make America great again!

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

I don’t wish anything bad on that poor kid, but good lord, concepts of thoughts and prayers for the dimwitted parent.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Good news everyone! The wait is almost over! Flashes for Bluesky is now available for free pre-order on the App Store. 🔥 Pre-"order" now (it's free) & get it the moment it launches! apps.apple.com/de/app/flash...

Instituting massive cuts to federal programs in order to pay for huge tax breaks for billionaires and Wall Street executives has always been Trump's plan. That plan is called Project 2025.

Normalize booing this administration. Of felon and his goons. We shouldn’t even let them speak. From the moment they begin speaking get loud and don’t stop till they have no choice but to leave.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Where did Trump get the 4% number from? That’s what Putin told him in their recent phone call. The American president takes lies about our allies directly from Putin and asserts they are true to the American people without telling them he got those lies from Putin.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

This is also what she voted for

Oh my God if this is true

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Republican voter fraud…. Republican hypocrisy at its finest. youtu.be/-s2qvcNrRTI?...

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

Slashing funding for life-saving treatment for personal gain: It's cruel, it's heartless, it's Elon.

Trump has issued an executive order directing his administration to examine what he and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. deem a “threat” to young people posed by antidepressants, stimulants, and other common psychiatric drugs. Kennedy, a lawyer, anti-vaxxer, and former heroin addict, believes he…

How was this contract awarded??!

Elon Musk now wants to make money off the government he broke

Propaganda network!!!!

INSANITY: Trump has made good on his promise to slash hordes of workers from the Federal Aviation Administration, despite four major deadly air crashes during his short second tenure as president. Termination emails were fired off on Friday, with hundreds of probationary employees facing dismissal.

Per @taracopp.bsky.social: “FAA staff fired over the weekend included personnel that worked radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, among others. Hundreds were fired, just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision in DC killed 67.”

Hey DOGE bros - found some of that wasteful spending you were looking for. How many gov employees could have kept working and feeding their families with the estimated $2.5M this stunt cost?

Elon Musk’s Power Grab – Why We Should All Be Worried Elon Musk isn’t just the richest man in the world—he’s quietly consolidating power over critical infrastructure, data, and communication. And while the world watches Felon 47, Musk is making his biggest moves behind the scenes.

Check out what this dangerously delusional asshole is agreeing with.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

RFK Jr: “Gardasil is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen.” @drneilstone.bsky.social: “The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer! RFK Jr is an anti-vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cancer than a vaccine.”

Dear Global Friends, We know how you feel. We get it. We don’t recognize these people holding power either. We don’t recognize them as legitimate expressions of our values or principles as Americans. Thank you for voicing your disapproval and opposition. Signed, A concerned American

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

We are nearing a precipice.
