The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

The H5N1 risk continues to increase. New spillovers, more infections. The agencies running response are being dismantled & it seems like maybe some info about bird flu is in order. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social asked me to write an explainer piece for @zeteo.com, so I did. zeteo.com/p/how-to-pre...

I saw this earlier but couldn’t post about it. This isn’t Elon’s people…this is an outside group called DEI Watch List and they’re basically doxxing people (mostly black people right now) they think are DEI hires. Image via @altnps.bsky.social’s FB page. Link below: www.yahoo.com/news/federal...

Several people have asked if anyone has done a survival guide for federal employees — a collection of resources, links, advice, etc. If not hopefully some people knowledgeable about federal employee rights will do it.

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Feels like a 12 hour TikTok ban got a lot more attention than a permanent ban on gender-affirming care for teens

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
