Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades. With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Surreal to watch Trump and Vance so thoroughly humiliate themselves and give the rest of the world the final motivation they need to unite against the Putin surrogacy. It’s so shocking!

I have seen almost nothing assessing the scale of the impact of the wrecking of the USPS, if it goes through. But it would mess with voting by mail, prescriptions by mail, so many small and large businesses, how a lot of daily life now runs. Good for the NALC workers.

Election security is national security. And in its crusade against federal agencies, the Trump administration is gutting parts of the government that help protect against cyberattacks, combat foreign interference, and regulate campaign finance in federal elections.

No lie, my interest and affection for experimental animation and ambient/environmental music absolutely starts with being a Sesame Street kid. Conservatives have hated it since its inception for precisely that kind of opening of doors to kids who otherwise wouldn't have that.

On Audre Lorde’s birthday, I’m thinking about her Kitchen Table Press. She (second from left), Barbara Smith, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gossett came together to establish a press centering feminist and lesbians of color — and it shook the publishing industry. #bhm

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies. The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

This will be played as an attack on universities and research and rightly so—it is—but someone on this list might save your life or that of someone you know if they could keep working. Many will die who didn’t need to if the cuts stand.

Remove random keys from all the keyboards. Stack all the chairs into a single conference room, lock it and jam gum into the lock. Wait until they're inside the parking garage then lower the gate and secure it. Let the air out of their tires. Shove some dead fish into their tailpipe.
