So... I want to try to articulate some thoughts that have been forming in my head the past few days. They're still coming together (which I know is risky #onhere) but I feel like I want to "talk" through them.... (1/)

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

It is so important to track things like this. With Trump in charge, lots of institutions are rolling back promises because they sense a change in the wind. We need to show them they are WILDLY misjudging.

Fannie Lou Hamer was raised in a family of sharecroppers, becoming one herself. She was beaten & arrested for attempting to register to vote & fired from her job. She toured the country speaking out in support of civil rights, founded the MS Freedom Democratic Party, ran for Congress & more.

New, from me: DOGE's mass firings of probationary employees are a masterclass in how not to manage public organizations. They don’t have a plan to fix what they are breaking because they don’t understand or care about the damage they are doing. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-misma...

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

THIS IS SERIOUS: Republicans want to gut healthcare from millions of kids, seniors, and disabled people—all to fund $4.5T in tax cuts for billionaires. Not just numbers on a spreadsheet—kids losing inhalers, babies missing checkups, parents choosing between food and medicine. Hands Off My Medicaid

While Trump is focusing on the Gulf of Mexico and Gaza, the cost of eggs is skyrocketing. How long will it take people to see that he doesn’t work for us?!

The WI state Supreme Court race on 4/1 will determine the balance of power on the WI court, which will decide cases on voting rights, re-districting, abortion rights & more. It’s imperative that we VOTE for Susan Crawford on 4/1 for the state Supreme Court who will uphold the law and constitution!

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X. This agency has saved Americans billions. DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Where is the letter from the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia to these doxed health care professionals indicating “laws are being broken” and that he is referring this to the FBI and other Federal investigators?
