Thanks @crookedkir.bsky.social

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"Laboratories in a national network of 58 facilities responding to the spread of bird flu were notified Friday that 25 percent of the staff in a central program office coordinating their work were fired" Emerging 4th world country in North America! www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

They're "interpreting the guidance to apply to anything that deals with diversity, inclusion or equity, and anything that could be perceived to promote one group over another [...] That would include any books that mention slavery, the civil rights movement or the treatment of Native Americans."

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?

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

"Even cutting 1 in every 4 government workers would only reduce federal spending by about 1 percent..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Very important! Schools are under attack. Get the plan to fight back.

This is a great piece.

So stupid!

"We plan our year based on certain costs," Wright said. "Uncertainty makes it difficult. The last time tariffs were imposed, they lasted just 24 hours. Now, we don’t know what to expect." www.tmj4.com/news/milwauk...

People who have served this country should never have to fear the country taking away their benefits/making it harder to access them. Any attack on veterans' benefits is a betrayal of the contract between those who served and a government that has an obligation to compensate them for that service.

I.just.can't.
