The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

I just spoke with an attorney who works with the NOAA, and there is a valid path to shut down what's happening. The agencies are compromised, the IGs are fired, etc. We need a state AG (she said NY would be best) to file a lawsuit seeking an injunction using state and federal cybersecurity laws.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Andy Biggs helped plan January 6, according to Ali Alexander. He should be in federal prison, probably for the rest of his natural life. But Merrick Garland had to play politics first, so instead tens of millions of workers will lose all safety protections at work. That the size of it, basically?

You’re going to see some news articles saying THOUSANDS of feds are resigning. Um. Ya. We do data. We know what 1% of 3 million looks like. And it's a damn sight smaller than 10%. Keep it up people! As Trump installs his amoral henchmen the American people need us more than ever. Hold the line.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

This isn't a fight that will be settled in the halls of Congress. The oligarchs own GOP Congress. This is a fight that will be settled in the streets. Democrats, Republicans, disillusioned MAGA & independents locking arms. Give GOP Congress something to fear more than the oligarchs. The people.

Trump used the last four years to turn the GOP into an anti-democratic war machine. And he is not done wreaking havoc. That is the stark reality we face. If we truly care about the future of free and fair elections, we must take the threat Trump poses to our elections literally and seriously.
