Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

How do we find the balance between staying informed and reading a constant stream of bad news? Well I’ve conducted an experiment where I’ve read nothing but bad news for days in the hopes of reaching the end of the bad news. Goal not achieved, I continue onwards.

An important piece by @dahlialithwick.bsky.social and @mjsdc.bsky.social There is so much sneering at 'leftists' right now as if the urgency, terror and frustrations with Dem leadership are performative. Real harms are happening to real people as we speak. Maybe just not to you.

In a very real sense, the United States became detached from the rule of law today. Is this what Chief Justice Roberts meant by “a president acting boldly?” Because the person acting boldly as president is a foreign born oligarch who is purging the government with zero elected authority.
