Veterans Housing Education Energy Small Business These are the agencies Elon Musk is actively gutting. Firing thousands—while he rakes in federal contracts and the GOP prepares a massive tax break for the ultra rich. This is not government efficiency. This is a heist.

Let me get this straight - now that people see what’s really going on - Elon Musk is suddenly not part of DOGE. 🤔 This is the problem with unchecked power and billionaires in charge.

As physicians we pay a lot of taxes (more than Elon and Trump and Bezos!), but we don’t mind if the $$ is being spent on education, infrastructure, and healthcare. Because as physicians, we care for the welfare of other humans. #Medsky

open.substack.com/pub/cyberint... Not sure how many will see this, but this article is well written and close enough to layman’s terms to follow. The potential for current and future data breaches of our agencies, including nuclear arsenals and payment systems, in addition to our own data is high.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

@warren.senate.gov I appreciate all you’re doing to combat the insanity going on right now. I wanted to share this article from Military.com, since combatting fraud is a strength of yours. This is correctly identified as a tax on troops for food with excess funds going elsewhere. bit.ly/4gRrIJy

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

I wonder what would happen if @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov asked GAO to investigate whether DOGE's "receipts" claiming savings amounts to fraud. Honestly, it's the only fraud found so far. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
