Four out of 10 Americans have shifted their spending over the last few months to align with their moral views. Americans are dumping their favorite stores in a backlash against corporations that have shifted their public policies to align with Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Elon & Trump are indiscriminately laying off workers at FAA just weeks after the deadliest plane crash in over a decade—like staff who manage FAA radar. It's utterly insane and actually dangerous. They don't fly commercial, but the rest of us do. I'm demanding answers ASAP.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

“This is not a policy disagreement. This is the deliberate dismantling of democracy’s foundation. If we do not act now, if we do not resist with everything we have, the America we knew will cease to exist, and it will be replaced by a government built to serve only those who seized it.”

These stories are not from Substackers, or newsletter writers, or pundits (as wonderful and valuable as they are.) They are from the NYTimes, the WaPo, NPR and Politico, major news institutions that have the resources to investigate this. Again, I urge you, support them however you can.

We should not be cutting health care for working families to deliver massive tax breaks for billionaires. Repost if you agree.

This is incredibly dangerous!Engineers inexperienced with the systems could cause catastrophic system failures or loss of critical data (let alone the stealing of our data). This is completely unacceptable and needs to be stopped.

Donald Trump is trying to block trillions of dollars in federal funds to Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and other critical programs that keep us safe and healthy. If allowed to go into effect, this would wreak havoc across the country. Tell Congress: Trump cannot be allowed to defund our communities.

It’s heartbreaking that Trump and Musk are gutting our government, stealing our data, causing active harm to so many services and people and all they need to do is lie about it and their base celebrates, when only the billionaires will win if this continues. This is the time to get involved.

The federal government is not Twitter. It matters if Elon breaks things at the Social Security Administration. Musk has no clue what SSA employees do, nor does he care—it doesn't matter to him if you miss a Social Security Check. He belongs NOWHERE NEAR your Social Security.

Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees. NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives. My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

It is absolutely unacceptable for the Trump administration to purge the CDC of important scientific data that matters to millions of people. I refuse to let ideologues stomp out evidence-based objective research—we all need to speak out. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
