This is why a term isn’t only 4 years There will be no recovery 🧪 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

US taxpayer money should not be used to buy crypto so Trump can enrich himself, family, & friends. Yet again, America needs Republicans in Congress to step up, show some courage, and denounce this scheme. Instead, they will remain silent and propose another bill to honor Trump.

This may be a stupid question or idea - but does anyone think there could be legal grounds to bring a class action suit against Musky, who has all our personal information without any formal authorization? Chime in, especially if you are a lawyer!

Federal Aviaition Authority is told to find money to pay for Musk's Starlink. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

Amidst everything, I still can't believe they didn't exempt Canadian oil. They literally built a "higher gas prices" button and pushed it. They acknowledged it was a bad idea to put tariffs on it but decided to do 10% instead of 0. They literally built a "higher gas prices" button and pushed it!

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

Bill banning mRNA vaccines in Iowa passes subcommittee

The week-long Amazon boycott starts THIS FRIDAY. (Although forever is better...) Just a reminder that we ARE having an impact. #BoycottAmazon #AmazonBoycott Link to invite your friends: www.facebook.com/events/13171...

Keep it going! #TeslaTakedown

We are firing Rangers at National Parks, scientists & aid workers that treat/prevent/research disease and feed the poor, & disabled vets helping fellow vets at VA hospitals, but the good news is we are going to buy a shit ton of crypto so Trump & his friends can make billions.

The US has become a lawless Country Governed by a Crime Syndicate.

He skis like shit.

Russia takes a victory lap... www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/03/02/k...

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

... And the very next day they announce that anti-money laundering rules are being scrapped. P.O.N.Z.I.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

this actually makes my stomach sink with dread, because it has to be very very very very bad for the grifter to say this

To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing. The public has a right to know who is dismantling the government. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I don't think this has received enough attention yet www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

The thing that everyone thinks is nuts, but I absolutely think would work: a presentation that looked like an Apple keynote product launch, but for all the cool shit that the government makes for people. Cancer treatments, national parks, space discoveries, free tax filing, cool new airports.

A most sincere quote for members of the current administration...

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

Dr Seuss in 1941 knew what was going on.

Exactly. If the Democrats had a real war room, that would have happened.

Yup.

Seems like a pretty important detail

Let this sink in. NPR has a smaller budget than Space.

The first GOP Senator? Hopefully not the last.

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Horrific: One of the USAID programs Trump just terminated was set to deliver lifesaving treatment to hundreds of thousands of starving kids abroad. Much of it is now sitting in a Georgia warehouse. Rubio's promise to preserve urgent assistance was a lie. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1921...
