@11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social For years Trump said Biden job numbers were fake. And we know all their accusations are confessions. Now the same month 250k Fed workers lose their jobs, the workforce grows? Please explain.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

I know that especially now, facts don't matter. Then I see that undocuworkers paid $96 BILLION in taxes in 2022 while Fortune 500 companies got billions in subsidies. I wish facts did matter. The receipts are in plain view. It's infuriating. americansfortaxfairness.org/undocumented...

Our first week post-"deletion" was a whirlwind: we're still catching up on the headlines. Thank you to the journalists working to shed light on our story—and the stories of many thousands of federal workers like us. 🗞️

As Trump likes to confess-by-accusing, he's running the MOST CORRUPT Administration ever. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social breaks down just one of the scams this week on his Substack: crypto. open.substack.com/pub/chrismur...

Love the Fri Nightcap on @11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social as usual. But what the regime is canceling for the federal workforce are policies called DEIA not DEI. A = accessibility. Don't give them a pass on them trying to end accessibility.

@stephruhle.bsky.social @11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social this is the sort of move that makes clear what a scam DOGE is. Have one of these fired nerds on the show to explain what USDS & 18F did before the "gut and stuff" to create DOGE. They were transforming govt. Of course they had to go.

This is the actual Wall of Receipts from the bullies at DOGE: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/h... The list of cancellations of US AID programs that helped hundreds of thousands of people across the world by buying things from US companies. At a cost of 1 cent for every dollar we paid in taxes.

We don’t admit people to the hospital for quarantining. They can do that at home. The many kids admitted to the hospital in Lubbock have severe respiratory complications from measles. Stunning ignorance from highest health official, embarrassing really.

What a disappointing appearance by @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on @maddow.msnbc.com. How dare you invoke John Lewis as part of a long answer where you talk about what everyone else is doing to counter this chaos while you "lead" the party. If you want to see a leader, follow @aoc.bsky.social

I save up recordings of @11thhourmsnbc.bsky.social to watch over the weekend to make sense of it all. So three days later: On Wed night Stephanie said, "these tech bros could improve gov if they wanted" but then why eviscerate USDS??!! Make people smarter and explain what USDS was.

I decided I wanted to call the #WhiteHouse comment line bc why not? They can get a piece of my mind. But their switchboard is only "open" 11 to 3. And they're no way to leave a message. Are they all out golfing?

It's horrifying that a handful of people who "don't know what they don't know" are taking a bulldozer to federal systems that we all rely on. Oh, and then are the biggest liars about it, making up stories where they're the hero instead of the obvious villain. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Emily Tavoulareas helped found the US Digital Service at the Department of Veterans Affairs. She says the US DOGE team understands tech isn’t just about websites and apps—it’s the foundation of everything the government does. And now, they hold the reins. But to what end?

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Fun fact: one of the 1st actions of the Obama admin was the memo on Transparency & Open Government. It was driven by the stated belief that “information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset.” obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-of...

This AM we were late to kindergarten. I saw the principal in the hall and was prepared to hang my head in shame. She said good morning, had my child had breakfast? Holding a tray with some little muffins on it. I wanted to throw my arms around her. #leadership #PS456 #NYC

That Trump offered white South Africans "refugee" status & resettlement in U.S. while deporting brown people escaping violence, & telling Palestinians to find a new home--but not in the U.S.--tells you everything you need to know about the white supremacist plan. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I was watching the universal fawning on Fox News for the DOGE tech-based coup this AM, and I was wondering how Fox viewers will reconcile the unwavering "everything is awesome" theme as different industries and services they rely on for daily life get disrupted.

This coup depends on #disinformation. This is the time to question everything that's offered up easily in search engine results or social. Don't just read headlines then react or hit share. There's too much manipulation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
