There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Thank you for sharing your story Kyle

Yes

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - the agency that helps you if you get scammed. @senatedem.bsky.social are united in defending the CFPB, which has already returned more than $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street.

Lump in my throat watching this. I have taken this oath three times. The USAID team - having been brutalized by their own government - still go out by renewing their allegiance to country and Constitution. Has Elon taken this oath? I highly doubt it. www.linkedin.com/posts/susan-...

Good morning. The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics. All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

Rep. Massie, the lone Republican NO, says the Republican budget will add $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years. They don’t care about the debt and never did. This was all a dance to get their trillions in tax cuts for the rich. (Again) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGheJx1...

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

🎯 🔥 💰 WATCH: Jon Stewart shows Trump, Elon, and their DOGE-bags where the real savings lie — in the subsidies for giant oil/gas/pharma/tech corporations aka “the worst shark tank deal in history” (cc: @mcuban ) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGgAzOl...

Elon just killed the CHIPS Act. They are killing investments in American manufacturing - the kind of investment that returns multiples for every dollar we put in. This is backwards, luddite thinking.

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.

WSJ: “DOGE touts $55 billion in cuts - WSJ counts $2 billion if spending levels remain constant, and only 2% were DEI-related… majority of cuts were research, including Alzheimer’s & traumatic brain injury and education…” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Something to note about is that this is lowkey one of the most powerful labor leaders in the country. The flight attendant union striking (which you may note was a prediction on the Schnorkles bingo card earlier) will bring shit to its knees.

Have you heard about the biggest bank heist in history? Donald Trump is trying to pull it off right now. He wants to steal 20 billion of your dollars that are already working to cut energy bills and power the clean revolution.

Here is my Federal Employment Termination story:

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

BREAKING: “Musk’s DOGE is seeking access to a heavily-guarded IRS system that includes detailed financial info about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in 🇺🇸 — sparking alarm within the tax agency.” Alarmed yet?

This is just stupid. Trump’s clown car cabinet needs to get to work and cut the red tape so farmers can do their jobs. Americans need relief at the grocery store and the lack of action is costing us everyday. ktar.com/arizona-busi...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

A key federal agency overseeing 15 million acres of public lands in California has halted some critical fire prevention work because of the massive freeze in government funding directed by Donald Trump.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

Bird flu is has infected more than 150m chickens and is starting to cross over to other animals. 68 humans have already gotten it. Hopefully it doesn't get worse, but we never know how viruses will mutate. Might be the worst time to put an anti-vaxxer in charge of health.

While they cut food & health care for the needy abroad and at home, medical research, hurt farms… all in the name of fear of a “debt emergency” they don’t understand— Trump’s tax plan adds TRILLION to the debt (again) TLDR: They don’t care about the debt www.crfb.org/blogs/trump-...

Trump’s total war on clean energy industries isn’t just damaging to our air, it’s damaging to our economy. The only things up in the Trump economy are inflation and unemployment in the auto and battery industries.
