Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

D.C., we keep on trucking. 🚚 If you are or were a federal worker, our Signal tipline is always open and actively monitored: 917-512-0201.

The Social Security Administration is telling employees internally via email that they will be undergoing a "restructuring," and offering voluntarily separation/optional retirement for everyone. This is consistent with the proposed 50% reduction in staff that we reported yesterday.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

🌱It’s time to get started - drier lint for bird nesting and baby bees out of the shed and protected until they are ready to launch!

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

#ICYMI: ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 Musk-affiliated staffers who are helping the world’s richest man dismantle or downsize federal agencies one by one.

The Washington Post pulled an ad that was set to run in some editions on Tuesday calling for Elon Musk to be fired from his role in government, a group that ordered the ad said. It would have covered the front and back pages of editions delivered to the White House, the Pentagon and Congress.

Federal workers, we recognize that this is an unpredictable time. Our team is actively pairing your tips with reporters on this list and across our newsroom to make sure you're speaking to someone with the right expertise. How to get in touch:

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

Farmers report missing millions of dollars of funding they were promised by the U.S. Agriculture Department, despite promises from the Trump administration that a federal funding freeze would not apply to projects directly benefiting individuals.

NEW: The Trump administration is not backing down in its effort to slash spending and reshape the federal government, despite multiple court orders explicitly restraining the president’s sweeping actions. By Jake Pearson and @anjeanette-damon.bsky.social

Trump is making himself Chairman of the Kennedy Center while President Musk runs the country.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

🌱I saw a robin today, what could it possibly be eating? Daytime highs teens to 34F, nighttime lows single digits to 26F.

🌱 My Phalaenopsis - 14 years old and reliably preparing to bloom! Thank you, buddy, great timing! ❤️

🌱Wow, that’s the view from your spot? How do you get any work done? Reposting to garden feed for bloomscrollers.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

@chuckschumer.com Now. Now is the time to lead. Not remark, but lead. @charlotteclymer.bsky.social
