This has no purpose other than to break our national capacity for public health & outbreak response by the most cruel, insulting, & inhumane means available. To all my colleagues: I don't believe these claims. Thank you for your public service. To DOGE: Fuck you for your public disservice.

Dear federal workers, I'm sorry for all this BS. You don't deserve this treatment. If you were a National Park Service worker who was just laid off, I am eager to hear about the good work you were doing + why you worked at NPS. Anonymous or not. On Signal: jbendery.41 Email: [email protected]

They haven’t saved anything. They’ve made cuts to programs citizens rely on for safety, education, and meaningful human lives.

@raskin.house.gov: "In that network of rightwing billionaire libertarian-turned-authoritarians, they are very open about the fact that they think democracy is obsolete, we're living in a post-Constitutional America, and they are trying to get everyone ready for a technostate monarchy."

Here at the Health & Human Services (HHS) rally in Washington, DC, to support our federal workers! Interesting chant from the crowd. “Hey, hey, RFK! We remember JFK!” Rep. Jamie Raskin spoke first and compared JFK’s championing of science & human rights to RFK’s anti-science stance.

Another flagrantly illegal move here. There is no authority in the INA that permits a blanket suspension of processing of certain applicants.

Assuming Rs don't succeed in installing Trump as Holy Roman Emperor of America, we will actually need to rebuild all of this state capacity once he's gone. A plausible mid-term future involves much higher pay and stronger protections for civil servants to convince anyone to work for us again.

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Remember folks, Trump isn't associated with Project 2025. The fact that everything happening directly and precisely aligns with Project 2025 is purely coincidental.

This offer was made with the condition of acceptance. Some who accepted this offer were fired last week. Others accepted it without realizing that severance from RIFT, which they are now excluded from, would have provided better severance.

The justification for granting Elon Musk keys to the agency that regulates his company—that others are welcome to provide expertise as well—is like walking a fox into a hen house and saying it’s fine because you invited sheep and pigs too.

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

The DoD firings are going to be... interesting. The DoD civilians are the ones who actually keep the major functions on every base up and running. The military personnel move around so much, there's no continuity without the DoD civilians.

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

I passed by federal workers & Washingtonians — significant crossover — protesting DOGE outside of the Department of Health and human Services in Washington. I heard them singing from blocks away. I never tire of seeing my fellow Americans exercise our First Amendment rights in these civic spaces.

These are the people who have your financial records, corporate data, and classified information. DOGE is an assault on American national security and an attack on American families' financial security.

I remember one of my law professors telling us that when the first crisis hit, just after USSR has collapsed and hyperinflation ensued, he worked at a prison colony; they didn't know if they could feed the prisoners next day. Once in a while they'd get a small truck full of moldy bread. That was it.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

hey! are you doomscrolling? Small efforts can still have big impacts. Remember how good it feels to eat something when you're really hungry? The power of someone's encouragement? Or a compliment from a stranger? There are lots of things you can do to help yourself and other people. Keep going.

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
