Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

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

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

In Colorado, we support freedom, and we will not cater to a brutal Russian dictator who is no friend to America, our interests, or our future. America plays a crucial role in supporting our international allies and protecting democracy abroad; Colorado continues to stand with Ukraine.

It was great to talk today with UFCW Local 7 in CO who recently ended a 12-day strike involving 10,000 King Soopers workers. Kroger: it’s time to do what’s right. Negotiate a fair contract with your workers. Stop ripping off consumers with high prices at your grocery stores.

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’ I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI. We are so effed.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.
