"We cannot have a viable political system that relies on extraordinarily brave people—because there aren’t enough of them." Don't underestimate the intimidation factor in Republican acquiescence.

OPM did not reply shortly. In fact, it didn’t reply to retired Navy captain and FEMA official Scott Curtis at all. Instead the acting deputy regional administrator called Curtis to inform him that his job was being terminated. New from @samsteindc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

What a jerk. Yes, MAGA, you don't have good jobs because of DEI - not because of greedy executives who are plundering companies for their own personal gain. fortune.com/2025/02/21/m...

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

@raskin.house.gov gives advice to fired federal workers: "Federal workers need to stay in very close touch with their unions and with the litigation that's going on, because we're wining in almost every case. In more than a dozen cases, there have been TROs and PIs issued against the Trump admin."

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”, 89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety. I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love? Infants you love? Just us Libs right?

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

I'm seeing a lot of Idaho people on Facebook cheering as their fellow Idahoans lose their federal jobs. Is it wrong that I am hoping they're hit by the next executive order?

Elon Musk has now set his sights on the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox, insisting on personally ensuring the gold remains intact. The vault was last opened to journalists and a congressional delegation in 1974.

DOGE gutted the USDA’s bird flu team—then fired nuclear safety experts. Now they’re scrambling to rehire them. There’s a difference between using a chisel to refine and a sledgehammer to demolish. Cutting waste is smart—gutting critical roles then backtracking isn’t leadership, it’s reckless. 🔁❤️🔔
