@chrisvanhollen.bsky.social @repjohnnyo.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social This should be on the agenda in Maryland—especially featuring the local impact on federal employees and the local businesses being impacted by this chaos and dismantling the federal government.

That is 1/3 or 33% of the entire federal workforce of 2.5 million. Do they honestly think government can run without those people?

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

If you rely on fed services such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, airline safety, clean air & water, disaster response, search & rescue, or enjoy things like national parks, you really need to contact all of your congressional reps. These services are people dependent & in very real danger.

The slew of near misses and air crashes since President Trump took office aren’t just “bad luck.” Musk & Trump fired hundreds of FAA staff that keep our airways safe. “Cutting costs” should never come at the expense of public safety.

Wow. 20+ DOGE staffers just resigned en masse, saying they refuse to use their expertise to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people... However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

Every town hall should start w/ someone saying “We’re not here to listen to rhetoric. We’re here to determine whether or not you keep your job. This is your chance to lead. If you choose handwringing & “our hands are tied” then we work without you until we replace you. The mic is yours.”

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.
