Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

The two men cutting flight safety never fly commercial.

This is fascism.

I remember when Attorney General Pam Bondi said she'd protect federal whistleblowers in her confirmation hearing. Now they're being threatened with illegal "discipline, including dismissal."

In 2023, three states passed laws to prevent utilities from charging customers for lobbying, advertising, and other political influence activities. Customers have already saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

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.

“This budget rips health care away from millions while handing out $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires and wealthy corporations. It slashes $230 billion from food assistance programs and $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.” 🤦‍♀️ www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

ATTN: Probationary federal workers who have been fired, please read: federalworkerrights.com/2025/02/13/m...

The Mack truck Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are driving through the government as we know it is fueled by some stories that aren’t true, but fester anyway. Shocking that the guy lies about everything and the biggest spreader of misinformation on X are lying. www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/p...

I'm old enough to remember when Google's motto was "Don't be Evil". How times have changed.

Stand Up for Science rallies will be held in DC and state capitals on March 7th. Share with friends. Sign-up here to get email updates with details: www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...

Because you're stupid and choose to stay that way.

Yeah. No. That’s not how that works…

Some good trouble. Enjoy!

We’re done here. Right?

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

1/ The medical community is fighting back! In the Doctors for America lawsuit in DC, a judge has just ordered that at least for now, HHS, CDC, & FDA must restore public health webpages taken down. by midnight tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i am mostly ignoring Nancy Mace these days because the thing she wants more than anything is attention but i will just note that her signature move during the presidential campaign was claiming women who allege they were assaulted are liars

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Yes he is.

In a sweeping purge today, Trump dismissed of the entire boards of four military services academies for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, claiming "Our Service Academies have been infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues."

How does this improve your life?

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

I'm predicting the longest, loudest sustained BOOS in the history of sports if they show trump's ugly orange mug on the screen during the Super Bowl today. Seriously, fuck that asshole.

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders
