The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

DISGUSTING. Elon’s “savings” come off the backs of service-connected disabled Veteran small business owners—89% of his cuts come from canceling their contracts. Stealing from those who sacrificed for this country? It doesn’t get lower than this. MORE: www.washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...

Could you imagine being told by the government that your job, the thing that feeds your family and puts a roof over your head, covers your medical bills, saves towards your retirement, is “wasteful spending.” And so you’re fired by a billionaire?

Please, someone at OPM tally for me the number of "what I did last week" responses that just say "your mom." This is information of national importance.

Dear OPM, here’s 5 things I did last week: - Made 3 rings for the eleven kings under the sky - Made 9 for mortal men doomed to die - Made 7 for the dwarf lords in their house of stone - Made 1 ring to rule them all - Went TDY to Mordor where the shadows lie

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

DOGE is a criminal enterprise to destroy the government to empower and enrich oligarchs. Any news org that uses the term "cost cutting" to describe DOGE is complicit and should be shunned.

🚨 Gutting the CFPB isn’t just bad economics—it’s a national security risk. Scammers prey on Veterans & Servicemembers. Weakening protections makes them bigger targets. Democrats are fighting back—because protecting those who serve isn’t up for debate. MORE: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
