“…contact between the CDC, WHO, FDA and NIH has stopped. So, any international sharing of critical info on outbreaks and research has stopped.” (we’re going to die)

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

My dad's friend at the CDC just got fired. He was a lead on the nation's bird flu response. Unbelievable resume and experience - just tossed out.

As a former CFO I can tell you that the DOGE Muskrats don't know Excel!

Trying to find the right analogy here, but this is kind of like taking away Microsoft Word from college English majors.

How many drones would Russia launch if Ukraine tried to hold elections? You can’t have free and fair elections during a war. Calling Zelenskyy a dictator is disgusting.

This is absolutely true and I didn't know about it until my Air Force buddy told me about it today. Bases would cease to function if probationary citizen employees were all canned.

If the prices are high at Starbucks consumers are free to shop somewhere else. If they can't then file a monopoly/anti-trust action, not this misogynistic bullshit.

A friend told me yesterday, "If they don't hold the midterms then we will know to leave the country." She was dead serious on leaving. And she is right.

@muellershewrote.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov If the February jobs number is anything but negative we will know the gig is up.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

There are contracts won by Women-owned businesses (WBENC) and Veteran-owned businesses that I'm sure are being cancelled as they can get a tie-breaker, all other things being equal. www.wbenc.org/certificatio...

At one of my old jobs we found an immigrant was using a SSN of an 80-year old lady in Kansas. All of the taxes he paid went to HER benefits. This is not the problem they think it is!

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

The Kennedy Center has issued a statement in response to Trump’s deranged post about making himself the chairman. “There is nothing in the Center’s statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members; however, this would be the first time such action has been taken.”

Do you really believe Congress will be able to pass a budget to fund the government after March 14th? The Treasury depends on 'extraordinary measures' to keep essential services going if there is a shutdown. Will those measures be available after DOGE gained control? @murray.senate.gov

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?
