@booker.senate.gov hey, thanks for fitting in some time to cheer while you’re shirking your responsibilities to the American people and not upholding your oath to the constitution.

I 💗 NPR so no shade, but I am glad that the media has finally 👏👏👏👏 picked up what we’ve been laying down for at least a week (?? Hell if I know - all I know is that it feels like day #9999 of this regime but it’s only actually like day 29 or something) www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

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.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

I love it when an org sends out their “thanks but no thanks” emails re: conference/journal proposals at 7am on a Monday. Just really sets a nice tone for the week. What else will we be rejected from this week? 😂

It's not just government employees. Universities and private research labs are reeling from the effects of grant freezes and uncertainty in the flow of science funding. It could take decades to get back to where we were with the states of science.

I never forget that we’re in a constitutional crisis/coup and that Elon Musk and Trump are the cause of it. In the face of Congressional cowardice, going to start working the Tesla angle hard.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

I know there is some anxiety around how to protect yourself in light of Muskrat and his herd of shitler youth getting their hands on all our personal information so here are the steps you can take to protect yourself. I’ve seen these in various threads but thought it worth putting them together🧵 1/?

FYI all of the viral images government spending that “DOGE HAS UNCOVERED” is actually from www.usaspending.gov a website that Obama signed into law in 2014 that has always been accessible to the public.
