As Elon demands justifications from all federal workers (including many who are not Executive Branch employees), remember that if he paid his taxes, it'd pay for 677K federal jobs.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

Reminder: We’re less than three weeks away from a government shutdown. Yet instead of passing bills to keep the government open, Republicans are kowtowing to Trump’s unconstitutional actions and pushing a budget that is just one giant tax cut for the richest of the rich.

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? The new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up.

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

Remember when Trump/Musk said they cut $8 billion in spending, but really it was only $8 million. How are we supposed to trust these people when they can’t even count their zeros?

Firings, funding cuts, and fuckery are going to wipe out science trainees. Without adequate funding, students will not be able to be trained in labs. Programs designed to train public health leaders are being quashed. Graduate programs are concerned about how many students they can even accept.
