I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Under the Republican budget plan, the 34,000 people in my district who get coverage through the Affordable Care Act would see their average premium go up by $1,550 per year. Republicans are fighting to make your health care more expensive.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

When & how will Musk be stopped? It is insane that the richest man in the world is cutting financing of the poor in the world and the US in order to cut extract even more money from the US government & not paying taxes. Wake up!

From the moment Silicon Valley exploded in the 1990s, its leading denizens have subscribed to a kind of techno-chauvinism: a belief that only engineers know how to solve the problems of humankind, and if you work for the government, then you can’t be very smart www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

At present, the GOP is committing harakiri. It has abandoned its ideology. It only serves Trump in his service of Putin & maximum tax cuts for billionaires. The GOP no longer cares about the US. This will cost the GOP dearly.

This isn’t about cutting costs or efficiency. Republicans are willing to rip away healthcare from 20 million low-income families to pay for an extension of the 2017 tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest Americans.

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers. I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.

Remember when Trump and Republicans said they were going to lower prices on day one? We’re almost one month into the Trump presidency, and he has done NOTHING to reduce costs for America’s poor and working families — in fact, his policies are actually increasing costs.

🚨BREAKING: While targeting federal education contracts, Elon Musk just scored a new deal for more government cash, according to documents reviewed by The Lever. The new "supplemental agreement" adds millions to SpaceX's already huge $3.9 billion deal.

🚨NEWS: The Lever has unearthed a White House memo from John Roberts saying that presidents may not fire appointees at independent federal agencies. Trump's DOJ just announced it will ask the Supreme Court to authorize a firing spree - setting up a showdown.

Good news: after we raised the alarm, DOGE has been blocked from accessing sensitive Department of Education data. Your Social Security number, income data, and personal information are safe for now. We will keep fighting back.

Truly wild to see how Trump is playing second fiddle to Elon Musk. Musk is clearly acting as the de-facto president while Trump just fires off social media posts as if he is Musk's assistant.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

For anyone who suddenly claims concern about the national debt -- and claims Trump and Musk are doing something about it: The president who added the single biggest amount to the national debt ever in US history, $8.8 TRILLION? Donald Trump.

Musk has given DOGE engineers barely old enough to buy beer—and with ZERO government experience—free rein over the Treasury Dept. Now they want to access data in the Dept of Labor, National Institutes of Health, and even the FAA. SIGN HERE to tell Congress to kick these bozos out of government!👇

I guess it’s outrageous that the American people want to know who is inside the government seeking to dismantle it and gain access to their data and a host of other sensitive info. We aren’t allowed to know who they are? Why not?

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.
