So a no duh, but deserves a comment. IRS employees are the people who fund the GOV, by collecting your tax dollars. Money collected that funds Social Security Medicare Medicaid Defense Foreign Policy (State USAID) Veterans Administration and Healthcare You fire us, the gov doesn't work.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

The energy Rep. John Larson brought this morning is exactly right. Republicans keep voting NO on holding Elon Musk accountable to the American people. Why?

Vaccines do not cause autism. If you need a quick reference to studies that disprove this relationship: Commentary, how we got here: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Meta-analysis synthesizing the results from studies on almost 1.3 million children: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Is it obedience or agreement? Jon Stewart and Nobel Peace Prize winner @mariaressa.bsky.social on how Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk have played into the country’s authoritarian slide. #TheWeeklyShow #politics

Now I did prefer the flavor of fast food fries when they were fried in lard,but yeah, being on atorvaststin in my rapidly approaching elder years, I'm with the nutritionists on this one. This worm brained imbecile is going to be responsible for so much morbidity and mortality.

The very important thing for scientists to take from this: The public campaign to defend science is working! It is harming Trump. He sees that it is effective. And that is why he brought a kid with cancer to this speech. This is a sign of their vulnerability to public opinion. 🧪

IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Hundreds of workers at the CDC. More than 1,000 at the NIH. Scores of staffers at the FDA. Trump’s purge of federal employees includes those doing lifesaving work. Many of them expressed fear at what would happen to the projects they left behind. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social & @deldeib.bsky.social

Last night, my colleagues and I told Trump’s Education Dept. to scrap its Feb. 14 threat to yank federal funding from schools with DEIA programs. Bullying isn’t a policy—it’s just cowardly.

Just saying.

Finally…someone is doing something. 🥳

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

Democrats, this is worth thinking about. Bubba Has the Answers for Dems in Despair www.thebulwark.com/p/bubba-has-...

This is how it’s done.

I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed. I promise you though, there are far more people who want to do what's right than not. If we stand together we will prevail.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Last week, Elon Musk's staff illegally breached the U.S. Treasury payment system and gained access to millions of Americans' personal data. We're calling out Elon Musk to put on his big boy pants and answer some questions from the Oversight Committee. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvv-...

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

NEW: Judge AliKhan blocks Trump's funding freeze (for now), ordering OMB to instruct all federal agencies that received the original memo that they must reinstate any stopped payments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
