Angelo Carusone Media Matters @goangelo.bsky.social just said on MSNBC Nicole Wallace that one of the elements of Project 2025 is a plan to kill all the wild horses in the USA. I had to go look this up and this is what I found. They plan a horrific future for wild horses and burros. Call Congress.

How does having trained staff at places like DHS, DOEd, DHHS, & DOC protect Americans? Without them, we couldn't fight child abuse, prosecute CSAM traffickers, & prevent early deaths. Your federal government is a cooperative of highly skilled, dedicated citizens who work to protect kids everyday.

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed. This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they don’t participate in DEI. So it’s not just the feds, it’s any private biz that contracts with the feds. Here’s the message they got:

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.
