FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

🤔

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

Nazi salute at a conference in downtown Boise.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

Yeah I keep thinking that the story of a powerful person who carelessly wrecks large numbers of ordinary people’s lives usually ends poorly

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

🚨 the email address for Federal employees to send Elon what they did this month is [email protected] It would be an absolute shame if it got flooded by emails from concerned Americans, spam, porn sites, etc. Repost

Constituents should demand their representatives have town halls in all 50 states. People are starting to voice their anger. They will show up. Hold your Senators and Reps. Accountable. They were elected by the people and they work for us. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.mediaite.com/news/town-ha...

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

Email doesn’t list that you’ll be fired if you don’t respond. Elon’s Twitter post suggests that it will be taken as a resignation. Very low likelihood this holds up.

From the Department of Education, Medicaid, the CDC, and more - Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the agencies and programs that protect Americans every single day. They are trying to cut off the lifelines that our communities rely on.

For the record, the idea of the entire federal workforce flooding an OPM email inbox with their weekly task reports is insurmountable stupid.

Man if you've prayed for the total destruction of America you couldn't be more happy these days.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

ALL of this is about making life as miserable as possible to get as many feds to quit as they possibly can. That's what's behind all this. And no, "failure to respond" cannot legally ve seen as a "resignation." That's NOT a thing.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

I've now seen Elon's weekend harassment email to federal workers. Here's what it says. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/elon-...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

DOGE staffer Gavin Kliger has amplified Nick Fuentes & called for a pardon of Derek Chauvin. As of 2/7/25, Kliger was still employed by Databricks—backed by DOGE advisor Marc Andreessen’s VC firm, which has hired Daniel Penny (recently acquitted of manslaughter re: a Black man’s death) 2/7/25 1/

Medicare will cut all telehealth coverage on April 1, putting millions—especially seniors & disabled Americans—at risk of losing critical care. Use my free, prewritten letter via Resistbot to demand Congress take action now! It’s fast, easy, and vital. Send it here: resist.bot/petitions/PB...

If you care about abortion access, voting rights, and the future of Wisconsin, you should care about the WI Supreme Court election! We can’t let conservatives who want to ban abortion and roll back our rights take control of the court. 🗳️ Vote for Judge Susan Crawford on April 1.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Judiciary employees and likely federal judges all got the "what did you do last week" email.

Breaking: A man armed with a pistol and carrying zip ties entered a Pennsylvania hospital’s intensive care unit on Saturday and took staff members hostage before he was killed by police in a shootout that also left an officer dead, authorities said.

Trump then said “we are the federal law.” No sir, you are not the federal law. Congress, not the president, writes and amends the laws of the United States. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/02/22/o...

The man who is incapable of responding to his child’s mother wants federal employees to respond to an email he sent out on a Saturday when a bunch of employees don’t have access to their emails because of security limitations. 1/

AZ AG Kris Mayes: This is a coup by Trump against our Constitution, because they are violating not only the separation of powers but also the court orders We have federal judges saying to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, “Stop this now,” and yet we believe they are violating those orders.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

Call your congressional representatives and ask them if they are Nazis. #ImpeachNazis

Here is the national abortion ban that has been introduced to House Committee! I mentioned this a few weeks ago that it was coming. This is project 2025. Full blown control on women’s bodies. The death rate will spike and so will women being charged for spontaneous abortions and having abortions!

Here’s the email everyone is getting from OPM. Embarrassing stuff.

Florida has 2 special elections coming up on April 1st that could tilt control of Congress back to Democrats, & stop Trump's Project 2025 agenda in its tracks. Please contribute to both @Gayforcongress.bsky.social & @joshweil.bsky.social’s campaigns today. This is about more than Florida! #DCFL
