Elon & Trump have unveiled the next target of their “move fast and break things” approach: air travel. What a reckless, stupid development. I’m pushing for answers and to save the jobs of already overworked air traffic controllers. This makes the flying public less safe.

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

This is a good NPR piece on the lies on which Trump's tariff attack are based. 1) Far fewer deaths than Trump and @karolineleavitt claimed 2) Almost no Canadian involvement 3) Biden already made progress on reversing it Every tariff story should start by debunking lies www.npr.org/2025/02/02/n...

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.
