Re: veterans fired by DOGE "They're not fit to have a job at this moment..." - Alina Habba, Trump advisor www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

Elon Musk’s staffers have been granted access to a sensitive child support database by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The data access was approved by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., despite resistance from career employees within the department. Sorry, we tried…

“Veterans will die, but we’ll course correct.”

That is exactly true.

@aoc.bsky.social: "They're saying cut $880 billion from the Energy & Commerce Committee. I sit on that committee. Almost the entire budget that Energy & Commerce explores is Medicaid and Medicare. There is no way they can make their math square without enormous and devastating cuts to Medicaid."

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

Now THIS is what I’m talking about 🔥 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Trump fuels lawsuits against his admin by confessing to Musk’s role in DOGE. SCOTUS rules against him as ACB enrages MAGA, as other courts struggle to contain him. Dems report a Trump US Attorney for ethics violations. All this and more live on Legal AF!

“By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” said an axed IRS specialist who’d been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. “This was not about saving money.” By @andykroll.bsky.social

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I don't think corporate media understands how angry America is. I rarely watch CNN or MSNBC anymore, but when I turned the former on today the mood, tone and structure was identical to 9 years ago—which means no one at the network has any idea whatsoever what's really happening in America right now.

It works until it doesn’t.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful. Most Americans don't support his agenda. There will be backlash — and we must make sure it is swift.

Elon Musk is grifting off the American taxpayers. The government waste and fraud are right here.

"I'm burning America down and making it illegal for you to complain about it."

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Hope to see you there

A fringe right wing legal theory is sweeping through the Trump administration and it threatens the very foundation of American democracy. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/61DXpmLnI2E

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

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

So we’re paying for Musk’s travel now on top of everything else. I feel violated and my anger is intense.

Mike Johnson and Elon Musk are gathering up your personal information to sell overseas while blaming you for fraud against social security.

Scrap the cap

Moments after being shown polling indicating that Trump’s favorable position toward Putin is out of step with American public opinion, Tulsi Gabbard asserts that Trump’s stance is being “celebrated” by the American public

Mexico has issued a warning to its citizens asking them not to travel to Texas & 7 states due to a measles outbreak. Mexico’s Health Secretary describes 106 cases of measles in Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas. www.borderreport.com/news/health/...

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

Every Democrat in Congress should boycott Trump’s State of the Union address — or even better, walk out as he begins speaking. #SOTU

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

Imagine if a top Biden donor, say George Soros, flew on Air Force One/Marine One WITHOUT POTUS to stay in the White House. Just imagine the rightwing meltdown. WE TAXPAYERS PAID FOR THIS ATROCITY. NO👏ONE👏VOTED👏FOR👏ELON👏!!! 🤬

"Policing your own conflicts" is not a thing. Certainly not with a known con man. MAGAs told America they were sick of corruption in government—yet we now have the most openly corrupt government we've ever had in the history of America. I'd say "make it make sense," but it doesn't and no one can.

Lift the cap.

The last time Missouri took control of St. Louis’ police force, the Civil War was underway and the state’s secessionist-leaning leaders were trying to protect slavery and prevent officers from taking up arms against the Confederacy. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

This traitor runs our national intelligence

Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent. Not anymore www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Musk is trying to end democracy in Wisconsin by corrupting the election for the state Supreme Court. It will be up to Wisconsin voters to reject him. But we can help. Donate to Susan Crawford's campaign. www.crawfordforwi.com

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
