“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

USAID provides prosthetic limbs to soldiers injured in Ukraine. Shutting it down hurts us, our allies, and emboldens Putin and Russia. The Kremlin have already taken to social media to celebrate what Musk has done. We need to fight this.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.

Firing thousands of federal employees opens up the opportunity to create a workforce where the only criterion for being hired is your loyalty to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It's not about efficiency.

Raise your hand if you're shocked that Musk's first illegal cuts are to USAID and Lutheran Family Services--both of which provide services to refugees. The richest man in the world taking from the poorest people in the world.

The Department of Education is one of the most important institutions in our country. Its elimination will turn us back decades, with the goal of whitewashing history, normalizing slavery, J6 & erasing Pride, Juneteenth and MLK as national holidays. It’s gross negligence.

@maddow.msnbc.com I’m so happy you’re here on BS. Listening to your MSNBC show makes me a little more calm w/everything the Trump Administration is doing to our country & to the world, really. Honestly, my blood pressure has been sky high since the election, but even more so since 1/20. Thank you.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

"You idiots don't understand H-1B visas," explained the rich tech exec. "It's easier to exploit foreign workers, telling them to put in 100 hours a week or they'll get deported." "Americans think they deserve things like 'rights' and 'weekends,'" he went on. "And that's, like, really unfair to me."
