I have never met a federal worker who wasn’t dedicated to public service, who didn’t have the option of a more lucrative career in the private sector, and who didn’t generally care about the good use of federal funds. The DOGE narrative is a complete fiction.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

DOGE’s unprecedented attacks on federal workers are hurting working families across the country. Federal workers are members of our communities who work hard to keep our country running, but now, they fear for their jobs and their livelihoods. These are some of their stories.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Blaming Mexico for drug trafficking is like blaming DoorDash for food showing up on my doorstep.

Yup. If they have the majority let them come up with the votes for a budget and lift the debt ceiling. Zero cooperation

This “will of the people” crap from Musk is so wrong. The will of the people is invested in the House of Representatives. It’s in the name FFS.

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

These are “zero trust” systems which means poking holes in them opens the possibility of insider threats. This is the kind of basic IT security mistake the cute videos I have to watch every month at work warn against. #stopdoge

“Move fast and break things” may work for a tech startup, but it is no way to run our government. It will take decades for America to recover from this mindless mess.

Peter Navarro is so full of sh*t. Trump 1.0 bailed out farmers in the last round of tariffs. China will find other markets and we’ll end up isolated from world trade. We’re not so dominant that our absence will lead to the desired change in trade partner behavior.

Who exactly is being divided from whom in this rhetoric? Black red and brown have been divided by law for most of our nation’s history. Aren’t these subjects actually uniting what has been divided? Telling the stories of those who have been divided by law and practice to everyone undivided?

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in. Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.
