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

Democrats should not vote for a continuing resolution without language mandating the release of military aid to Ukraine. Because a Putin stooge is in the White House, and the GOP is in his thrall, Ds in Congress are the only backstop against the U.S. becoming an agent of Russia.

In 2013, Trump tweeted that he wanted to be best friends with Putin. Nothing that happened today is a surprise. Trump has been looking to be Putin‘s wing man for a dozen years. This afternoon, he demonstrated his love for that tyrannical thug.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

NEW: Voice of America is in upheaval. Journalists are facing HR investigations for comments critical of Trump. One of VOA's highest-profile journalists was put on leave today after a Trump aide called him a traitor. And the White House bureau chief was reassigned. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

This would not be the first time that Musk turned off Star link on Ukraine. Ukraine was conducting a major attack on Russian ships when their drones lost contact because the network was disabled on them by Musk.

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.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

Wherever you live in North Carolina, Trump’s action matters. Hundreds of water systems in the state were found to have elevated levels of PFAS in 2024. It’s estimated that nearly half of the nation’s tap water has PFAS in it. cardinalpine.com/2025/01/28/t...

If the FBI gets purged of almost all of its agents, they will be replaced. The current vetting process for agents is onerous. But that can be changed, and there’s really nothing stopping a director from handing every Jan. 6 pardonee, or any other yahoo, a badge and a gun (and TS clearance)

Trump is canceling flights for Afghan allies who were already cleared, leaving them to face the Taliban's brutal revenge. These brave individuals stood shoulder to shoulder with our Troops—we owe it to them to stand up and #TakeThemToo. We don’t abandon those who served!

The Trump Administration has officially closed the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. This is a crushing blow to all the significant and historic work we've made over the last 4 years. Biden's work on guns has saved thousands of lives- the Trump admin is trying to reverse that.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

So, if understand the circumstances and this reporting correctly, the inference to be drawn is that a former Alito clerk asked to have Trump call Alito so Trump could be assured that the clerk would be loyal to Trump despite the clerk’s having worked for … {checks notes} … Bill Barr??
