Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

I worked with a narcissistic bully once and the thing is… you can try to appease them for a while and be friendly and nice to try to get them to come along… But it will never be enough for them. It’s always better to just do what’s right despite them.

As @RepHarshbarger feigns ignorance about Project 2025, @RepJohnRose —pictured below with his wife, who he met when he was in his 40’s and she was a teen — openly admits Trump has “hit the ground running with it”, and lied about disavowing it 👇🏽🤷🏼‍♂️ www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Mike Johnson made competing assurances to different blocs of Republicans to get his budget plan through. But soon the House and Senate will have to unite behind a common framework — and Johnson will likely have little room to maneuver.

As Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans in Congress work to slash critical Medicaid funding, I convened a panel of health care practitioners and Medicaid recipients who explain why this program is a life-or-death necessity for millions—and critical to Maryland.

Tennessee Republicans tell this lie here also. It’s their way of excusing themselves for hiding from their constituents and cracking down on dissent. @MarshaBlackburn hasn’t had a town hall in 8 full years, because her last one didn’t go great either.

I’m sorry, but I don’t get this one… These folks in a red district are yelling “do your job” after just electing Trump for President and re-electing Ted Cruz. Maybe they should be yelling, “we fucked up”. This was a Rep. Keith Self town hall. What did his voters expect?

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
