Private enterprise mostly cuts senior employees first when having to cost cut but Musk is doing the opposite in many government agencies and cancelling the probationary young workers so there is no meaty redundancy payout.It will backfire as young blood needs to be constantly filling the ranks up 1/

America is made up of great people the despair comes from the greatest country in the world railroading itself into disaster, I believe it will rise above this and come back strong but not without reaching a very low place and permanent scars

You sit back and hope enough Republicans and institutions are brave enough to stop autocracy from gaining a foothold ,it's the fear of the unknown and the realisation that so much control has been taken out of the average Americans hands that is depressing

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

All crypto is fundamentally a scam, they invested a ton of money to elect a guy who would allow them to scam more, and he is running the biggest scam of all himself as a result. Congrats to all. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/u...
