“Shoot, aim, ready.” Reckless Trump administration officials fired over 300 National Nuclear Security Administration employees, including those overseeing our nuclear arsenal. Now they’re trying to get them to come back. We have 1435 days left of this shitshow!

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
