I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

How much has the layoffs at the federal level by DOGE added to the UNEMPLOYMENT RATE? Right now the unemployment rate is an historically low 4%, and 6.85 million are unemployed. Each 150,000 who lose their jobs adds 0.1% to the unemployment rate. Expect the UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO RISE in FEBRUARY

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.

I've had a lot of conversations about impeachment with a lot of people. Most people outside DC get it but inside DC I get a lot of "Oh no one is there yet. No one is going to do it." But you know what I never hear? No one wants this and no one thinks it is needed. Literally EVERYONE wants it.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Elon Musk is an existential threat to the United States of America. This is now both a constitutional crisis and a national security crisis. As a citizen, my power is limited, but I do have the power to act. I am protesting outside OPM today from 3-5pm. Please join us.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”
