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.

Federal workers, we recognize that this is an unpredictable time. Our team is actively pairing your tips with reporters on this list and across our newsroom to make sure you're speaking to someone with the right expertise. How to get in touch:

American excellence in education seems to have become a secondary skill.

He has no evidence that they've found anything.

I absolutely despise this guilded age incompetent administration.

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡

#Trump, #Musk, #Vought are destroying NIH; creating a rump-institution that kills research on health disparities by banning grants on words like race, gender, etc; creating a whites-only future for research by banning DEI initiatives. My latest for @thenation.com. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

NEW: Trump and Musk’s efforts to shrink the government have left the country’s wildland firefighting force unprepared for the approaching wildfire season. One federal employee likened the funding freeze to a “massive sledgehammer” hitting the force.

I am so sorry. 😔

Holy shit. This is fucking nuts.

VA fires 1000 employees. Claims it will "enable VA to redirect over $98 million annually to health care, benefits and services for VA beneficiaries." Who do these goobers think provides health care services to veterans? The Keebler elves? news.va.gov/press-room/v...

Party of free speech !

This is how you do it.

The source code for the new Department for Government Efficiency’s “official US government website” points to X as its primary source of authority while sharing links to the site sends users to x.com.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my 55 years,” says Beth Pratt, a regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation, who lives near Yosemite and is working on a book called “Yosemite Wildlife.” “Just to want to gut the Park Service? I don’t understand it.”

This is how mobsters talk.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Narrator: None of those things are his agenda.

Yep. He wants to BE Putin and do this country the same way....the American Empire with Canada, Greenland and Panama. There is only the Executive Branch and no Congress right now and that's shocking as well.

A reality is that a ton of nonprofit organizations & other facilities are laying-off a ton of people, and sometimes outright shuttering, because they still haven't received federal funding they were contractually promises. Many websites are still not up. And a lot more. All despite court orders.

This is who, 30 days ago, the Washington Post endorsed for Senate confirmation. Saying that DOJ "filed charges" intentionally misleads people into thinking DOJ took criminal action. It's just a civil lawsuit. Support @atrupar.com and independent media like him.

I am so ashamed and disgusted with the United States leadership.

Seriously, fuck this to the moon and back. Elon Musk hasn’t identified a single example of fraud or waste. He is just cancelling programs he doesn’t agree with and putting the people who deliver this Congress-approved spending out of work. Where the fuck is Congress?!

Exactly

Everyone should be pointing out what is happening at CFPB. There is zero argument to be made here that this is being done to provide taxpayer value. The agency's budget is minuscule, averaging like $600 million/year, yet it has obtained $20 billion in payments from corporations to Americans

Update: DOGE members Luke Farritor and Gavin Kilger are no longer “read only” users at the CFPB. They are now listed as domain administrators in the bureau’s system, meaning they can provide or revoke access as they see fit

Trump knee-capped the CFPB during his first term because Republicans have a religious hatred for not being allowed to scam and defraud. Elon's interest in canceling the CFBP is just icing on the cake.

aging well, sadly

He wakes up every day excited to be a sledgehammer of retribution. Consequences be dammed.

"So just to recap: Elon Musk has all of your personal confidential data, and he will not be disclosing any of his information to the American people."

The party of personal freedom.

Because those people sure have enough money to hire lawyers, doctors and therapists to fight the year of denial that is pretty standard for Social Security benefits.

Way to go Trump supporters.

Ok so WHERE are the law suites ??? Let's go.

The truth hurts.

This is how you do it .

Sociopaths have no need for arts and humanities.

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.

Love going out to Mr Pritzker.
