More corruption

This is why we need independent media outlets funded by the public. Our Byline Times story is still available to read despite attempts to suppress it.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

They should give Canada custody of California for winning this game tbh

They tell themselves it can’t happen here. That the courts will save us, that institutions will hold, that this is just another election. But history doesn’t wake the sleepwalkers gently. It shatters them.

GOAT

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Another day (not) at the office.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

FFS! 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

This is a real thing. FML www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

www.wfmz.com/news/nationa... Have you ever seen such bullsh*t?

Elon Musk is a freeloader

Trump seems to be calling out out a lot of journalists lately, saying they should be fired. Today he went after Eugene Robinson.

WTH is this?

Senile old man

The biggest lesson the US is going to have to learn is that nobody is coming to help, this is a lesson every country in the world has learned. This is your fight. Every country you know will continue to make deals with Trump, unless you put up mass resistance and show the world you do not consent.

We’re now being withdrawn from the Human Rights Council and ultimately from The United Nations

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Call your senators today! No to Kash Patel. No to Elon Musk destroying agencies and breaking into our Treasury system. 202-224-3121

Hey. Here are the names of the unauthorized dudes who are creeping into government computers: The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. These are the DOGE boys.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Dem leaders need to start holding national security press conferences explaining to Americans how Elon and Trump are dismantling agencies and seeking sensitive information on federal workers and all Americans. What Elon and co are doing will endanger everything from flying to attacks in U.S.

Trump's tariffs equate to at least a $2,000 tax increase per US household, it’s a new tax increase without the benefits or representation.

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

This would be a good time for all the Republican Senators, Representatives, Governors, State AGs, and Judges I've heard say how pro-law enforcement they are during the course of my career to speak up.
