Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

NEW statement from our @jeffhauser.bsky.social calling for the impeachment of Scott Bessent: "Bessent's decision to hand the unelected Musk and his covert, unaccountable DOGE wrecking crew the keys to the federal money spigot is a blatant attack on democracy that will harm working people."

The Teamsters have endorsed Democrats for president since '96. And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?
