What in the lack of Congressional Oversight is this?

We See Who Bows & Who Stands! That this was even allowed to get this far is an egregious failure of our elected officials. Make no mistake: Trump is not a king, but he is an aspiring dictator. And come election time, the people will remember who stood up to him—and who bowed. FiftyFifty.one

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Something I've now heard from federal worker constituents at several agencies: Musk and Trump's mass firings are clearing out all personnel from FOIA offices and leaving them completely empty, it sounds obviously intentional.

This is morally indefensible and strategically bankrupt. It’s just letting people die on purpose and it makes us weaker in every way.

“I believe that his abrupt firing puts the security of veterans services at risk” a source with knowledge of VA systems said. “Eliminating the person responsible for the security of veteran info on VA.gov erodes the quality of the service for the veteran. It’s reckless” www.wired.com/story/doge-u...

🚨Musk & Trump continue to break the law & recklessly harm workers as they try to destroy the federal government. Federal workers can report any wrongdoing by Trump, DOGE, or any admin official & be protected from whistleblower retaliation under US law. If you're a federal worker, #KnowYourRights.

Start paying extra attention to your bank and credit card bills. Elon fired the police of the financial services world.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

The case for X being a 1A state actor now is at least colorable. It is controlled by a government official, who uses it for government business, with no real boundary in practice between the government and his private interest in it. It is little different from if a .gov website allowed comments.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

@4taxfairness.bsky.social identified two dozen House Republicans whose 2024 margin of victory is less than the number of people who will lose their jobs, health care and food assistance under Trump's budget. Is yours one of them?

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

DOGE's funding is up to $40MM, @ProPublica.org finds And this: "If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend" www.propublica.org/article/doge...

A baseline expectation of government is the maintenance of standardized weights and measures, to the extent that kings are known as “rulers” and are often depicted with scales in their hands.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
