Trump’s Secret Service detail fired by DOGE. Called “a complete waste of money.” Note: You didn’t take that seriously did you?

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

No notes

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

@parknet504.bsky.social Here’s a post I put on FB. I don’t know if the link will work in Bluesky: www.facebook.com/share/19xvEy...

I’m wondering if I can link to one of my FB posts here. www.facebook.com/share/19xvEy...

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are vital members of our community. They make our government actually work for people. Remember this.

Trump and Musk are basically ignoring the Constitution they--Trump, at least--took an oath to defend.

Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze. Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts. Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

BREAKING: The Associated Press reveals that Donald Trump barred their reporter from an Oval Office executive order signing event today because the AP style guide directs writers to use "Gulf of Mexico" instead of "Gulf of America." This is what MAGA is focused on instead of grocery prices.

This says it all

USAID was investigating Starlink CFPB was the agency preventing dodgy financial maneuvers like X becoming a bank Musk is systematically (and illegally) going after the agencies that constraint his business interests

Why do Trump and his billionaire bankrollers want to “delete” the CFPB? Fewer watchdogs means more opportunities for you to get scammed — leading to more money for them.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit
