DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts” is a Wall of Deception. Another stellar breakdown from @fahrenthold.bsky.social: at least 44 contracts Musk bragged about killing came back to life—costing agencies $220M. But DOGE still lists them as "terminated," padding their phony wins. Zombie lies. Zombie contracts. 🧟‍♂️

One simply awesome idea! I suggest hitting all the whitehouse & syncopant pages on Twitter. Reply to every post, with a picture of Obama and/or Biden.

Supporting Ukraine is the only sane path to ending the war in Europe. Putin will not stop the war and he has repeatedly violated every agreement they have signed. Russia cannot be trusted. They have clearly demonstrated this for the last 100 years. #SlavaUkraini

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research. RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.” Total BS.

The POTUS social account had a truly disturbing post on May the 4th today. Followers, we hope just this once you can forgive us for fighting AI with AI to fix their image. #MaytheFourth

Russian finances are deteriorating, marked by a sharp decline in oil revenue, presenting a $26.77 billion deficit. Inflation continues to rise, worsened by a manipulated ruble. Without intervention, Russia faces bankruptcy and severe economic collapse.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.
