Multiple probationary IRS employees in Richmond received news Thursday afternoon that their jobs were being eliminated as part of broader federal workforce cuts. The exact number of affected employees is unconfirmed, sources indicate probationary workers across several departments were impacted.

Nice try, but Donald Trump can't fool us. 1: Trump's executive order does nothing to expand access to IVF. 2: If Republicans actually cared about IVF, they wouldn't have blocked legislation MULTIPLE TIMES that WOULD have made IVF more accessible and affordable for families.

Are you a federal employee, contractor, or other worker in the DC area who's been illegally fired or whose job is in limbo because of Elon Musk? Come to the Senate to meet others in the same boat and share your story with Senate offices. We meet every day at 10am.

Important article. This center was taking new approaches to studying Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Everyone who knows someone with dementia is being hurt by Trump’s cuts to medical research. 🧪

Remember this when Trump talks about wildfires. The US Forest Service needed more staff, not less.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

Has your member of Congress: -demanded Bondi/Bove resign or be fired? -put a hold on DoJ nominees - including Ed Martin, who has now been nominated for DC US Attorney? -announced they'll hold hearings, official or field, to let the growing number of purged prosecutors speak?

Presidents’ Day falls during #BlackHistoryMonth, and the #BHM2025 theme focuses on labor. Today is a good day to learn about the over 300 known enslaved men, women and children who built and staffed the White House. Their story is part of the fabric of American history.

This is why I laugh when people say the media supports fascists for clicks. That is not it. It’s because ownership is ideologically aligned with fascism.

16th day of Black History Month quote from Mr Baldwin is one I think applies to the last week, given what we witnessed in Europe. The ignorance of those who spoke for the current admin was on full display for the entire world. Walk back of ill timed statements, the lies, undermined negotiations…

Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites *acting* like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
