Trying to imagine if Trump told America, "Maybe you don't need 30 guns, maybe 2 guns."

Uh, ok, we’re on like the 4th iteration of this and wtf is going on?

new gender neutral greeting just dropped

President Donald Trump falsely claimed Tuesday that he warned during his 2024 campaign that his tariffs would require Americans to experience a “transition period.”

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

Brian Gibbs had no clue Friday would be his last day at his dream job. The education technician park ranger at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa reported to work, only to be terminated on despite receiving an exceptional performance evaluation in the fall.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

The Trump administration removed two top USAID security officials over the weekend after they tried to stop representatives from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from gaining access to restricted parts of the building reut.rs/4hmspfa

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Wait pregnant people are the enemy now?

Exclusive: Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the US government human resources agency locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials reut.rs/3CuCEPs

Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.

What's the government trying to hide from you, conspiracy theorists? 🤔

the discourse

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!
