WCK is working with partners to provide food kits to families returning to northern Gaza. Each kit contains staples like lentils, hummus & rice, along with other essentials, enough for 57 meals. As Palestinians return to destroyed homes, these kits offer a reliable food source. #ChefsForGaza

This is a blatant attempt to destabilize the entire US government. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

this has been a frustrating thing about this — i'm just a rando with a tiny website and a social media account, doing this for free on my weekend, but all of these folks are out there and they want to tell their stories, they want these stories heard. i'm not NBC, i'm a shitposter

Twice as much funding goes to diseases that disproportionally affect men compared to those that mainly impact women. So … no?

That guy is Executive Director, Naval Sea Systems Command. He's basically the guy in charge of making sure the boats are good boats. And he has to send a frantic email out telling everybody to treat DOGE like a phishing attack.

imagine dropping a hundred large on something literally glued together

Next big protest from #50501 et al is on March 4

One thing to keep in mind about the department of government efficiency is that all any government employee is going to be doing on Monday, no matter the agency, is figuring out what’s the deal with this dumb fucking email.

It's always who you most suspect. www.joemygod.com/2025/02/wa-p...

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

Physicians at the VA received these as well.

FBI Director Kash Patel expected to also be named head of ATF, three sources tell me and @yamiche.bsky.social.

I hope one went to the judge in the case where he’s pretending he has no actual power

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

This may be @adamserwer.bsky.social's most incisive work since "The Cruelty Is the Point." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Yeah, this is the one

Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

Marching down Broadway to City Hall to demand Hochul remove Eric Adams 💪

This is the first movement from Sen. Fetterman, please fill out immediately if you have been impacted. Please circulate Penn, Pitt, PSU, Temple etc @cbartman.bsky.social

The newsworthy information here is that he’s currently retired and formally unqualified for the job he was given.

This is our city. We’re going to continue following & enforcing the laws to keep all Bostonians safe. And it goes without saying that our police commissioner has my complete confidence & support.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

Unfreakingbelievable

How many Park Ranger salaries could this have paid for? lhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/

This must have been an incredibly stupid email to get at the intelligence agencies.

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Trump and Musk’s illegal power grabs are hurting working people. They’re gutting Medicaid, public education and the VA all to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Today thousands of people showed up at the State House to say we are ready to fight back.

please, please set it up wrong so it turns into the mother of all reply-all shitshows

Everyone, screaming: We need you to fight Nazis! DNC: We'd prefer to discuss eggs.

#tesla dealerships in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DC-MD-VA) at Georgetown, Washington DC; Rockville, Maryland; Tysons Corner and Arlington, Virginia were sites of weekend protests. #elonmusk #teslatakedown #BoycottTesla Full story and video

Please please please goad Musk into flying on one of his totally safe rockets.

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

"It's kind of been sad, because I've been trying to prove to people that it's a really awesome truck that's not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it's just... Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate and sad."

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

The technical geniuses at DOGE strike again
