Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

We’re watching Beast Games and not only is it weirdly religious but also shows 1) how cult mentality works and destroys and 2) the embedded racism and sexism of our society.

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.

As with stories or rpgs, characters are more intriguing when they have flaws and drawbacks in deep meaningful ways. Especially characters with abilities. All powerful is boring.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

Be clear. $8 billion was an error. They misread $8 million! And it’s not saving. It’s cutting services, necessary research, assistance to millions here and overseas, and enforcement of laws that protect consumers and workers.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. This is how democracy dies.

Everyone is losing their jobs and it's grim. Yet, out of coal comes power. Let us rise and innovate against these broken paradigms. Small business can be a way forward- barter trade your skills. Find ways to build community resourcing.

Not feeling so hot about celebrating Presidents' Day today? Same. Luckily, today is also National Random Acts of Kindness Day - that's something we all need more of. If you do something kind today or have a great idea of a RAK to share, bring us some joy by dropping it in the comments below!

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

Posting classified information on the DOGE website pretty much shreds their claim they haven't been accessing or moving it to insecure locations. That website is so insecure, it's basically an incel.

The veneration of white men to the exclusion of every other American has an historical parallel, I’m sure. I just can’t think of what it is…

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Just a note that National Park Service is fantastic, and inclusive, and fundamental to the values of American wonder and democracy. What’s happening at Stonewall is a clear Musk and MAGA move.

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.
