I think these sort of stories are important at this moment. It's one thing to report the number of employees fired (which is very high!). It's another to make people (and elected officials) confront the fact that these are their neighbors. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

The message is clear. The Trump WH thinks democracy is a joke.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Over the past week, several recent ex-State Dept officials reached out to me with a major concern. DOGE could soon access a huge defense-export database that represents a massive, if not transformational corruption opportunity for Musk & allies. Meet USXports:

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

There is a dark freedom knowing that I could try to do everything 'right' to keep Musk and Trump happy but still get fired because I once worked for a private _equity_ firm, or just cuz BigBallz misplaced a parenthesis, so why bother 🤷‍♂️

Right now, DOGE is saying that any new hires have to be approved by their office. In 1980, when IL Governor Thompson said any new hires had to be approved by his office, the Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional politicization of hiring. What about now? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Imagine the immaturity and cruelty that goes into a post like this. Zelenskyy has valiantly led a nation brutally and criminally assaulted by Putin and that has suffered tragic losses and destruction. And you think it’s cute to refer to denigrate him as a child. This a person with no soul.

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.

None of this is about "efficiency." Mass firings occurred at the CFPB this week — one of the most efficient federal agencies. The goal here is to gut the government entirely and remove any obstacles to the continued consolidation of wealth and power by the oligarchs.

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.
