Musk’s status as a β€œspecial government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyβ€”documented by his own X postsβ€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressβ€”please share.

Trader Joe’s and Starbucks are helping Elon Musk undermine the US government | Steven Greenhouse SpaceX is trying to kill a federal agency that accused it of labor violations. Ostensibly progressive brands have leaped to join in

Kaitlan Collins Gets Mike Johnson To Say β€˜I Don’t Know’ After He Claims Angry Voters at GOP Town Halls Were β€˜Paid Protestors’ Speaker Mike Johnson baselessly claimed the angry constituents at Republican lawmakers' town halls were "paid protestors."

Tired old refrain. In 2018 Town Hall Meeting goers in NJ ousted 3 Republican House members, flipping the seats blue. Real people who were real mad. Did a whole lot more than just attend a Town Hall. These were no paid protestors & the Republicans knew it.

Johnson and Trump pull off surprising win to advance GOP agenda after vote whiplash in the House | CNN Politics Speaker Mike Johnson pulled off a stunning turnaround Tuesday night to rescue a critical vote to advance President Donald Trump’s agenda that had seemed doomed just moments earlier.

Gutting the health care program upon which 1 in 5 Americans rely, is not what we voted for. But I sure think a lot of people will have Medicaid on their minds when we vote in two years. #healthcarevoter

If anyone has a contact with a person at the union representating terminated federal workers in NJ, please message me. If you are a terminated federal worker who wants to get involved in the resistance in NJ, please message me. Ty

Read! Resistance is working. DT's approval ratings continue to drop as he makes more & more unilateral decisions that are unAmerican and undermine our national security and safety. His approval ratings are lower than any sitting President since 1953! Let's keep it going! Are u plugged? Message me.

of our vulnerabilities now. There are so many more including the destabilization of world by empowering authoritarian leaders. What do you all even stand for and why did you even get elected if your not speaking up loudly now? Your silence signals consent and this is dangerous.

So what, Trump and Elon break the law, so can everyone? Ocean County leaders please remember you will be expected to follow the law. In NJ, as far as I know, we still have the rule of law.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

A thread post with the following text:⁠
⁠
"It’s not dΓ©jΓ  vu: President Trump has issued another horrifying executive order targeting LGBTQ+ youth. Among a flurry of attacks on teaching about diversity, equity, and inclusion, the order suggests educators who affirm the identities of their trans students should be prosecuted in some capacity. The order also seeks to pull federal funding for any K-12 public school that supports its gender diverse students.⁠
⁠
This order does not take effect for 90 days, meaning we can still stop it. Stay tuned for updates on how you can help us fight this and the other attacks on LGBTQ+ people.⁠

🚨ICYMI🚨

The Laken Riley Act has been signed into law. Immigrants who are merely ACCUSED of petty crime will now face detention.

We have to double down on the #ImmigrantTrustAct and protect NJ institutions from being used as pawns in Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda.
