What the actual fuck though

So what are you doing about it?

@schiff.senate.gov @repscottpeters.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov Are we worried yet?

I'm fighting every day to protect Medicaid.

But it's going to take all of us.

Call your members of Congress. Share your stories. Tell your friends to do the same.

We have to stop this GOP attack on our healthcare.

Some days calling my reps feels so demoralizing. Having to say we shouldn’t cut HIV prevention services, or library services, or Medicare. But I do it every day.

Just to be clear, a big reason @altssa.altgov.info and I are here is because it's painfully obvious to employees that SSA is being sabotaged. They want it to break so they can kill it and blame us.

We need all your help to spread the word far and wide so these people can't escape responsibility.

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:

@repscottpeters.bsky.social remember how unworried you were at your town hall last Wednesday? This is what your constituents were trying to tell you.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.
