No worries. You aren't the only one!

You do realize that none of the accounts you tagged are, in fact, the Senator?

@susancollins1981.bsky.social It blows my mind how many people think that I have anything to do with Susan Collins.

any and all signal boosting truly appreciated

Elon Musk’s temper tantrum lawsuits made me lose my job and then he and Chaya Raichik sent hordes of chuds to harass me and my colleagues who were also laid off.

None of us have shut up, so maybe people on the Hill should also do their fucking jobs.

Secession. What they're describing is secession.

Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf for fear of not being reimbursed. 7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to me. 8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has been allegedly implemented to preserve such access. 9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security systems.

The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO. “People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Trump and Musk should be asked every day how many Veterans they’ve fired.

Well said, Marc. Thank you for doing everything you can to protect and save our country. Please know that you are not alone and that there are many of us out here supporting you and trying to do what we can to fight against what is happening.

My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to suggest that we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

This is some excellent good trouble

As it has been. As it will be.

Should the US government be using your tax dollars to buy massive quantities of crypto? We asked a billionaire crypto whale who recently bought a membership to Mar-a-Lago.

What a wonderful idea…👇

Let’s. Do. This. ✨

Australia, New Zealand and Chile have the best Sauv Blancs, imo. Good on Canada.

When you realize the best investment you've made in your life was buying Forever Stamps.

I just block. They don't get subtle.

I was just on American flight 3083, for LaGuardia. As we touched ground, the plane suddenly sped up and climbed back up. The plane strained to quickly gain altitude. After something like five harrowing minutes, the pilot finally announced, “there was a plane in the ground that was too close to us.”

More of this, please.

i am reading an analysis of john yoo’s work justifying unilateral presidential authority over foreign affairs when he was in the bush OLC, and i am once again struck by shoddy dishonesty of his output! he moves as close as you can to just making stuff up without fully crossing the line.
