BREAKING β€” I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian.

This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

Trying to get information about applying to Social Security? Your wait times are about to get longer.

TSA Cuts Hundreds of Jobs as Trump Moves Rile Federal Workforce The Transportation Security Administration eliminated more than 200 jobs as President Donald Trump moves to slash the size of the federal workforce.

Screenshot of twitter video of Teamsters president Sean O'Brien appearing on Fox News with text "Even Sean O'Brien acknowledges that Right to Work may be "what works best" for some states. True, in fact it's the best policy for *every* state. That's why we need to pass Rand Paul's National Right to Work Act!"

This is why it's a bad idea for people to think they can kiss up to Trump and outsmart him to get what they want.

Trump isn't going to change, but he's going to make you shovel his shit.

This is the most anti-union thing I can remember seeing from a union leader.

All those pundits who said Trump was too lazy to be a dictator really underestimated the possibility of a lazy man delegating all the dictator shit to a megalomaniac who does a lot of cocaine

I don't see how increasing the number of plane crashes is going to bring down the price of eggs.

It brings me no pleasure to report an error in today's @slate.bsky.social crossword. Jaylen Brown was a Finals MVP, not an NBA MVP!!!!!

RIP to a real one, who didn't just change cinema and television forever.

He is the true GOAT of website "under construction" pages.

I wish the last few Democratic presidents were at least as contemptuous of Trump and George W. Bush as Shaq and Charles Barkley are of current NBA players.

No, the framing is, "this is colonial adventurism. We just ended two decades-long wars. We don't need to start wars with allies."

Enough of this "well we can make a deal with Trump to get something we want." Stop that. It's not only a fool's errand, you're making common cause with mad king demands.

WSJ is so sad.

Amazon workers aren't trying to steal Christmas, greedy bosses who have spent 2 years illegally pretending that Amazon Labor Union didn't win an election are trying to steal Christmas.
