A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The very best of America’s shitposters are now outgunned by their Chinese peers. Balance of power has shifted.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!?

Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

America, people. Freedom and stuff.

thank you Elon and DOGE! what the world definitely needs is unchecked drug resistant gonorrhea

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

No one should have to wait by the phone for hours just to get the benefits they’ve earned. ☎️

I can only imagine the bailout package they are drawing up for themselves.

As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.

Does anyone remember Signalgate?

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full.

Already forgotten

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.

Senator Tammy Duckworth:

"Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could've gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.

If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?

The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
