Massive protests need to erupt across America against Trump after this disgraceful PR stunt against Zelensky.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

is this bad?

Fact-checking Trump and Musk's claims that they are cutting government 'fraud and abuse' Elon Musk and President Donald Trump say they have uncovered massive "fraud" in the federal government. But the projects the White House points to are largely ones that the administration disagrees wi...

Jamie Raskin:

"Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.”

Health Workers Think DOGE Is About To Backfire, Big-Time Mass layoffs have hit departments whose literal purpose is to save money or improve health outcomes.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits.

Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices.

Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators.

That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

And people talk about how Koreans "showed up for their country" but like. Why do you think they showed up where they showed and when they showed up? The opposition party was literally sending SMS alerts and mass-printing glossy color cardstock signs for their voters

I have a better idea: Email tipline@cfpb.gov or DM @cfpb_tipline on X and tell President Trump and co-president Elon Musk to stop letting Wall Street scam you.

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.
