I worked on/supported some of these programs and the past 6 weeks have just been devastating.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇

@housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

The level of straight up lying still somehow shocks me

This is beyond raising concerns.

We were sent additional termination notices the morning after this order, so still waiting to see if this even does anything.

There has to be a breaking point.

None of this is ok.

I needed this laugh

Thank you @schatz.bsky.social for standing up for foreign aid today. Your words and actions mean so much to those of us struggling to keep our projects and companies alive while feeling absolutely helpless.

These stupid mother fuckers are going to close hundreds of nursing homes, homeless shelters, abuse shelters, and transitional housing for hundreds of thousands of Americans including veterans, seniors, women, and children. These fucking monsters. Flynn is such a piece of shit.

This is a crime.

Absolutely this. We need all of our reps being this vocal.

“Put Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader’s Plans for a New Trump Agenda Private videos reveal Trump adviser Russ Vought’s “shadow” plans for using the military on protesters, defunding the EPA and villainizing civil servants.

What's happening now was both foreseen and foreseeable. The president's team promised to put federal workers in "trauma." And that's what's happening. (Story from October 2024)

This has been an absolute nightmare.

Thanks, I have been! It's been a super hectic week as I work for a USAID contractor and it's just been a fire hose of work to shut everything down and nearly everyone getting furloughed. So far, it hasn't felt like anyone is doing much about or paying much attention to foreign assistance.

Why does it feel like no one is doing anything to stop this?!

She's a walking, talking conflict of interest.

Wow, to think I once cared what he posted...

I'm genuinely trying to think of what I can actually do at this point. Using this platform to (internally) fight the apathy and hopelessness otherwise felt, but it still feels so ... futile.

I'll believe it when she does it.

I think the real question is will be need to

I'm pretty sure they're the only people he thinks are real.

For fucking real

Yeah, he's a phony, but he's been pretty good at using others (and being used)

All of this, 100%
