It will take time but promise, it gets better. Be sure to reach out to others for support as you can, even a little bit, every day.

True. It shames me that US leaders are betraying Ukraine.

DOGE-affiliated employee accessed IRS system with sensitive taxpayer information The Integrated Data Retrieval System allows IRS employees to access taxpayer information.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

VA dismisses more than 1,000 employees - VA News WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs today announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees.

1000 probationary Department of Veterans Affairs employees fired. OIT, Procurement, and Veterans Benefits Administration. They are lying and saying it won’t affect support for veterans. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

Doge is auditing NASA today.

This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA.

It’s a massive conflict of interest.

We are not sheep. Get louder. Take action. Create a shadow cabinet. February 10, 2025

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.
