The Senate debated and voted on their big corporate tax cuts (budget bill) in the night so we wouldn't know.

Very Serious People:: The military is entirely on Trump's side, they can't wait to crush the country beneath his heel, it's going to be marital law--

The actual military:

Senator Markey and colleagues are denied angry into the EPA Headquarters

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

I also think most people think they’re above being susceptible to propaganda but they’re not. It takes being incredibly knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics, well-practiced skepticism, and conscious consumption to navigate propaganda. And even then you’re still susceptible

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is jmetraux@motherjones.com. Reposts appreciated.

US federal employee union sues over Trump administration plan to fire, reclassify government employees Two unions representing US government workers filed a lawsuit Wednesday challenging President Trump's efforts to reclassify up to 50,000 federal workers, making it easier to fire them. The American Fe...

FIGHT BACK. If you are an employee at CDC your AFGE union is 2883 local. Join here: www.afge2883ga.org
Being a union member is not the same as being in a bargaining unit, but it is the first step to getting there and gives you legal representation by the union.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Yep

Scoop: Bernie Sanders probing Trump's purge of labor officials Sanders called the firings "deeply concerning" and said some were "patently illegal."

SCOOP: Sen. Bernie Sanders has launched an investigation into Trump's purge of numerous top federal labor officials.

The federal government is not Twitter and when Trump and Musk break government it has consequences—lives are on the line.

Food safety inspection. Air traffic control. Social Security checks. Nuclear Security. Drug approvals. Wildfire management.

The list goes on.

We cannot mince words about what it would mean to confirm RFK Jr. to our highest health official: elevating him and his anti-science views could have deadly consequences—even before he lifts a finger.

He is wholly unfit & unqualified to lead HHS.

Staff at CDC are being asked to scrub data on trans and non-binary folks from datasets.

Public health ethics hold us to the highest ethical, professional, and scientific standards. Deleting data about Americans is unethical.

OPM has ZERO authority over CDC practices. Obey the law.

🇺🇸🏛️⚖️

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.

Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Also - please spend time deciding how you are going to engage with the content this administration and the complicit media are going to be putting out from here on out.

Our nervous systems are precious resources and keeping them in a hyper-reactive state is BAD-real bad. We need to be intentional.
