Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

Elon Musk has now set his sights on the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox, insisting on personally ensuring the gold remains intact. The vault was last opened to journalists and a congressional delegation in 1974.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

This seems like a good compromise -

Trump announces task force to ‘eradicate anti-Christian bias.’

So DEI for Christians is still ok. Got it.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

New — Sources tell me OPM is preparing mass firing of probationary employees after agencies submitted lists of them last week without context. If supervisors want to keep someone on, they need to write a short justification. Directive was high level. They were told not to put any of this in print.

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.

Hear me out —

If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.

Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

The U.S. attorney in Washington warned that his office would pursue charges against ‘anyone who impedes’ Elon Musk or his staff.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

Now we’re cooking!

Thank you for doing something, @schatz.bsky.social.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

Congressman Jamie Raskin live now. This is the strong stuff we wanted.

Trump issued a memorandum invalidating government labor contracts finalized in the 30 days before his presidential inauguration. This action is not legal and will not hold up in court.

I want this image as a poster, tbh.

My coworker is an immigrant from Afghanistan. She said “I survived three wars. If you have lentils and water, we can get through this. I will make sure.”

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.

Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.

Update: Cancellation of Your Administrative Leave Status Under My Authority 1 message Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 2:04 PM All: Attached, please find a memorandum documenting the cancellation of your administrative leave status under my authority. Before you get your hopes up, your systems accesses remain severed; you may receive another email within the day reinstating your leave status. However, that notice will not come from me. I have reviewed the materials that served as the purported basis for your placement in this status. Most of you had no role whatsoever in those materials. For the small number of you actually involved, the materials show no evidence that you engaged in misconduct. As a result, I no longer have authority to maintain you in this status. Someone else may claim to have that authority and I wish them the best in making a colorable argument to that end. I may not maintain my own accesses for much longer, so if you would like to stay in touch, I can be reached at I wish you all the best - you do not deserve this. Sincerely,

Background: 60 USAID employees had been placed on leave for “undermining” Trump’s executive orders. Nick Gottlieb was told by DOGE to then fire them. Instead he emailed all of them earlier saying he found no evidence of misconduct and used his power to take them off leave. Then he was put on leave.

Sir our plan to replace the entire government with 4chan freaks has run into a few snags
