What is vitally important about high-visibility moments like this is they encourage others to stand up and let their voices be heard. Call them out. To their faces. Lawmakers will do more when they see those unafraid to speak out being celebrated.

DOGE looks to shrink the federal workforce by making buildings and commutes ‘so crappy’ that employees will quit, report says “I think that’s the larger goal here, which is bring everybody back, the buildings are going to suck, their commutes are going to suck.”

Yep.
Sounds about right:

Worried about Elon Musk and ‘DOGE’ getting your Social Security number? Here’s how to protect yourself. If the wrong person gained access to personal financial information held by the U.S. Treasury, it would constitute the biggest data breach in history.

I froze my credit last week. Have you done it yet?
If you have student loans, you will want to do this now.

Elon Musk wants to cut government spending. Tesla and SpaceX benefit from it Over the last 16 years, Musk's business deals with the government total nearly $20 billion, according to federal contracting data.

DOGE plans to slash about as much ($4B) from NIH, and hence from universities and medical centers, as the government gave SpaceX ($3.8B) last year.

It's not about the money and government "waste."

It's never been about the money or government "waste."

They want the communication to break down between the US population and the government.
We need more HONEST coverage of what is happening and how precarious this makes our national safety and security.
Kudos to those who ARE providing HONEST coverage of what is happening!
