Over 3M files from Epstein supposedly getting released today.

Just this ONE file alone has 26 different new claims against Trump...

How many of these were properly investigated?

We should become minimalists for the next few years and boycott as many billionaire/oligarch businesses as possible. We should focus our support on local businesses.

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

🚨 Government records are disappearing.

Troves of public records and data continue to vanish overnight — weakening transparency and our ability to hold those in power accountable.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about access to facts. And the consequences affect everyone.🧵

WTF now the coup is actually starting to look like what most people believe a coup to look like.
Not hiding anymore- they are escalating.

Two of the individuals involved were the same DOGE officials who, with the help of federal marshals, forcibly entered another small government office—the U.S. African Development Foundation—earlier this month.

This is a weird distraction from the real horror: DOGE forcing their way into the United States Institute of Peace. This was a break-in.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.

Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services.

Call your Dem Senator 202-224-3121

Who cares what they say they would love, they could be bluffing, consider the consequences of not fighting back!

I like this info-graphic. I’m calling it the billionaire beatdown!

I despise background laughter, it sounds like a group of bullying frat boys.

Critical Weather Forecasters Fired In Latest 'Unconscionable' Wave Of DOGE Cuts Democratic Rep. Grace Meng warned that the firing of hundreds of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration staff will endanger American lives.

'Very, Very Bad': Ex-Government Economist Makes Bleakest Trump Prediction Jesse Rothstein warned it "seems almost unavoidable at this point."

Social Security Administration Could Cut Half Its Workforce Sources tell the Prospect that a meeting called for a 50 percent reduction in an agency that millions rely on for benefit implementation.

I just have no words for this. It’s catastrophic. The *first* phase is an enormous RIF, and then the second phase is to relocate the offices of those who are left so most of them don’t follow. It’s the complete implosion of the government.

BREAKING

Project 2025 leader and current OMB head Russ Vought directs all agencies to create plans for large-scale layoffs ("Reductions in Force") by March 13.

I don't even know where to begin in explaining why this shouldn't fly as a properly executed reduction in force (RIF). "The president said so" is not a legally permissible reason under 5 CFR 351.201.
