Veterans’ Care at Risk Under Trump as Hundreds of Doctors and Nurses Reject Working at VA Hospitals Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of…

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”

“Delay, Interfere, Undermine” President Donald Trump has praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a crime fighter, but new reporting based on interviews and documents reveals how senior Salvadoran officials have impeded a…

U.S. agents suspected Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders.

Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives.

I often wonder who writes these on behalf of Pumpkin Palpatine because I don’t believe for a minute the word atrophied has ever been in his vocabulary.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Deporting veterans betrays America’s promise ICE does not report the veteran status of deported people, but organizations estimate hundreds of veterans have been deported over the years

Orgs estimate that hundreds of veterans have been deported by ICE over the years. Countless veterans remain stranded abroad, living as exiles from the nation they fought for. Alex Murillo is one of those deported veterans, writing for Prism.

Trump’s plan to gut the VA will leave thousands of veterans without access to the health care they need, and will devastate an entire workforce.

I was proud to join nurses in San Diego to stand up for our veterans.

Went out and bought a small fortune of butter and threw it in the freezer.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

One of my favorites from the book!

The “Wheel of Time” on @primevideo.bsky.social is almost unwatchable. Forcing commercials in a program not written for it is so disruptive to the story.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers.

First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts.

Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

Having a good day for my brackets so far. Was wrong about High Point & VCU upsets, but clocked McNeese and Drake. #marchmadness

Whew! Glad the #cyclones pulled out the W against Princeton. Bring on Michigan! #marchmadness

Tough way to lose for the Vinyl, but what a great series for the inaugural season of #unrivaled! Now it’s time for March Madness and the @wnba.bsky.social.

But honestly I just want a great @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social game because last night was LIT.

Since the Laces didn’t make it, I’m pulling for Vinyl in the first #unrivaled Championship.

Honestly, @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social is so enjoyable to watch. I’m still in awe of the Vinyl upset.

The Vinyl were 🔥🔥🔥!! This #unrivaled game was amazing.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

Hey @schatz.bsky.social this you? Thanks for selling out the American people, especially our Veterans. Shame. Shame. Shame.

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

I really wish the NWS could move to @bsky.app instead of X. It’s the only reason I keep my X account and weather access should be more available to people.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Trump Vowed to Clean Up Washington, Then His Team Hired a Man Who Pushed a Scam the IRS Called the “Worst of the Worst” Frank Schuler was a leading promoter of a tax deduction derided as a scam by prosecutors, senators and the IRS. Now he’s a senior adviser to the General Services Administration, which manages the…

“This is someone who made his money by ripping off American taxpayers and who shouldn’t come anywhere near a position of authority over tax dollars,” said Sen. Ron Wyden about Schuler’s appointment. “He’ll fit right in with the Trump administration.”

A Friday-Night Massacre at the Pentagon Trump’s purge started with his firing of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top Navy officer, and the vice chief of the Air Force.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social!

"Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

This! We are now firing competent women and minorities to pave the way for mediocre, underperforming white men.
