The biggest president’s day sale was when musk bought the Oval Office for 250,000,000.

It appears we are entering the “just following orders” stage of the autocracy as people are being dismissed for not being obedient.

All of these life saving measures being canceled by the all lives matter pro life crew

Bat shit crazy that these are just a few of the programs being interrupted/shit down so that republican foot soldiers of the FOTUS can jam through another massive wealth transfer to the top

Oh it’s just little ol me over here waiting on that executive order to lower the price of eggs

To be super abundantly clear it’s not about shrinking the work force it’s about installing people loyal to their fascist agenda any other reporting is irresponsible

Pam Bondi is coming for the Affordable Care Act. She has been a lobbyist for Amazon and Uber and was the chair for the center of litigation for the America First Policy Institute. Which is a nonprofit that can receive tax deductible donations while lobbying on the behalf of its major donors.

True patriots hate human rights. Too many people think they’re entitled to the right of being alive. There’s nothing in the constitution that says anything about the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness . . . That’s all in the Declaration of Independence. Which is a liberal hoax.

The administration talking about a Meritocracy while hiring the least qualified people to run the biggest departments in government is a chefs kiss of Hypocrisy.

Worlds richest man brags about missing parties while dismantling program that fed and provided medicine to millions of people around the world. Forget about taxing the uber rich . . . Gut them.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

Dictator in chief now promises to revoke visas of students who protest the genocide in Palestine. Saying campuses are “infested” like never before with people who believe whole sale slaughter of people is bad. Turns out being anti genocide and apartheid is now radical thinking.

The message also said that “enhanced standards of conduct” would be applied to ensure that workers were “reliable, loyal, trustworthy” and warned that “at this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency

Most people who have been working remotely will be required to work from their office five days a week, the email said, and some physical offices will be consolidated, causing some people to be relocated.

The email, with the subject line “Fork in the Road,” said that the majority of federal agencies would probably be downsized and that a substantial number of employees would be furloughed or reclassified to “at-will status” — essentially making them easier to fire.”

Reminder—if you see ICE in the city, report it and help keep your neighbors safe.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

to every single record the government has, the better to propagandize through half-truths and selective disclosure. It'll be a veritable department of misinformation. -David Dayen

So the world's richest man, known for going on his social media platform and lying relentlessly about the activities of others, is going to get full access

I guarantee you Musk or one of his friends will get the contract for that. And there's a directive to agencies to give DOGE "full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."

At the same time, Musk is taking full advantage of the USDS designation. There's talk in the order of a "Software Modernization Initiative" for the government, and improving interoperability between networks and systems.
