800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

Trump cuts probably hindered warning process for Alaska storm that displaced hundreds, experts say Reductions in weather balloon launches could have degraded forecasts that residents depend on to prepare

"A majority of western Alaska’s weather balloon network was not operating during the landfall of the storm last weekend due to staffing constraints inflicted by the Trump administration..."

Upcoming federal food assistance pause intensifies shutdown fight • Idaho Capital Sun The U.S. Department of Agriculture doubled down on its position that food benefits through the program SNAP for November couldn't be paid.

The USDA confirmed over the weekend it will not follow its own contingency plan — which the department has removed from its website — to tap into its multi-year contingency fund to cover food assistance for more than 42 million people for November.

So, which media outlet is digging into the White House general contractor's background and supply chains?

I feel utterly sick to my stomach over this. How HOW is this happening without any Congressional oversight not to mention all the dozens of orgs that are supposed to sign off.

Absolutely horrific 💔

Know it wasn’t an exhaustive list but please don’t forgot there is also the special election in Tn-7 to replace Mark Green. The only chance to have a red to blue Congressional pickup as the Texas race was already held by a Dem.

Trump Lays Siege To The Federal Government From Inside Its Walls A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This...

The shutdown isn’t an impasse over legislation. It’s not the old “gridlock” in Washington. It’s not even a partisan fight in the traditional sense. Trump and the MAGA hordes have laid siege to the gov't from inside its walls, much as they auto-couped on Jan. 6.

“I have no idea what Project 2025 is.”
- Trump, October 31, 2024

Federal employee families are your neighbors, your friends, and have spent our careers in service to you - the American people. We deserve better and so do you. Elections are coming and we must hold all that have been willing to ignore or circumvent our laws accountable at the ballot box.

Career nonpartisan federal workers are being replaced by people who are not hired on merit but solely their loyalty to the current administration, a resurrection of the outlawed spoils system.

We have lost our livelihoods and seen the missions we dedicated our lives to in service to the American people be upended or entirely abandoned.

Public service and sacrifice is not partisan, nor should it be, but over the last 10 months those of us who are or were civil service families have had our lives turned upside down and been told we are the enemy of the people.

The President is enriching himself while high tariffs are levied on the American public making it hard to even buy groceries and our military is being politicized and activated as a police force against our citizens and neighbors on our American streets.

The federal government is now shutdown because the party that controls the House, Senate, Presidency and Supreme Court refused to make sure that appropriations already passed into law were implemented and passed legislation that is taking healthcare away from millions of your fellow Americans.

Generational damage to our nation’s institutions and infrastructure has happened because of DOGE and the current administration. The ramifications of these policies have only begun to show the tiniest tip of the iceberg of all of the harm.

As of today, my spouse is no longer employed as a federal employee. Thus concludes the most difficult and intense 10 months of our 16 years of our marriage, including the first year when he was deployed for a combat tour in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for secretly merging millions of Americans' personal data to create a national database.

Some states are already using this “Big Brother” database to purge voter rolls and open criminal investigations.

It’s illegal. We’re in court to stop it.

fastest way for Dems to improve their fav ratings is to dump their leaders

it’s something entirely within their own control, it would be popular with both its base and swing voters, and it would grab the attention of media

“Question,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell on May 23, 2008. “Which one do you prefer,,, lewd and lscivious conduct ,, or procuring minors for prostituion.” At the time, he and his star-studded team of defense lawyers were closing in on a generous plea deal with federal and state officials in Florida, and Epstein was trying to negotiate the state charges to which he’d plead guilty. Maxwell’s response was matter-of-fact: From: gmax <gmax[REDACTED]> To: J. Epstein <jeeproject@yahoo.com> Date: Fri, May 23 2008 3:22 PM Subject: Re: I suppose Lewd and lecivious conduct..I would prefer lewd and lescivious conduct w/a prositute if possible

Yes, do this.

"You cannot arrest someone because they are Hispanic" is worth fighting for. It's worth shutting down the government for. And it's worth attracting attention to.

Along with one of the best veterinary schools and marine biology programs nationwide. Longhorn fan here but A&M has always been reputable and a respected university. This is awful to see.

The US Military Officer Oath actually doesn’t have that clause, as it is the same oath as civil service employees also take. The enlisted service one does mention the President but they are still to refuse unlawful orders.

PRITZKER: “.. The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke.”
