Omg - can we finally get him to just take that next step of stepping down??!
Oh now he tells y’all?? After spreading lies and conspiracy theories, RFK Jr. says don’t listen to his advice—as head of HHS. Sir, we already knew. We were just waiting on you to admit you’re unqualified.

Does this mean if we all boycott federal taxes, they won’t have the ability to get to us all? Asking for a friend.

I love seeing rival companies step up. I think all countries should swap to Eutelsat and cancel Starlink
Eutelsat, the owner of OneWeb, a satellite rival to Starlink, said today that it was “actively collaborating with European institutions and business partners,” adding that it had equipment that could be “deployed swiftly in Ukraine to connect the most critical missions and infrastructures.”

Excellent idea
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Honestly I think the news media companies needed a big shake up. They got more ratings than they deserved with the talent they had. I for one, can’t wait to see how this comes together for the incredible talent. Maybe a news group created by the best that we can trust?

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

As a former banker, I highly recommend that any bank account information you give the government isn’t your primary account. Make sure that the moment you see your return, if you get one, it’s transferred immediately out so there’s limited funds for anyone to debit.
