F*CKING YES. Who else could go and keep DOGE from entering tomorrow morning? #peacecorps
I'm 50 mins away.
What do we do?
Can we just go stage a massive sit-in?

@slotkin.senate.gov Michigan resident here and former Peace Corps volunteer (Honduras '09-'11)! Please raise hell about DOGE and PC! All for $430 million -- literally 0.007% of the budget and a national treasure.

I'm going to lose my f**king mind if they touch the Peace Corps. Cuts will put volunteer safety at risk and a USAID-style dismantling would be a middle finger to the ideas of peace and intnt'l cooperation. All for 0.007% of the US budget. $430M/year. #RPCV #Honduras www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Just discovered @nationalpriorities.bsky.social tax receipts. Shows the spending breakdown of MY federal taxes... pretty crazy. ~$4k of my own money was spent on defense 😳 (including breakdowns for Lockheed Martin & SpaceX) and $2.5k on debt interest. Eye-opening. Would love to see this by State!

Michigan resident urging @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov NOT to vote for cloture! A “no” vote on the bill afterward would be a cop-out (now that I understand how this procedure actually works 😂)

Yes!! @slotkin.senate.gov what do you think?
If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries.
There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Am I exaggerating when I say I'll feel nervous flying in the US?? Firing air traffic controllers when they're already understaffed and now this, from a guy who left his DOGE website open to hackers.
Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees.
Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"?
Elon Musk, of course.
The billionaire grift continues.
