Donald Trump has to go.
Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.
One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

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:

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

It’s the return of Alternative Facts. The world of misinformation is going grow exponentially. Why are these companies bending so quickly to Trump?

Meta’s move effectively puts an end to its longstanding fact-checking program.
The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. It is likely to please President-elect Trump and his conservative allies.

I’m not a fan of the glorification of murder. I get the outrage and anger at the healthcare industry (I’ve had my own issues) but murder is murder. I’m dumbfounded by the free Luigi b.s. Where has our society gone? We’ve elected a felon, let’s lower all the bars?
