@thebulwark.bsky.social check this out. Worthy of a YouTube video?
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

My thoughts exactly! All Americans should send their top five accomplishments to HR@OPM.gov! The funnier the better!
Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at HR@OPM.Gov! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age.

Look what I received today and the Musk Twitter post was provided by a friend. I track what I do every week because it makes my self evaluation that I do twice a year very easy.

Trump posted his lie about “turning on the water” at 11:12 PM last night and CA responded with the facts less than two hours later.
Can most other Democrats PLEASE learn from this? At SOME POINT?
It isn’t 1996. Calling a press conference days later is USELESS. Rapid react!

This is one of the most egregious breaches of faith I’ve ever seen a public official commit.
Sen. Tillis convinced Hegseth’s sister-in-law to publicly sign her letter by promising to vote against Hegseth’s nomination, then voted Yes anyway, casting the deciding vote. It’s a staggering betrayal.

The aide who picked up when I called mentioned they'd been getting calls about this all day and my rep has taken notice.
Calling our reps won't fix everything, but the increased pressure matters.

![YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid.
YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreia6t55htxgj6v4nxv5uys3mklsp7lgba2qajqxb6c542lp2gf4gq4@jpeg)
