This is not a bad idea. A new school year is coming up and I have a rising second grader. There is no way I want her to learn that Trump as president represents acceptable, moral behavior.

The DOGE website is hosted on Cloudflare. builtwith.com/doge.gov

It would be interesting to see what would happen if Cloudflare received a whole bunch of abuse complaints about it.

Google maps is no longer allowing reports on this. I recommend the wonderful idea. I saw comments of giving the app one star review.
Please continue to report.

Section 504 is an important federal law that protects the rights of people with disabilities in programs that receive federal funding.

17 states are suing to end Section 504.

This is wrong. Section 504 is too important.

Google Maps just changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico. I say we inundate them with change requests. Here's how:

1. Find GOM on a map and click.
2. Click the share icon.
3. Click Send Product Feedback to report an issue.
4. Write and send.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Reminder, especially to those in the DMV: a LOT of people are being threatened right now in many ways, but some people are being physically threatened for speaking out. Check in with your people, make sure you have phone numbers cleared to alert your phone at any time if your people need you.

We need to circulate the names of the people working with Elon Musk to take over gov servers. These are just 6 of them. RT until their names are everywhere. This has to stop.

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

The Harvard Innovation Lab has a new project where they are scraping and saving federal datasets from data.gov, federal Github repos, and PubMed.

Their blog post says they plan to publicly share the collection they have so far in "the coming weeks".

As info disappears from federal sites, please remember that the Wayback Machine exists. It's not perfect, but it can maybe help. web.archive.org

Happy to help find specific pages if necessary. @ or DM me. Pass it on.
