Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist.

Musk, Trump & Our Money

Trump ousted a top Treasury official for blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and federal contracts.

They’re not just coming for government waste—they’re coming for our money.

Democrats everywhere need to fall in line behind @aoc.bsky.social One of the few Democrats with an actual strategy and objectives to get through what we’re dealing with right now.
“Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week,” AOC wrote. “Air traffic controllers—already understaffed—got Trump’s ‘buyout’ this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI—it’s him. And Elon #Musk too.” #RESIST

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

1/ BREAKING: Trump fired aviation safety officials, gutted oversight, and now 80 people are DEAD.

This is not an accident. This is Republican deregulation in action. Trump made flying more dangerous.

Now families are burying their loved ones.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I’m blaming Trump. He has not replaced the FAA head Musk forced out, because he wouldn’t approve his unsafe rocket launches fast enough. Trump fired 100 FAA staff. I am also blaming the REPUBLICANS in the senate and house who are not objecting to trumps unsafe decisions.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
 
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.
