Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

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:

This is Jamil Jivani.
Jamil is a one of Pierre Poilievre's MPs - he replaced Erin O'Toole in Durham, ON in March of 2024.
Based on his own Instagram post from 2019, he is great friends with JD Vance (now VP to Trump).
Conservatives can not be trusted with our sovereignty.

This headline employs a phrase that most people will interpret to mean the Prime Minister is doing something wrong or unfair. Neither the prorogation nor the fact that there's a Liberal leadership race means that the PM can't or shouldn't fill Senate vacancies. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Did you know that today is the anniversary of abortion being decriminalized in Canada? That only happened because a Holocaust survivor grew up to be a doctor and insisted on performing safe abortions even though it was illegal.
Just, you know.. somethin' to think about right now for no reason!

The list of people who exist, but whose existence is being denied or condemned continues to grow. It has been and continues to be our job as conscientious members of a society to see trans, nonbinary and queer people for who they are, affirm their existence and fight for their ongoing existence.

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs.
Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!
