Finally reached this goal after 12+ years of public service. Having this debt forgiven is a huge privilege that comes with years and years of sacrifice. And, no one should have to bear a six-figure debt to get into a public service career field.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

Guess who’s getting a new FAA contract to help privatize air safety?
Elon Musk. He’s cutting the FAA and everything else in government — and carving it off for himself.
THE WHOLE THING IS A MONEY GRAB

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

If Elon has a million haters, then I am one of them. If Elon has only one hater then that is me. If Elon has no haters, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is for Elon, then I am against the world.

Do not support any Dem running for Federal office whose platform does not include deporting Elon Musk and seizing his businesses and wealth.
The obvious message to take from what's going on is that Elon Musk should be deported. nymag.com/intelligence...
Elon Musk May Have Your Social Security Number
The billionaire and his DOGE agents were reportedly granted full access to the Treasury’s federal payments system, and nobody knows to what end.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

If you encounter an ICE agent and are a US citizen resist and do not comply with any of their requests.
Do not give them your name, Do not provide them your ID,
Do not speak to them in English.
Make them work for it, the more time they spend on you the less time they spend rounding up people.
