The co-president says speaking against Putin’s interests is akin to treason.

So I guess that’s where we are now.

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:

The latest message from Elon Musk to federal employees.

This comes after President Trump posted that he wanted Elon to get more aggressive.

I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself.

And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

BREAKING: Donald Trump issued an executive order tonight aimed at ending several decades-old and highly successful government programs.

Among the programs Trump says he's ending: The Federal Executive Boards and the Presidential Management Fellows Program.

What do they do, you ask? Key things!

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here.

He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac.

This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.
Dear media:

Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.

It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.

Focus on those.

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants.

This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.

Precisely my expectation:

1. Decimate the ranger personnel.
2. Watch the national parks deteriorate.
3. Declare only privatization can save them.
4. Put hand-picked companies in charge, which will

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.
