At this point, one can only hope that when the pendulum swings back the other way, it takes the form of an absolute wrecking ball.

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:

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

I just read something that shook me and I believe it’s the answer: “we need a leaderful movement.” YES. Leaderful. Step up. LFG.

I’ve been mentally escaping for little stretches at a time from…*gestures around at everything* through audiobooks lately. I’ve not enjoyed a books series as much as the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman in quite some time. Try it if you need a break.

🚨In a victory for trans youth, their families, and their medical providers, a federal district court today issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of a Trump administration EO attempting to shut down access nationwide to gender-affirming medical care for trans people under 19. 🧵

You all know what to do. This isn’t just about opposing this confirmation, but about DEMANDING - shouting from the rooftops - that our elected officials DO NOT ALLOW THIS ADMINISTRATION TO DISMANTLE OR DISABLE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. SCREAM.
UPDATE: In her confirmation hearing, Linda McMahon handled tough questions from Democrats, and affirmed President Trump's plans to shrink, and potentially eliminate, the department.
At McMahon's confirmation hearing, it was the Education Department on trial

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass
