They don't want SS to go away. Their intention is to privatize it so oligarchs can take a slice of every penny you put into the "retirement wealth fund" they plan to create. Don't you just love P2025.

Oh yes, let's use the same AI that can't determine the number of fingers on a human hand to determine if someone's job is necessary.
OPM has stated that a response is not necessary. However, if a response were required, here is their plan: Musk-directed emails to government employees, requesting details on their work over the past week, are expected to be fed into an AI system to assess job necessity.

If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book:
Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America.
It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight
READ IT!

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.
If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.
Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Musk’s website, DOGE, leaked classified government information to the entire world. NOFURN [Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals] information on their website about the [intelligence community] headcount has prompted a scramble as people check whether their information has been accessed.

The Trump Administration really just fired NNSA employees because the administration didn't realize that these are the people overseeing the nation's nuclear weapons.

There are a million reasons to call our reps right now, but when I called Padilla's office the staffer I spoke to had no idea that some Deaf federal employees have lost access to ASL interpretation, and that the White House has stopped providing ASL. If you're able, please mention this to your reps!

A quick economics lesson:
If funding for Medicaid is frozen or cut,
Children's hospitals will close.
Pediatricians will shut their doors.
Then it doesn't matter how rich or poor you are.
There will be no children's hospitals and no pediatricians.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Elon is treating this country like it's his next business venture... and we saw how well that went for Twitter.
Elon Musk's so-called buyout offer for federal employees flagrantly violates federal employment regulations, @ddayen.bsky.social reports: prospect.org/politics/202...
Elon Musk Offers Federal Workers an Unauthorized Buyout
The alleged eight-month deferred resignation contradicts federal rules.

Yesterday I posted about the missing #accessibility statement on whitehouse.gov. The missing headings mean it's hard for folks who can't use a mouse. In a test, I couldn't get to the Executive Actions at all without one. Wonder why they wouldn't want folks with #disabilities to see? #disability

Dear Disney and Netflix,
Please add ASL translation options to your streaming services.
Deaf kids (and some Deaf adults) can't read English subtitles. Plus, it's a draw for people trying to learn.
