Tech infrastructure is invisible so we can’t see what is happening. But if we could, it’s like dismantling & changing the railways in the early 1900s at the peak of their power. They are changing where funding goes, how it flows, who drives it, but no one can see it. www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...
GSA eliminates 18F
The latest workforce action at the General Services Administration includes the elimination of an entire tech team of around 90 employees.

Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme it’s a promise that every American pays into so they can retire with dignity.
Get loud and tell Elon Musk to keep his hands OFF social security.

I have seen almost nothing assessing the scale of the impact of the wrecking of the USPS, if it goes through. But it would mess with voting by mail, prescriptions by mail, so many small and large businesses, how a lot of daily life now runs. Good for the NALC workers.

NALC President Brian Renfroe calls the potential “illegal” takeover of the USPS “a direct attack” on 640K postal workers + every American who relies on its deliveries

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Are House Republicans okay with Trump pardoning criminals who assaulted law enforcement on Jan 6? Are they okay with some of those people having already committed more violent crimes since being pardoned?
These should be easy questions. They should be able to answer them.
