“What we are clearly seeing is that with this administration, they are not responding to congressional inquiries,” said Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, who wrote to Trump after hearing that ICE was pressing tribal citizens for their immigration status.

Congress Has Demanded Answers to ICE Detaining Americans. The Administration Has Responded With Silence.
Amid increasing reports that U.S. citizens have been caught up in the Trump administration’s immigration dragnet, a dozen members of Congress have written to the government with pointed questions.…

Wow. "NIH" canceled my co-mentored (with Dave Sulzer) PhD student's F31 funding. His work is on understanding the genetics and neuroscience of language learning disorders. F31 provides no indirect $ to Columbia, just pays his salary. Not that it should matter, but he's an American citizen. W.T.F.

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

There’s no Musk Library
There’s no Musk Hospital

There’s no Musk Cancer Center

There’s a Musk Foundation — and it’s in trouble with the IRS because it almost never donates any funds

3/ Tesla hasn't released any new sedan models, much less the cheaper one it's promised for years, meanwhile EVs made by US/Europe/China are good, have the same range, and many of which are far cheaper. And don't sleep on Korea! www.inc.com/jason-aten/t...
This Car Could Be the Biggest Threat to Tesla and No One Saw It Coming
Kia's new three-row electric SUV is a surprising contender.

2/ With Europeans essentially refusing to buy Teslas, that kills revenue tied up in carbon credits: futurism.com/tesla-sales-...

1/ Trump fluffing Elon might cause Tesla's stock to go back up a little bit temporarily, but boycotts/protests/Nazi salute are only one reason it's falling. Others include:

“We’re not done yet.

We’re still absorbing what has happened. We’re wrestling with what it will mean for ourselves and our families, as well as the impact on our partners and the American people.

But we came to the government to fix things. And we’re not done with this work yet.”
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 biggest and most impactful act against America is the dismantling of trust and decency to our allies and neighbors.
HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

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
