Shared via DM (unverified).

Next week, an email is going to go to all DOI employees telling them to review their eOPF records and then update resumes to prepare for a RIF. We don’t think there will be widespread RIF at FWS, but some targeted offices. Direction will be to do this by April 29th.

Today was a great day to celebrate those leaving on their own terms.

And cry.

I don’t know how we will ever recover from the loss of experience and commitment.

Today was not a win for conservation.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

As myself and others close to the situation have said this whole time, and will continue to say -- this was never about efficiency. it was a state-sanctioned heist of our personal information so they consolidate it and weaponize it against us.
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

Now he’s down to $150 billion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion

So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services

This clown will cut $58 billion

Maybe

As a biologist/ecologist (that focuses on a threatened tree species that is /actually/ foundational to its ecosystem), this "dire wolf" shit is infuriating

23andMe is bankrupt, and a judge has ruled it can sell its consumer data, which includes information about health, habits and personal traits.

A lawyer and bioethicist explains the concerns and why they’re deleting their own 23andMe data buff.ly/hv51ZVq

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

It's not every day that I get to say I'm proud to be from NJ
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

@booker.senate.gov says the answer to "what should I do?" is "something. do something." One thing more than you are doing now. Help another person. Get out of bed.

This is a really great article especially for visual learners to understand exactly how the government is being dismantled from the inside. Gift article so no paywall.

Trump’s coup is still underway, and an unelected billionaire is handing teenagers the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data — yet 10 House Democrats just sided with Republicans to police criticism of Trump.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!

We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).

I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.
