The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

It's hard to fathom the extent of the waste, and the suffering that goes with it.
Vast supplies of U.S. aid remain stranded, despite State Department promises
More than 60,000 metric tons of food have languished in warehouses in the United States and around the world — with expiration dates nearing on some items.

"Even those who expected the worst from his reelection (I among them) expected more rationality. Today, it is clear that what has happened since January 20 is not just a change of administration but a change of regime—a change, that is, in our system of government. But a change to what?"

Just a reminder that the billionaire who helped elect the Tangerine Toad and is destroying the government from the inside is now buying himself a judicial election. There is a nefarious reason for it. Count on it.
And he has the gall to claim the people protesting him are paid Soros plants

If 272 Democratic members of Congress walk out of the President’s State of the Union address it will be a powerful statement, even if their empty seats are quickly filled by Elon Musk’s children.

“The 5 bullets email was the administration’s declaration of psychological warfare: Petty on its face and lacking sufficient instructions, its one and only purpose was to scare the shit out of workers already living in peril.”
Move fast and break people
For Elon Musk's government, the psychological warfare is the point.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Somehow though he's still able to keep them from going to contractors by accident.
With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

ALL of this is about making life as miserable as possible to get as many feds to quit as they possibly can.

That's what's behind all this. And no, "failure to respond" cannot legally ve seen as a "resignation." That's NOT a thing.

The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country.

Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

I did a walkthrough, here’s a timelapse. This is probably the biggest demo in D.C. so far post-inauguration, brought together by the 50501 Movement which originated on Reddit.

Everyone was chanting “fire Elon!” while I was filming this.
