Musk has given DOGE engineers barely old enough to buy beer—and with ZERO government experience—free rein over the Treasury Dept. Now they want to access data in the Dept of Labor, National Institutes of Health, and even the FAA.

SIGN HERE to tell Congress to kick these bozos out of government!👇
Demand Congress kick the DOGE team out of government!
It's becoming clear that Elon Musk, under the banner of the totally made-up and definitely not authorized Department of Government Efficiency, has deployed a crack team of engineers barely old enough

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

Apparently the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, believes #LGBTQ+ people simply existing "can bring down the entire democratic system." So he wants to criminalize my existence. www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/p...

The investment I made sending Apollo to kitty modeling school really paid off! 😸
Happy #Caturday to those who celebrate.

Every night, my boys, Emmett and Apollo, insist I open the bathroom window while I’m brushing my teeth so they can sniff the cool, autumn air.

Democrats are calling for Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez to resign following his indictment.

Republicans are trying to elect Trump president after his 4 indictments on 91 felony charges.

Remind me who's the "party of law and order" again?

I’m feeling very fortunate to have received the updated COVID booster today. Even better, I took my 89 year old mom with me and she is now boosted, too.

Libraries close, books are banned, and knowledge becomes contraband. The system fights against its own destruction.

But educating ourselves and each other is the beginning of revolution.
