I don't talk much about work here, but this morning I listened to The Daily and it enraged me so much. Here's the thing: I once oversaw a project where an outside party spent a large amount of money to rehabilitate a historic property belonging to the federal government. 1/x

@dieworkwear.bsky.social I don't know if you've seen this photo (from The Independent), showing the investigative team for the Louvre jewelry heist. Many of my friends are swooning over the style of the detective on the right and are clamoring for your analysis.

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.
To review what we from @washingtonpost.com are reporting out of the IRS today:

- Projected tax revenue this year is down 10% ($500 billion) as Trump's downsizing is emboldening tax cheats

- IRS is nearing an agreement with ICE to assist on mass deportations

We're literally defunding the NIH, cancelling NSF grants, mass firing FAA and NASA, making it almost impossible for women or Black folk to do science or engineering, and some of y'all still want to pretend that this is on the path to scientific exploration?🤡

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Again, this isn't funny & it would have immediately ended any previous presidency in the post-WWII era. It's a direct violation of our NATO & UN obligations & obscene in a moment where 🇷🇺 is occupying 20% of 🇺🇦 & denying the sovereignty of another country.

running the federal govt the same way I figure out which breaker powers the garage
the white house saying the medicaid portal will be "back online shortly" does lend some credence to the idea that they're just shutting the entire government down and manually whitelisting whatever they see becoming an immediate political threat

The experts, lawyers, and scholars who I’ve been speaking with since last night agree with me that it’s a coup and that this a 5-alarm fire.
This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law.
2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc.
3. Be public about how illegal all of this is
4. Lay out a plan
