Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Disgusted that whoever owns @bsky.app thought it was a good idea to allow the government propaganda machines accounts. Free speech doesn't mean you have to give blatant liars a platform to further divide us with their inflamatory rhetoric and condescending bullshit. This "radical left" girl is out.

Their point is to do the most amount of harm to the largest amount of people as fast as possible.
A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay.
This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.
