There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

"What can I do?"
That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Remember:
The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility.
They are both about ••psychopathology**.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

His personal behavior would disqualify him if he were a plausible nominee. But that’s the thing: he shouldn’t have been in this position in the first place.
there's a ton of shit that should disqualify Pete Hegseth from running the DoD but the fact that he's a dipshit troll who shouldn't be in charge of anything as important as the military should disqualify everyone who supports this nomination

One of my wishes for 2025 is that people become even a little more discerning when the social media posts they passively scroll through are part of a coordinated smear campaign

PSA to… I don’t know, like half the people on the metro today: that big X stitch? The one on your bottom back hem, over the vent - yes, your winter overcoats as well as your suit coats! your pencil skirts too!
