I can't believe we're doing this again.

As we see Trump fragrantly violate due process of law, disappear immigrants, ignore a direct unanimous order from the Supreme Court, and ship people off to torture camps in other countries, let's all thank Merrick Garland for "sticking to norms" and not prosecuting Trump as the law required of him.

Dear Mike Johnson,

A man who bankrupted multiple casinos does not have “instincts” we should trust.

Signed,
Sane Americans

P.S. How was your 4 day weekend? Never mind, I really don’t care. Get back to work, freeloader.

Reminder - Social Security is *your* money. You pay into it so you can collect it later. If the government shuts it down on a whim, without paying you back, that is theft.
BREAKING: Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek says he is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency.

Dudek told the Washington Post: “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

Leland Dudek argues that a ruling blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team from access to sensitive taxpayer data could apply to all employees.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.

They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net
