BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian.

This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

DOGE puts a $1 limit on government credit cards. Every single federal employee should order one $.96 Pentel ballpoint pen www.wired.com/story/doge-g...
DOGE Puts $1 Spending Limit on Government Employee Credit Cards
The restrictions are already in place at the General Services Administration along with several other agencies. Soon they'll roll out to most of the federal government, sources say.

Dear media:

Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.

It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.

Focus on those.

Doug Ford led the premiers down to Washington thinking they'd welcome him because he's Conservative.

They offered concessions which weakened Canada's position, had to pay $85,000 just to talk to a mid-level GOP bureaucrat, then were dismissed & humiliated

UPDATE: The Trump administration paused its defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau following a lawsuit from @democracyforward.org alleging federal law violations. The pause will last until the court hears the case.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume.

Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media.

Trump claimed that DOGE has uncovered billions in “fraud, waste, and abuse.” However, no evidence has been provided, and all public fraud claims from both Elon Musk and Trump have been debunked as false.

Musk’s team of DOGE incels will show up when the doors open on Monday to take over the government’s central accounting system. There needs to be vigorous pushback on the ground. I sincerely hope there will be.

But let’s talk about protests for a second. 🧵

Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse through the Appropriations Clause, which states, “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” This constitutes a violation of our Constitution.

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

Donald Trump has already committed at least 23 potential illegalities, in only 16 days 🧵

1. Freezing funding for Medicaid and all other federal assistance programs

2. Revoking birthright citizenship

3. Using “expedited removal” to deport immigrants with zero due process

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Guess what? We’re still here. 😂

People are asking what they can do:

1) Keep calling your electeds!
2) If you’re local to DC, come protest at OPM & the Old Executive Bldg, where word has it Musk works out of. (haven’t confirmed that)

Just stay on public sidewalks and be kind to federal employees.

People in #DC are calling for continued protests at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Workers there have been facing off with Musk's minions and blockade their attempts to get into buildings.
