Meanwhile Amazon and other large corporations and wealthy individuals are bankrolling the destruction of the White House and the #GOPShutdown. If they can afford this, they can A) afford huge taxes, B) deserve fewer federal contracts, C) don’t deserve our hard earned money.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.
Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.
No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

The stories that I've heard over the past few of days from my USA 🇺🇸 federal government research colleagues are heartbreaking.
Breaking research programs is so quick and easy for bad actors.
Building programs back, if that ever happens, will take decades.

Nobody elected Elon Musk. So why is Trump granting him all-access powers to get rid of funding for Medicaid, Social Security and more?! We need to get Musk's hands off our money and stop the Musk takeover NOW.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

They are NOT an agency with any authority - they are not mandated by law changes or congressional authority

Genuine question: is there any authorization, anything at all, for a so-called Department of Government Efficiency? an executive order? Anything?
Is anyone working for that “department” a government employee? Or is it just a straight up private sector takeover?
