Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

This brings up an aspect of the DoGE layoffs: many Parks Service jobs include housing because there often isn't housing within commuting distance of Parks jobs. For Park employees with families, they have housing with kids. So many people are now laid off AND they and their families are unhoused.
FFS!
𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs
There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc
Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

The Dems are so worried about MAGA retaliation that they they frozen in place. DOGE is running thru our G'vt and society like a psychotic bulldozer and the Dems are worried about angering them more. This is appeasement not opposition! Get up and FIGHT!
Democrats in Congress need to stop griping about grassroots organizations and stand up to the bully in the White House.
We activists are watching as America teeters on the precipice of authoritarianism and doubt leadership has a viable plan or the backbone to protect us.
So, what's the plan?

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)
