This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?

Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Advice from a Congressional staff member (sources at the end of this post): MAKE 6 CALLS A DAY -- two each to your 2 Senators and your 1 Representative (their DC office AND their local office).

so much of what is happening right now boils down to “I don’t want to limit the powers of a billionaire in case I myself become a billionaire”

It is a uniquely American mindset

And it is insane
