The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

🚨 21 USDS employees resigned after their org was rebranded as DOGE—yes, the U.S. DOGE Service. 🫣

Itir Cole, a senior technologist at the CDC, saw the real impact—on food safety, public health, and preventing another pandemic.

Tomorrow marks one month until the first federal election of 2025. Although my name will be on the ballot, this election is about a lot more than me. It’s about protecting healthcare, Social Security, and the American economy.

To help us get out the vote, can you help me reach 40K followers?

We need some accountability here. Who are the administrators within the NSF who did this and under what instructions?

I believe federal FOIA regulations would applied to general communications leading up to this action if not to individual personnel decisions.

Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service claimed this week to have saved an estimated $55 billion through a combination of layoffs, canceled contracts, lease renegotiations and other actions. But a list that it posted of contracts and leases suggests that number is inflated.
Musk’s DOGE says it has saved $55 billion. Not so fast.
A Washington Post analysis found that hundreds of the canceled contracts DOGE listed represent savings of $0 each.

Trump’s plan to fire these generals is nothing less than a personal loyalty test. He isn’t firing them because they’re unqualified or because they disagree on tactics in a conflict. He is because he thinks they are more loyal to the Constitution than to him.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

You’re completely right! No one elected Elon Musk and the world’s richest man has absolutely no business gutting our healthcare and Social Security. As your Congressman I’ll do everything in my power to keep Elon Musk out of power.
You need to focus your message on Elon Musk and how he is getting all the benefits while the rest of us are getting screwed.
