Yep...if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

Heads up!
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now.

Yep! List them all! If you're a manager, how much time did you spend reassuring your direct reports that it's going to be ok when you don't know if it will?
If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Worth entertaining
You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa
Given that the Republicans have leadership & a majority in both chambers, such legislation proposals would just be symbolic efforts that won't even make it out of committee.

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!”

The truth is Harris won the election, it’s nobodies fault but the oligarchy that Trump is in power right now. The election was clearly stolen and any country in the world would have been mass protesting the day after. Stop blaming each other and start looking at your real enemies. #3E
