🚨 The US House of Reps have now PASSED their budget bill that includes a BAN on Gender Affirming Care for Medicaid for ALL AGES.

This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass.

Call your Senators!

Something we haven’t focused on enough is that the Trump administration isn’t just deporting people without process, it’s deporting them & incarcerating them in inhumane conditions in a third country. And we are paying for that cruel & unusual punishment that our government is imposing.

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

When SpaceX’s Starship blew up in January, Musk called it “barely a bump in the road,” brushing off the FAA’s concerns.

Yet during the accident, dozens of airplanes scrambled to avoid debris. Pieces of the craft were later found on beaches and roads.

As inflation continues to rise, don't forget that concentrated corporate power fuels higher prices.

But instead of continuing Lina Khan's work, Trump's FTC Chair wants to end the "war on mergers."

Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Understand this: Elon Musk’s wealth is tied directly to contracts and regulations from the government agencies he now controls.

He spent over $280 million to elect Trump and now he's cashing in — AND they got rid of the inspectors general who could hold him accountable.

Gross corruption.

This is part of Musk's petty bullying of federal workers. Making them defend themselves to a teenager is ritual humiliation.

I wrote about the psychology Friday, and how MAGA hates federal workers because they make them feel ashamed of MAGA's own worthlessness.

It’s some irony that the US Gov was so afraid of US citizen data getting into the hands of China that they tried to ban TikTok, but left the door open to a Musk, who seems to have full access to the treasury. We have no idea if he is exporting the data or what systems he will use to analyze it.

Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die.

Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa.

For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —> adst.org/2021/06/amer...
