To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Sincerely,

Robert Reich
Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.

It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.

As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets.

This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

The 5 Calls app makes it *incredibly* easy to call your reps about the disaster that is happening. It provides scripts and contact numbers.

Call daily even when you know your reps agree on the issues (talking to you, Vermont liberals!).

As a historian I have some guesses about the ways this will be resolved and you'll be shocked to hear all of them are bad and none of them are things I'll be posting here.

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”
THIS HAS TO STOP.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

AOC & Jasmine Crockett need to get foreign press (BBC) to cover them standing on the steps of the Treasury Department demanding entry while informing the public that our personal financial information has been stolen by private citizen Musk & his tech bro teens with name & photos then call it

Here's a thought. Since the midterms seem ions away and the margins of Dems vs GOP is so slim, surely there are enough GOP Congress people that are getting disillusioned enough with Trump to flip parties and get control away from GOP faction destroying our democracy? Let's do this!

Just watched NBC News to see if they would cover this. NOPE. Not a word about the Treasury takeover, just the tariffs. We are the ones who have to spread the news about Musk's coup.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
