All of the Republicans who for years railed about "unelected bureaucrats" destroying the government are awfully quiet as an unelected bureaucrat destroys the government.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections.

If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

The Trump administration’s decision to reimpose the global gag rule coerces groups abroad to give up their right to engage in truthful speech and provide life-saving information about abortion.
Over 287,000 women die each year from preventable, pregnancy-related causes. President Trump’s decision to reinstate the global gag rule risks the lives of even more women, girls, young people and LGBTQ+ communities over the world, especially in areas that need lifesaving health services the most.

Donald Trump has already abused the powers of the office and that is why we @fsfp.bsky.social have launched this call for an impeachment inquiry. Members of Congress who still believe in the Constitution must follow their oath and stand up. www.impeachtrumpagain.org www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...
Donald Trump impeachment efforts ramp up
Currently, the Republicans control both the House and the Senate, making a third impeachment very unlikely.

Since Monday, Trump has:

-Halted civil rights investigations
-Suspended public health advisories
-Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges
-Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors

How does this help working people?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

If you’re feeling despair today, I understand.

But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy.

I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it. youtu.be/bepjl3orz1A?...
