I read Animal Farm again today and I hate country all over again. You bitches didn’t read in 9th grade and now it’s everyone’s problem
This is a perfect opportunity to talk about how annoyed I get that the right doesn’t understand Orwell lol.

Musk is making hiring/firing decisions and issuing directives as if he holds a formal government position, he is violating the Appointments Clause of the Constitution (which requires Senate confirmation for high-level roles).

Nobody elected this guy. He is breaking the law.

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
@aoc.bsky.social
Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Union email just came through. Acting commissioner Dudek is rumored to have requested a plan to reduce SSA staff by 50%. While this is unconfirmed, I cannot stress enough how devastating this would be for the millions of people who depend on us. This would cripple our ability to serve the public. 💔

In thinking about mental health and wellness, we want to recognize other groups under persecution as well: people who are transgender/nonbinary, have disabilities, don‘t have documentation, people of color, and others. Take care of yourselves, find your communities, be allies and support each other.

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health.
