🧵Hi! I'm AltStateGov and yes I am a current state worker.

Why am I here? Because at my level of work, I interact regularly with amazing federal workers who care deeply about what they do just as I do. We work together to ensure federal rules are applied and followed at the state and local level.

In a shocking turn, the Nobel Peace Prize was NOT awarded to someone who blows up boats in international waters, frees violent mobs who attack the nation, or sends in troops on their own people.

Honestly, why would it even be a consideration?

It was never going to be Trump. In fact they gave the prize to a pro democracy fighter. Seems to me the committee is recognizing Trump with this choice, just not the way he so desperately wants.

The government is shut down, so government workers, contractors, and beneficiaries aren't being paid. Yet the Treasury Department is using $20 billion in unappropriated funds to aid the right-wing government of Argentina in their upcoming elections.

An undemocratic abuse of financial statecraft.

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

Republicans shut down the government and are refusing to negotiate. They’re even holding committee hearings on everything BUT their shutdown.
 
This week, I used my time in those hearings to remind them what’s really at stake.
