This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

How is the government spending taxpayers dollars?

OMB is using footnotes to hide how and whether things are actually being funded.

But taxpayers deserve full transparency. So we're suing.
OMB’s latest effort to conceal spending data - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
OMB should not be doling out funds behind closed doors and must make public the contents of legally binding spend plans that apportion fund. Full transparency is critical for effective oversight.

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made +$192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

-$33 BILLION in military aid over 2 years
-$45 MILLION every day
-$144/month per every 🇮🇱 citizen from 🇺🇸

As 🇮🇱 has free health care, free college, subsidized child care… and we do not.

They're panicking, of that I'm sure.

So they're also escalating.

This country is teetering just over the line of inflection; Benny Johnson and all these little fascist henchmen are pushing it as quickly as they can.

Bwahahahahahaha these fuckers always trying to look like big ass alpha males when they got micro peens.

The RIF’s are ppl that were on admin leave from a 9/29 court case involving the CDC, AHRQ and HRSA. So ppl that were in fucking limbo. Not new ppl as of yet but we will see.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Typical of a government who gives no shits about its hard working employees.

1. Shut down the government and don’t even bother to try to work with Dems to figure out a compromise.
2. Threaten for a week to fire employees. Enjoy our trauma.
2. Fire us.
At 9 PM
On Friday of a 3 days weekend.
