Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Your taxes will go up unless you make more than $360,000 a year. In 2020 90% of Americans made less than $125,000. About 2% of employed people made $300,000 or more in total income.

Folks (and this thing has gone around quickly), it's still unclear *what* has been "deleted"; as many of you have noted DirectFile remains active. Part of the danger of Government-By-Unelected-Nutball is that what's actually *true* is a moving target.

If you RT'd my initial post, RT this as well.
Elon Musk claims to have "deleted" the office in the IRS which has enabled people to file their tax returns electronically, simply, and for free.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid.

This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid.

It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
Trump said in an interview with Elon Musk that he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Hours later he endorsed a GOP plan that could slash the program.
Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.

Wherever they are right now, this is where they’re going. Just to be clear, I do not want this outcome, not even a little. I hope all of our pressure efforts will work with all of my heart.
