The Republican government funding bill is a slush fund for Trump and Musk that slashes environmental protections, eliminates jobs for hardworking families, and guts essential programs — all so they can justify bigger tax cuts for the wealthy.
The Senate must vote NO and reject this extreme bill.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Do you have access to all of your performance evaluations and observations - and any certifications- on your personal device/ personal drive? Make sure things are backed up - regardless of where you work.
Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Elon Musk is now bragging about getting rid of the team that put together the 'Direct File' tax filing system, which allows citizens to easily file their taxes for free.
Direct File is a big target of the for-profit tax prep industry including corporations like Intuit and H&R Block.

"The men appear to have barricaded the entrance to the bank, spray painted the security cameras, and ordered the employees to lie on the floor. We're watching now to see if they do anything wrong."
I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.
