Trump now lying about Social Security in his prepared remarks, pretending there's a lot of fraud.

He's talking about a database that includes all the people who've ever received Social Security, but pretending it's the people who actively receive benefits.

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.”

Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

The Trump administration is intentionally destroying our Democracy.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
We're not done yet | 18F

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
