I’ve just called all of TN’s reps in the House, before their vote about opening the gov’t. They’re hoping for a decision by tomorrow. If you’d like a list of their names & phone numbers, you can DM me. If you’d like, I can give you a script I wrote (but that’s only useful if you agree with me.)

Longtime HCR readers will know that “What are we doing here, folks?” is basically her screaming profanities at the current situation. It’s dire.

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their states national guard.

Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this
Now THIS is a mission the National Guard can be proud of. 🙌

Yes. I love this. There has to be economic power in these protests, and collectively we must begin to come to terms with using it and come to an agreement of what that will look like.

A lot of people are going to die from this
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

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:

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

There’s a measles outbreak in Texas and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is completely silent. Not a peep.

This is so, so bad.

The sooner we collectively realize that Elon Musk is a shitposting, conspiracy-addled fool, who needs to stay out of public policy not upend it, the safer we’ll all be.

NEW non-clarifying clarifications about Elon Musk's employee status filed just now in a NM-led lawsuit:
—Musk, as a presidential senior adviser, "has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself." He is also not DOGE's administrator.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)
