Is this true?
Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

In 2023, UnitedHealthcare reported $22 billion in profits. They also lead the field in claim denials. And they’re not alone.
Health insurance companies are in the business of denying our healthcare. They profit off the suffering of you and your loved ones. Prove me wrong!

Thread for anyone in Baltimore/MD generally. We’re really trying to make something happen quickly, because her situation is deteriorating. We had initially thought New Mexico would be a good solution but Maryland would allow us to be close and give her some much-needed in person help
hi friends.
I have a young trans woman (age 23) who I have been effectively parenting from a distance for the last few years. Now we are trying to help get her out of Texas.

These GOP members narrowly held onto their seats. They are key pressure points to stop Trump’s dangerous agenda. By targeting these races in 2024, we can restore checks and balances and block harmful nominees and policies. 🗳️

Are you concerned that Trump will follow through on his promises to fire public servants and experts and install loyalists in the federal government?
We are. But it's not too late to do anything about it. Congress: pass the Saving The Civil Service Act.

Trump has said he wants to destroy the “deep state” 56 times on Truth Social - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
Trump cites the “deep state” as the main force that prevented him from accomplishing everything that he wanted to during his first term by supposedly sabotaging him and undermining his power.
