I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

In NM et al v Musk, the judge denied a TRO against DOGE firings due to lack of evidence of immediate and irreparable harm. Attorneys are asking us for evidence of harm to states (including individuals) due to firing/cancelled services. Message altcdc.99 on signal for submission email

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Tell me again why you're outraged at Joe Biden allegedly “lying” about pardoning his son, but not at all outraged at the guy who denied knowing anything about Project2025 until after the election and lied so many times during his first term that it became a counting game.

So happy to see so many familiar faces here 😊 I don’t post much but am an avid consumer of information. It was becoming a full time job trying to decipher fact from fiction on the other site. For now, I’m happy to be here with like-minded folks, fighting the good fight💙
