Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Staff at CDC are being asked to scrub data on trans and non-binary folks from datasets.

Public health ethics hold us to the highest ethical, professional, and scientific standards. Deleting data about Americans is unethical.

OPM has ZERO authority over CDC practices. Obey the law.

If Texas Governor Greg Abbott hates DEI so much, they should take all the disability designs out of the state capital.

Elon Musk pressured FAA Chief Michael Whitaker to resign bc Whitaker had proposed a $633k fine against SpaceX for failing to follow license regs for 2 launches in 2023.
Musk, who is personally worth over $400B, got pissed for a fine, equalling just 0.00015825% of that wealth.
Hope it was worth it...

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

ALARM ALARM. 🚨

While the media was busy groveling, Donald Trump quietly signed an executive order “relating to holding former government officials accountable for unlawful disclosure of sensitive information.”

He just silenced anyone he fires.

We highly advised for all federal employees not to respond to or open OPM emails. Our coalition will be advised on additional precautions. Reports of a hostile takeover at OPM have been circulating. More details will be released in the future.

Roughly two million federal employees got emails today titled "Fork in the Road" which lays out the option to stay (with ominous undertones of "maybe we'll fire you anyways") or resign and be paid through September. This move would crush institutional knowledge and end programs permanently.

In light of the Air Force dropping its training video on the Tuskegee Airmen due to Trump’s anti-DEI mandate, there’s another more sinister reason the name Tuskegee should be known and taught. Buxtun’s story shows the few can stand for justice against the many.
