DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats
Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis.

The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup.

At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.

Nothing should be "business as usual."

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.

The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.

WTF 🤔 What a lovely confession
Trump telling on himself and Elon again at the Victory Rally 1/19

“He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like in a landslide. So it was pretty good. It was pretty good. So thank you to Elon.”
