Be informed - when we know we can best fight.
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:

Governor Ron DeSantis says the Tate brothers aren’t welcome in the state, and his attorney general is exploring legal options:
“Florida is not a place where you're welcome with that type of conduct."

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party
thx in advance
thx in advance
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

My Dad served this country for 25 years. He retired as a Chief Warrant Officer IV - earned a Purple Heart amongst many more honors. Tours in Vietnam, Grenada, Panama. Passed in 2022. Oh, and by the way…he was…..Colombian. #diversity
The Secretary of Defense thinks embracing diversity weakens our military. He couldn’t be more wrong.
Diversity has made us strong since the birth of our nation. Welcoming all who serve makes us stronger, more cohesive, and mission-ready.

NOAA has a base in the town I live. These are dedicated individuals with families who are part of our community. More than that, NOAA does so much! Not just dangerous work around hurricanes but research, soil, water, weather. This is ludicrous.
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.

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.”

Y’all give ANCOR a follow! I proudly serve on the Board and tirelessly work alongside them to advocate and protect individuals with IDD and the providers who support them. You can learn so much from them on Medicaid and HCBS policy! It’s such a critical time for our supports and services!
If, like us, you're new here, allow us to introduce ourselves. We're a growing community of 2,500+ providers of services accepted by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Our members make it possible for people with I/DD to live, work and thrive in their communities.

Please support!!
📢 TAKE ACTION 📢
People w/ IDD can't afford any disruption in services, but a memo from OMB announcing a halt to all federal aid threatens exactly that. Contact your lawmakers ASAP & ask them to demand clarification that the order won't apply to critical disability services!

Completely agree. What a terrible precedent- how far we have fallen from the foundations of our democracy.
This is a mess. He either committed crimes that deserve prosecution or he didn’t. This sends a terrible signal about how the rule of law operates in the United States.
It isn’t up for a vote—and you shouldn’t escape consequences by winning an election.

Make sure you are up to date on any vaccines. This type 1 diabetic is feeling some angst 😒
Trump just named former Rep. Dave Weldon as his pick to lead the CDC.
While in Congress, Weldon introduced legislation to move oversight of vaccine safety from the CDC to an independent agency within HHS, which under Trump would be headed up by anti-vaxxer RFK Jr.
