How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?

Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.

Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Washington State University faces Trump administration cuts to federal research funding that could total “somewhere in the $20 [million] to $25 million range” each year, Provost Chris Riley-Tillman told the Board of Regents. About 2,000 WSU employees receive some federal grant funds.
WSU could lose up to $25M per year from Trump research funding cuts
Washington State University is one of the many institutions bracing for fewer federal grants after the president’s attempts to halt funding.

The WA GOP just introduced a bill to end vote by-mail in WA, which will make voting less accessible and less convenient for millions - especially seniors, rural voters, and those with disabilities. Not a single Democrat supports this attack.

Russ Vought is out of touch with America & dangerously out of touch with reality.

He's said that the 2020 election was rigged, that he wants to "traumatize" our federal workers, & that we live in a "post-constitutional" time.

These extreme views should be nowhere near our government.

Democrats must fight back against Trump’s attacks on working families. But Senator Maria Cantwell has voted to confirm a third of Donald Trump’s MAGA cabinet nominees so far.

Urge her to fight back and oppose all future MAGA nominees:
The fight against Trump runs through Washington
It’s time to fight back! Tell Senator Cantwell to fight Trump’s agenda by voting NO on his MAGA Cabinet nominees:

Compared with any other major country, the United States has been extremely fortunate in its two immediate neighbors, Canada and Mexico.

Now, incredibly, it is declaring economic war on both of them. This is a war no one can win, and from which tens of millions will lose.

This is insanity.
