Background checks don't happen until after people start work, one official said, as HR rubber-stamps applicants in days. Training was slashed from 16 weeks to six, with sit-ups eliminated because recruits couldn't handle them.
ICE recruitment is going well.
For the Epsteinth time, an 'underage woman' is called a CHILD.
Thanks for coming to my Pred Talk.
Children make up almost half of those enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP. But people are droning on and on about how people should stop being sad about cuts to Medicaid and just get a job. They’re children!!!
NPR reports that the RFK Jr.-led CDC has halted the "Wild to Mild" flu vaccination campaign that promotes flu shots by emphasizing their role in reducing symptoms and severe illness
The decision to pull the campaign comes as flu hospitalizations hit a 15-year high, with 50,000 admissions in a week
Dark Pence is back.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
Every single vaccine in the childhood schedule has been subjected to the highest level of scrutiny for any medical product. Because vaccines are given to an otherwise healthy population, safety and effectiveness are essential.
That’s how you write a headline, people.
The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?
Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you.
STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.
Money talks
Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.
Anyone else concerned about Trump quoting a dictator? This comes right after he fired 20 immigration judges without explanation.
JD Vance, a Yale-educated lawyer and sitting VP, claims judges can’t check executive power. That’s literally their job. Courts overturned Nixon, Bush, and Trump. If judges couldn’t rule on executive actions, presidents would be kings.
The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.
Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.
I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.”

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.
Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!
Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
When the pain hits home, Republicans balk at Trump's spending cuts and tariffs

THREAD: Trump's intentionally flooding the news cycle w/ a stream of outrage porn to distract, scare, & confuse. These are the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week:
NIH funding cuts jeopardize ‘life-saving’ research in AL

At least seven federal prosecutors have now resigned — in just the last 48 hours — rather than accept the order to dismiss corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.
