I was afraid the answer was going to be "working for DOGE"

"When enforcement is politicized, agencies stop serving the people and start serving whoever holds power. A government that ignores the law becomes a danger to democracy and the people it's supposed to serve." 💯

TSA manually checking IDs at the gate now, despite scanning IDs and taking photos at the checkpoint. Duplicate effort for no benefit

Criminal misuse of an already overtaxed, barely funded, federal workforce

Markwayne is no better than Noem. This whole incompetent administration needs to go

"Independent contractors" will also have a significantly harder time proving that they work, to pass the new Trump work requirements for medicaid and snap. There are state and federal reporting systems for w2 workers that would make that automatic, but those systems don't include 1099 workers

Incurious. It sounds like such a tame thing to say, but it is to me one of the most damning insults a person could deserve

At this point: whatever bridge gets them there, we're all on the other side waiting for them

“The Alarm Bell”: Arizona’s Drop in SNAP Participation Signals Potential Nationwide Impact of Trump Legislation Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act imposes stricter food stamp work requirements and shifts a larger share of the costs to states. Arizona’s swift implementation has made it more difficult to apply an...

Nearly half of Arizona’s SNAP participants have lost benefits since the state implemented new Trump legislation.

“Arizona is just the alarm bell,” one expert said. “This is likely going to happen in every state.”

trans rights are human rights

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

"We will take down your video of a protest if there's a whisper of music in the background to protect the rights of glorious big business partners, but I don't see how you could possibly expect us to know or care if our chatbot is trampling the rights of some filthy individual"

They do not increase employment

Social safety nets help people focus on the things that will get them out of poverty

Losing assistance leads to loss of employment, deepening poverty, worsening health outcomes, increased reliance on emergency services, and ultimately: increased mortality

They don't reduce abuse:

They block access to benefits by creating mountains of bureaucratic red tape

Your uber driver and grubhub deliverer aren't employees, they are contractors who have to track all thier own data

People work, and work hard, but proving to the bureaucracy that they do: ❌

They don't save money:

additional administrative costs overwhelm program savings

Money not spent on food or healthcare goes instead to contractors building and maintaining a massive web of red tape to track work hours that sits on top of an existing (inefficient) bureaucracy for tracking income

We have recent, real world examples of work requirements failing.

What does failure look like?

- They don't save money
- They don't reduce fraud, waste, or abuse
-They don't increase employment

The feds I got to know believe that the mission of government is to serve people, and ensure their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

This admin uses government as a tool for abuse and oppression, and to extract money from America to enrich themselves

The feds are the government

I don't think it's hard to explain:

The SAVE Act isn't about securing elections or stopping fraud.

Trump has made it clear he wants it passed to protect Republican majorities in Congress in 2026 and beyond — making it harder for Americans to vote.

That's not how things are supposed to work in America.

My office officially launched a new portal with Governor Healey to report violence and unlawful ICE activity here in MA.

Debris-strewn Michigan after a tornado; headline notes four dead, 20+ injured and blames presidential funding cuts.

Debris-filled storm; caption says funding cuts left about a quarter of National Weather Service positions are vacant in Michigan.

Last week, a tornado hit Michigan with no warning, killing four people and injuring more than twenty. With Trump's funding cuts to NOAA and NWS, we can't predict tornadoes effectively and people die.

Boston takes gender off of marriage certificates in push to make services more inclusive for LGBTQ residents The new guidelines also inform city employees when and how to ask about gender and sexual identity.

This isn't drivers licenses, but it's a big step forward, and proof that you can make these changes when governments are willing to listen to research about how to best serve their citizens: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

If you listen, he enunciates the phrase "no imminent threat" carefully. That was no accident. This senator, after hearing the DoD briefing, is telling you this is an illegal war

Will GOP representatives stand up for you, and vote to impeach? Will GOP senators vote to convict?
