Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling

a) a single weapons contract or
b) a single Elon Musk contract?

USDA cancels $1B in local food purchasing for schools, food banks States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

Donald Trump and Republicans are taking money from our farmers, giving it to the wealthy for tax breaks, and throwing away locally-grown food that helps keep our kids fed at school.

Illinois will continue to do its best to ensure our students can excel.

Weaponizing the DOJ to go after your enemies…

How very fascist.

People running universities, media organizations, law firms, anything at all, need to understand that ceding an inch to authoritarians, accepting any sort of censorship, only increases the likelihood of further censorship. Capitulation is collaboration.

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

Unreal. So much for freedom of speech

"We have a powerful case that Elon Musk is violating the United States Constitution" @normeisen.bsky.social explains the Appointments Clause. "He lectures the cabinet, he has the power of life and death over federal agencies...you can't do that under the Constitution."

WTF?

Bad enough on its own. But much worse as a prelude of things to come.

You know you’re not getting all of this important health info from this Administration so tune in live at 12:30 pm ET on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook for the latest from the trusted @vinguptamd.bsky.social

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

Amen to that.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Guess we all just file extensions then. Horrible situations for those that are owed money as the headcount needed to process refunds will be gone.

Breaking: The US government.

This guy must have done something egregious like stand up for the Constitution and laws of the United States.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

This is how it’s done

Happy Thanksgiving all. Enjoy the the next few days. Crazy shitshow ahead for next 4 years.
