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.

US Funding Cuts Are Helping Criminals Get Away With Child Abuse and Human Trafficking Services supporting victims of online child exploitation and trafficking around the world have faced USAID and State Department cuts—and children are suffering as a result, sources tell WIRED.

Trump and Elon’s funding freeze isn’t just hurting efforts to feed hungry kids and cure deadly diseases.

It’s also devastating programs that fight child sexual abuse and exploitation — literally helping criminals get away with these crimes. www.wired.com/story/doge-u...

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

The inspector general for the USAID, Paul Martin, has been fired. Yesterday his office released a warning that staff reductions and spending freezes at the agency risked the misuse and waste of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.

GSA staff facing massive cuts and fears of 'nonstop' surveillance The remaining employees at the General Services Administration are being warned that their work will be heavily monitored, from their swipes into the office to what they type on their computers.

“Those employees who remain are being warned to expect their actions to be surveilled, from their swipes into government facilities to the keystrokes they type on their computers.”

Definite Big Brother energy here.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers.

That you give everyone $2-$3.

But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

🚨🚨🚨

Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

The Acting President discusses affairs of state, while the young boy and the old man share their boredom.

By making the status report filings a condition of this TRO, Judge Kelley (a Biden appointee) is making sure that the Trump Administration can't play fast and loose with compliance.

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis.

And this is what the White House is focused on.

In 2014 when I cared for Ebola patients in West Africa, there were no vaccines or treatments. Now, we’ve got both. All FDA approved and ready in the event of an outbreak here or abroad. And we have them largely because of NIH funding and research support. Just sayin

The United States by virtue of a bipartisan commitment to biomedical research created one of the most vibrant, productive research ecosytems in the world. People came from all over to study here, do research here. It was a monumental accomplishment by both parties. 1/

A statement from the Kennedy Center

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

PSA: They’re killing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it protects you from them.

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

If you needed any additional proof that Trump is in bed with Putin and the Russian oligarchs, here you go.

Trump economy:
* fewer jobs added than expected
* market falls again on tariff fears
* inflation moving up
* February consumer sentiment falls, lower than expected
* oh, and egg prices UP
I’m exhausted from all the winning already.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍
