No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Wait until you find out that the United States has deported dozens of American citizens in the last decade. 70 between 2015 and 2020. And that was when he wasn’t trying. Oh and I’m an attorney too. This is just factually incorrect.

If the government can arrest a U.S. resident living here legally without charges and deport them, that is a grave threat to the civil liberties of all of us. Politics has no business here. This is a direct attack on free speech and our constitutional rights. www.cbsnews.com/amp/newyork/...

Yesterday, JAMA published a piece showing that abortion bans have led to a 5.6% increase in infant mortality bc (1) bans bans force people to birth babies with severe fetal anomalies that do not survive & (2) bans affect high-risk patients the most. Short thread: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

We could probably fund 7 more NSFs just by auditing the DOD and getting them to stop buying tanks and putting them in warehouses to rot A 2021 audit found - just in the Navy - $4.3 bil in "untracked materials" (stuff they didn't know they'd purchased) NSF annual budget is ~$9 billion #chemsky 🧪
An imagine showing various ways to save money in the department of the defense, specifically "the navy reported that it had identified more than $4.3 billion in untracked materials such as equipment and supplies - which can save on purchase costs by making items available for requisition"

OPM employees can contact me securely on Signal at marisakabas.04 www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM.

I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen.

In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen.

The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest “yes man” you'll ever meet. He never says no. It’s clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck.

Under his name, they’ve sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn’t even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security.

Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency.

Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen.
