Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

The Courts Can’t Stop the Trump-Musk Coup
While the lawsuits being filed against the Trump-Musk administration are righteous, they will not “save” us from this nightmare.

Unless something dramatic happens in the interim, a birth certificate will no longer be sufficient to prove the citizenship of any child born in much of the United States after July 27.

Elon Musk is officially out at DOGE, but the mission is still alive. After the sloppy Musk-led approach backfired politically and legally, the Trump Admin is moving to a more methodical gutting of agencies led by Project 2025 architect Russell Vought.

With Musk Out, Russell Vought Quietly Advances DOGE Cuts To Tactical New Phase
The far-right mastermind behind Trump’s federal purges is no longer in the shadows. With Elon Musk and his loud approach out, Russell Vought is carrying out DOGE's mission more methodically.

This is the GOP’s plan for schools once they destroy the Department of Education: push kids into low-wage labor, kill critical thinking, and let the wealthy profit off a powerless workforce. Listen in as former Sec of Education Betsy DeVos explains 👇

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Upheaval at Education Department office sparks concern about services for English learners
The Trump Education Department says changes to the Office for English Language Acquisition will not affect funding or federal programs for students. But experts and others worry that the quality of their education and training for their teachers could suffer.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Destroying the Department of Education will hurt all students, sending class sizes soaring, cutting job training programs, making college more expensive for middle class families, and taking away special education services—just to start. Don't let it happen. Join us in taking action ⬇️

Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."

Definitely how you behave when you’re doing something legal
Early Friday morning, Mr. Gebbia arrived at O.P.M.’s downtown Washington D.C. headquarters in a black S.U.V. with a three-man security detail. He declined to comment as he was escorted inside by an O.P.M. official and one of his bodyguards.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.
I lost my job. USDA Forest Service.


My probation was up next week.


I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a master’s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it.


Public lands don’t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect don’t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know.


And now? Just like that, I’m out.


Edit: I’ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

Elon Musk’s Vision Is Coming Into Focus—And It Looks a Lot Like Neo-Apartheid
Apartheid was, first and foremost, a business plan—one that the South African-born Musk seems to be reworking for the modern age.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Tell your Dept of Education you want the same: NC, PA, NJ, NY, CT, CA, MA, DE. Call you Gov’s or State Ed Depts and tell them you want this. Teachers’ unions likewise. @rweingarten.bsky.social Teachers & school administrators need to know what to do.
