It sounds like the admin is listening to a court order about the CFPB They agreed - not transfer money from the reserves - Not relinquish control, or ownership of the reserve funds - Not return any of the money to the USDT - Or take steps to reduce money available in the bureau until Feb 28

Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ? This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked. Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues. @bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

To recap: *The career Treasury official who said it was illegal for DOGE to control the US payment system has resigned *The contractor who warned of security risks was fired *Musk is campaigning to fire the reporter who exposed the DOGE employee posting racist messages Pattern?

Thanks to a lawsuit by AFGE, NAGE, and @afscme.bsky.social, DT’s federal employee buyout offer will be paused until a Monday hearing. This means that the offer which was supposed to close tonight will stay open until Monday and we’ll see what the ruling says after that. 1/2

That’s right. Communicate from a position of strength and confidence. Make it hard for the other side to get a rhetorical lever in edgewise. Dooming leaves cracks that can be exploited. Learn to step away from that by taking care of your own mind before getting loud about stuff.

Fascists like Trump and DeSantis love to surround themselves with children for photo ops. The Soviets used that tactic too. The murderous Stalin was often depicted as a warm leader charmed by children. A common kids chant at festivals was: "Thank You, Dear Comrade Stalin, for a Happy Childhood!"

Another EPA employee said Trump’s effort to force civil servants to quit by making them all return to in-person work is backfiring at least somewhat at this agency. Being together has made them feel stronger and more connected, and ready to hunker down together.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
