@RpsAgainstTrump Mistakingly publishing any more classified war plans on social media, Pete?

@RepRaskin Americans will suffer as our personal data is stolen and our federal government is dismantled with no regard to actually helping us. The negative, uninformed, infantile responses, lacking evidence or understanding, are tragic. X has become a sewer.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

Nine minutes on hold and still no answers—UnitedHealthcare, are you serious?

UnitedHealthcare called me mid-surgery because they wanted justification for my patient’s diagnosis and inpatient stay—despite the surgery already being pre-approved. Worse? The rep didn’t even have full access to my patient's medical info.

After posting about it, United left a message at my office with a callback number. As a doctor, it’s nearly impossible to get through to someone at an insurance company, but I gave it a shot.

⏳I waited on hold for nearly 10 minutes—only to reach no one. I still don’t know what they wanted to discuss.

This isn’t just frustrating—it’s broken.

🚨How do we change this?

@HouseofElon @EllenLWeintraub @FEC Oh Vlad, aren't you late for your D&D with the other boys?

[Jason M. Sherman @JasonMSherman]

@EllenLWeintraub @FEC Thank you for defying Republican's illegal action and working to sustain free, fair elections. Thank you!!!

@RapidResponse47 Some people say things worthy of being ignored. You're one of them.

#musk #misinformation I have seen some alarming rumors that Elon Musk has purchased a $40 million Super Bowl ad in which he will falsely expose the “fraud” and “corruption” at USAID. https://t.co/4FTCPZIhJs

@wkyc @maureenkyle An important story. However, it would have been valuable for your audience to know that cancer research is funded by the NIH, which has been "paused" by the current administration.

[Jason M. Sherman @JasonMSherman]

@maureenkyle Touching story about Sasha's cancer fight and Cleveland Clinic research. It would have been valuable to mention that cancer research is funded by the NIH. The current administration has paused NIH processes, including cancer research. Look into it.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Read/copy/repost if you can
From an anonymous OPM employee on Reddit. submitted 3 hours ago by Throwaway918284: "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.
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. We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road.
The non-political civil servants here at OPM are watching helplessly as our government is being systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are being fired to prevent them from investigating the numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed.
Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out there can help us, but it’s looking pretty grim."

Because it is abundantly clear that there is no separating MAGA from Nazis and the KKK, I offer this powerful reminder from Edie Falco.

@realDonParody What an idiot, opportunistic, lying sack.

[Jason M. Sherman @JasonMSherman]

@teammoreno2024 Uh. No. They're not. And, Trump killed a bipartisan border deal earlier this year.
