My pinned article that was featured on my Twitter/X account, a critical exploration of Christian Nationalism and the Council for National Policy, an ultra-conservative cabal that the Heritage Foundation, sponsor of Project 2025, is a member of. https://t.co/ClBmsYLMoh
Roughly 275,000 federal workers lost their jobs this week. That's over 10% of the federal workforce.
~75,000 took the "buyout"
~200,000 probationary workers were let go (the WH has not confirmed the total, but this is how many were on probationary status)
That's a lot of lives upended. And many gov't services will be impacted. While most organizations can survive a 10% cut, keep in mind these cuts were not even across the gov't. Many agencies hit hard in Trump's first term are being decimated now.
In RFK Jr.’s first statement since becoming HHS Secretary, he applauded Trump dismantling USAID, calling it “a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war across the globe.”
His uncle, President John F. Kennedy, created USAID 64 years ago.
What a disgrace to his family.
Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican Presidents going back to Ronald Reagan. 3/4 of the accumulated debt of this country is due to Republican Presidents who didn't pay for their spending—so much for Republican's being the party of fiscal responsibility.
Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
This shelter was built by Ukraine together with other countries of Europe and the world, together with America – all those committed to real security for humanity. The only country in the world that attacks such sites, occupies nuclear power plants, and wages war without any regard for the consequences is today’s Russia. This is a terrorist threat to the entire world.
The shelter at the Chornobyl NPP was damaged by this drone. The fire has been extinguished. As of now, radiation levels have not increased and are being constantly monitored. According to initial assessments, the damage to the shelter is significant.
Every night, Russia carries out such attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure and cities. Russia continues to expand its army and shows no change in its deranged, anti-human state rhetoric. This means that Putin is definitely not preparing for negotiations — he is preparing to continue deceiving the world. That is why there must be unified pressure from all who value life – pressure on the aggressor. Russia must be held accountable for its actions.
Are you one of the 160 million women in America who have changed their name as a result of marriage? Republicans have now revived the Save Act to remove your right to register or update your voter registration. This prevents Americans from being able to register to vote by mail; ends voter registration drives nationwide; and eliminate online voter registration overnight—a service 42 states rely on.
I would suggest a call to your senator to make your feelings known is mission critical, or America is returning to the 1920s if this passes in the Senate.
In addition to the clip, I have included a link below to a piece from the Center for American Progress explaining the Bill.

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding @elonmusk's potential conflicts of interest.
Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt.
By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE.
I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?
It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership. By making these and others concessions before negotiations even started, Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin on Ukraine. 1/3

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.
Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.
Yet another reason he must be rejected.
