WATCH: @SenatorLamar says the most vulnerable will be the most hurt by House Republicans slashing nearly $1 Trillion in Medicaid (to make way for tax cuts for the rich) — especially in rural communities.

She also says it isn’t “tough on crime” to hurt the already poor.

[loudondems @loudondems]

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt.
Call ur Senators

@timburchett Looking at you, Tim.

@timburchett Yes, otherwise, we’d have a king or dictator. It’s called checks & balances, Tim. At least on paper.

@GovBillLee 2.  WAGES - This state has the 7th lowest hourly wages in America with 44% of households unable to afford basic living expenses.

@GovBillLee 6.  GUN SAFETY - Gun shot wounds are the leading cause of death among Tennessee children.

@timburchett So was Putin.

It’s insane to me that we’re just… letting non-government personnel rifle through government code.

The SysAdmins have to be losing their fucking minds right now.

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."

Trump starts pointless trade war.

Canada threatens to retaliate by withholding electricity from the US.

Trump’s press sec says this is fine because Jesus didn’t have electricity.

Literally the dumbest possible timeline.

In case you’re wondering what’s about to get MORE expensive, helpful FOX scroll. 👀 #TrumpTradeWar

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Trump just fired around 40 prosecutors in the DC US Attorney’s office because they worked on Jan 6th related cases. This is some real dictator crap. Everything the Democrats predicted Trump would do, he’s doing.

We are in some very dangerous territory.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI.

Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis.

Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight.

Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

⚡️JUST NOW: “THIS IS AUTHORITARIANISM.”

@GovBillLee’s voucher scam passes Ed committee 17-7 after @CepickyTn64 @WilliamLamberth and House Republicans IMMEDIATELY call the question and don’t allow any questions on the BILLION-DOLLAR bill at all.

Cowardice in action.
