“The February employment report is the first of the Trump administration. While we are not likely to pick up much of the effect of the DOGE cuts, we should see some impact. ... However, we are likely to see an effect on the hiring side. Many businesses have put hiring plans on hold, as they wait to see what DOGE will try to cut and what the courts will uphold.”

Fuck #TMobile. Users of the service are now in league with #elonmusk. This isn’t an electric car that will stop you from polluting. You can get a #cellphone from other providers. They won’t be the second biggest investment you can make in your life. “But I need #starlink. I live too far from cities to get the #internet”. You’re also a #racist asshole who lives away from people to avoid knowing that your greed hurts others.

The Senator brings up a good point: does the Cabinet *really* matter than much right now? 🤔

Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) is urging Republicans to call on Elon Musk to testify before the Senate labor committee in order to probe who in the Trump administration is truly in charge, as the Senate continues advancing cabinet picks in spite of Musk seemingly being behind most major decisions.”

Some of this feels a bit ageist, but if they’re not willing to to fight for their constituents, then they need to go, whoever they are: “Democratic officials have taken their base for granted for far too long. ... And even if primary challenges don’t succeed, they are still worth doing to put some fear into electeds, and force them to stand up to Trump.”
