“Some $380M is now in limbo after reductions in the federal workforce affected staff that run a program helping low-income people pay their energy bills.
LIHEAP helps ~6M people survive blistering summers & freezing winters, many whom face greater risks now that the year’s warm season has already brought unusually high temperatures.”

"Fired Govt Workers Are Pissed Off & Running for Office. Could an army of dismissed feds deliver wins for Democrats up and down the ballot?“
"For me to be attacked by my own president & the unelected richest fucking man in the world telling me that this career that I’ve spent 45 years manifesting is no longer? I just couldn’t stand by & watch that happen.🚨I’m angry and I’m motivated.”

"HUGE PROTESTS are the most impt thing we can do right now. As MLK said: “there's no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.”
I’m talking🚨numbers so large they shock ppl -friend & foe & media alike.
I know it can feel overwhelming.
The lawlessness & extremism & corruption—the cruelty—all feeling like they’re accelerating week after week.
Simple: Join a protest. This weekend."

Our worst enemies couldn't design a better way to harm our govt than what's going on right now.”
“There’s no real method to it -no geopol connection."
Under Musk: admin is firing 1000s of prob employees. The effort has upended the lives of govt workers.
“Move fast & break things,” If that involves breaking the law, then that becomes problematic.”
#Trump largely speaks to the country thru SM posts that go viral...

#HHS INFRA destruction: jeopardizes millions of ppl's lives!
Much of the IT & cybersec INFRA underpinning the🚨US #health system: in DANGER OF A POSSIBLE COLLAPSE following a purge of IT staff & l'ship at #HHS -could put #publichealth data, incl the sensitive health records of 100s of Ms of Americans, clinical trial data... at risk of exposure.

It said it had saved exactly $318,310,328.30.
#Musk’s group has now triggered mass #firings across the government, & sharp cutbacks in #humanitarian #aid around the world. Musk has justified those disruptions with two promises: that the group would be transparent, & that it would achieve budget cuts that others called impossible.
Now, watching the group pare back its aims & puff up its progress, some of its allies have grown doubtful about both.
“Scientists forced to perform humiliating new job amid Trump cuts.”
I wish that this article was from the Onion, but it’s actually news from the Daily Mail, that’s unfortunately the awful truth about the possible fate of scientists who were fired by the Trump admin by way of Musk’s DOGE.
It’s Trump who should be made to perform humiliating jobs in prison, for the rest of his life.

"Absolutely unacceptable. This'll cut so many good jobs in Houston & beyond.
We all know that NASA, & the contractors that support it, fuels new innovation.
We must have *bipartisan* outrage against this to quickly remove these bad cuts from Trump’s disastrous budget!"

There's nothing altruistic, noble, artistic, visionary, scientific... in the #TrumpMusk regime.
Trump’s #firings at #HHS incl the entire office that sets fed poverty guidelines, which det whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for health programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, child care, & other services.
Let them eat cake!
The Trump admin won't give Americans in need, cake, or virtually any food or help -halted FDA programs that benefited local farmers, schoolchildren, & #foodbanks, childcare programs, health svcs...
Recent cuts eliminated a small, specialized workforce that sets the poverty standards determining who is eligible for Medicaid as well as assistance with food, home heating, child care, and more.
"The CDC has rejected a request from health officials in Milwaukee for help with a lead poisoning investigation, after HSS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. eliminated the agency's response team."
Trump & RFK Jr find sinister ways to sicken & kill us.
