“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.”

The Senator brings up a good point: does the Cabinet *really* matter than much right now?
“Sen. 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.”

The Democrats absolutely need to stand up and be the ones framing the debate, and the fight against this insanity:
“Stories about average Americans being hurt by the freeze on popular domestic programs are powerful—of course we should lead with those. But stories about betraying American values and the Americans who sacrifice for our country overseas can be powerful, too.”

How to Organize Our Way Out of the Trump-Musk Putsch
"We have planted ourselves in stubborn opposition to monomaniacal fascists of one form or another for a quarter of a millennium. No entitled reality-TV has-been backed by an addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games is going to roll over us now."

Our founding fathers knew.
We’re just gonna let them down surrendering or sovereignty and freedom to accept our unelected Emperor with his DOGE overlords weaponizing AI and stolen US federal data against all his subjects.
Just shit-can the whole damn nation for LOLs and “owning the libs” while transferring the last bit of value out of 99% of people’s lives.

US Cyber Agency Puts Election Security Staffers Who Worked With the States on Leave https://www.securityweek.com/us-cyber-agency-puts-election-security-staffers-who-worked-with-the-states-on-leave/
@percepticon so the people responsible for securing elections in the US are on administrative leave now…
By now, anyone who isn’t speaking as if the US was a democracy (in the past tense) is severely misinformed.

“For people on the ground in mountain communities, small towns and rural areas, the cuts were nothing short of devastating. They came with no explanation, warning or discernment, and the impact on public land and wildlife, observers say, will be felt for years.”

“Just because Musk has, so far, gotten away with what appears to be brazen disregard for the ethical requirements of his job, doesn’t mean those requirements don’t exist. It simply underscores that what is happening to the government of the United States is not a legitimate rearrangement—but an illegal hijacking.”
