Trump v. Biden v. Trump s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

CISA – a federal agency that helps secure elections from foreign threats and disinformation – has placed its employees on administrative leave. The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. at risk.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Representation without taxation for a handful of billionaires, taxation without representation for the rest of us.

JFK on why he founded USAID. “The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

Walking around my house, looking at my phone muttering “don’t love that” over and over

GE boasted $7 billion in profit in 2023. So it must have paid a lot in federal taxes, right? If you guessed $1, you’d still be high. In fact, GE got a *refund* of $423 million. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged for the rich.
