FYI: Direct File is still available & safe to use for 32 million people in 25 states. Elon Musk said he "deleted" 18F, an agency that worked on Direct File. This caused a lot of confusion, but Direct File is still up & running. Help us combat Musk's misinformation & pass it

To federal employees eyeing Trump's federal employee buyout scheme, consider this: We don’t even have a budget in place. Trump lacks the appropriations to fund his promises. Buyout authority has a $25K limitation, by law.

Democrats failing us alongside GOP who are lost. Disgraceful and immoral and pointless. Designed to cage climate change refugees that the powerful know are coming bc of uncheck fossil fuel greed making parts uninhabitable. The ultra rich think they can survive irregardless
UPDATE: voting is happening now, and enough Democrats have already joined Republicans that the filibuster can be broken and this monstrosity will become law.

Could not be more disgusted at fellow Californians. Not surprised at Kamala, bc a former prosecutor can’t help themselves.
Prop 36 in California which increases penalties for repeated theft offenses and certain drug crimes - and which Kamala Harris declined to give position on last days of the campaign is currently leading in *every single* country in California and has 70% support.

We have a BIG big media problem that must be dealt with. Likely by shifting away from Corp media to quality independent and local news sources and following incredible journalism like @Will_Bunch and @NC5PhilWilliams
Again, the media, the people who own the media, *want* Trump to win and they’re doing what they can to make that happen.
