TSA Officers Have a Dire Warning for America
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3ciOdLCW5k
First Trump tore up the union contract covering 47,000 TSA workers. Then he did the same for almost a million more federal workers.
Now TSA workers are sounding the alarm.
They warn Trump is putting our safety in jeopardy — and it could lead to another 9/11.
"RU doesn’t get hit with Trump #tariffs bc WH says US doesn’t trade with RU (bc of the war).
US-RU trade is presently ~$3B/yr.
Which doesn’t sound like much until you realize: US also just hit Lesotho with 50% tariffs…& their entire GDP is just >$2B."
-I Bremmer
Some journalists understand that Trump is aligned with Putin, but they fail to connect the dots. Trump is sabotaging the US to draw closer to RU for trade... & to DESTROY THE FED GOVT for #privatization.

"Provincial policy and funding decisions are encouraging the movement of limited staff, including operating room nurses and anesthetists already in short supply, into the for-profit sector, which, keep in mind, only performs the lowest-complexity surgeries, does not provide emergency care and does not provide followup care,”

Jeremy Corbyn rails against greedy water companies

A private members bill contesting ownership of water companies is making it's way through Parliament.
Just this week, it was reported water companies are still dumping record litres of sewage into Britain's waterways.
“Privatization costs more, is less efficient, has worse outcomes, and people get less.
#DOGE has never been about finding fraud and waste. Its goal is to privatize essential government functions and give contracts to Trump and Elon’s circle of #oligarchs.”
-M D’Arrigo
If the #TrumpMusk regime succeeds in their goal of privatizing most of the fed govt, it’ll exacerbate health inequalities & destroy
the social safety net.

Gutting US health agency will allow for private sector takeover, experts warn
Robert F Kennedy, Trump’s health secretary, said he will be laying off nearly 20,000 workers, imperiling crucial services
Or in other words: Has to do to continue being described as having said role.
What does that tell us:
In terms of #privatisation, this means that preventing spending as much money on citizens as possible to increase that person's profits as much as possible is neither a mistake nor abuse of the process, it is what is to be expected of that role.

"NASA announced March 10 that it was closing the Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy; the Office of the Chief Scientist; and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Branch of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The employees of those offices, 23 in total, will be laid off."
Sounds to me like Musk is setting NASA up to be privatized and fully absorbed by his company SpaceX.
Postal employees rally against #DOGE: "It’s about rich versus poor. Who built this country? It wasn’t people in suits. It was people in coveralls."

“Trump: These tariffs we’re going to make a lot of money,” Susan told me. “Well, you’re stealing money from me.”
#Tariffs are devastating US businesses, & many: worldwide.
Trump's intent is to destroy the fed govt for #privatization.
Let's hope that there're more "Bacons" in Congress:
Rep Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed leg that gave the pres. some temporary tariff authorities."

"Treasury Department is set to lay off a ‘substantial’ number of employees, official says.'
“These plans will be tailored for each bureau, and in many cases will require separations of substantial numbers of employees through reductions in force (RIFs).'
The federal govt is being ransacked for #privatization. If Musk's DOGE isn't stopped soon, the damage may be permanent.

Worth reading! (Short.)
Three things:
1. I have to admit that "Incel Clown Posse" as a name for DOGE was new to me. 
2. How is it that Louis DeJoy is the only one in any part of government to slow-walk a DOGE invasion? Fucking DeJoy!?
3. Kiss the postal service goodbye.
