Holy hell. Who were you going to see?! Can I recommend mine?? Dr. NINA CASANOVA @ CHERRY CREEK might be a bit of a drive but her and her PA Holly are amazing! They've been very communicative and gentle with me, even accommodating me with telehealth for simple follow-ups & they don't start with THAT!
@astridindigo.bsky.social I got you a gift 🎁! Okay, 3 gifts. You should message me!
I don't visit Bsky often but I think of you!
A federal judge in Maryland issued a temporary restraining order on Monday, blocking members of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency team and anyone “working on the DOGE agenda at the Department of Education” from accessing sensitive data until March 10.
Simultaneously, sections of NOAA’s website displaying climate data have become unavailable. They are systematically going through the system, removing content at their discretion. More details to follow.
Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.
Musk posted on X today, stating, “Medicare is where the big money fraud is happening.” The Department of Health and Human Services spends nearly $2 trillion annually, mostly on health insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid, making it a prime target.
They have also sought access to payment and contracting systems across HHS, which manage hundreds of billions of dollars in annual payments to health care providers. Musk’s staff has already gained access to these systems, including CMS’s grant-management system.
These moves came after Musk’s team gained access to sensitive health payment systems within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CDC, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Musk’s staffers fanned out across several agencies today, sending representatives to the Atlanta headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and meeting with the Labor Department to seek access to sensitive data.
Attorney General Pam Bondi stated in a memo: “Any attorney who, due to personal political views or judgments, declines to sign a brief, appear in court, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the administration,
The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.
Elon staffers are using private emails, violating federal law.
On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service.

She breaks down the sunset clause on tax breaks for the wealthy passed in 2017 (Trump's first term in office) which expire in 2025. The ultra wealthy want these tax breaks increased and it's going to cost $4T. Think about that.
Find and call your reps, both senators and your congress person. Tell them your zip code and how concerned you are. Ask them what steps they are taking. Change banks? Delay filing taxes until the last minute in the hopes that the treasury access is regained by responsible parties? Build community.
The breach extends further, giving Musk’s associates access to systems related to employee onboarding, job performance reviews, and healthcare management. This raises serious concerns about potential violations of federal privacy laws, including those protecting health information under HIPAA.
Musk’s team has been reviewing these position descriptions to identify and target roles, including those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which have subsequently been removed.
Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.
Americans have a right to be informed.
Our coalition is a peaceful resistance—a group of tree-huggers dedicated to keeping Americans informed.
