That a government site can be used so obviously for partisan propaganda is wild.

You ain't seen nothin yet! Go and study 1930s Germany. Before the war. Even before the invasions of other countries. Look how they used their government to cement nazi propaganda.
Now look at the USA today. Kinda feels like 1935 Germany I'd say. If that alone doesn't scare the shit out of you, then I redirect your attention back to studying, because you clearly missed everything to be gained by studying history.
History never repeats itself, but it often rhymes.
Exactly this. Everyone jumps to Germany invading countries and the Holocaust, but it all started with propaganda and control.
We’re farther along masked men are “disappearing” people and they can’t be found. I’d say we’re moving much faster
Hopefully that means fascism crashes and burns twice as fast.
Remember, the nazis died because Hitler shot himself. But he only shot himself because the whole world was ready to do it for him. We put enough pressure that it was the only outcome either way.
Lets take that fight to the GOP. Not trump, the GOP. Because if trump is gone, some other pedophile asshole would be happy to take his place. Remember, as much as it feels like he is, trump isn't THE problem. He's just the current face of the problem.

Jesus Christ America
I think most people didn’t believe this piece of treasonous shit would win after helping to foment the January 6 insurrection. And yet here we are.
There’s also this fundamental drive to roll back women’s lib bubbling beneath the surface which, apparently, is popular with young men.
I swear I'll never understand this mindset where young men think that 1) they'll automatically be assigned a woman that meets their specifications and 2) that will magically solve all their problems. It's such a juvenile way of looking at the world. It's why some women can't wait for sexbots so these chuds can be placated and leave us the fuck alone.
They don't want a partner, they want a sex toy.
The people orchestrating this shit have told us exactly what they want (Project 2025), and it includes women losing basic bodily autonomy, as well as the right to vote.
I think a lot of them know exactly what it means, and it's what they want.
It’s cute that you think this about sex. It’s not. Things would be so much easier, long game, with MAGA if this was just a pleasure problem. Take a dive into the manosphere if you must, but I’ll save you the ick and tell you the heart and spine of most of it isn’t about sex on the level of pleasure and could never be touched by a sex bot.
This is about procreation. Legacy. Men can’t have personal legacy without us and there is a political movement that is angry, driven, and even feeling fundamentally betrayed and rancorous for the current societal setup as well as those engaged in maintaining that societal setup for “robbing” them of this “basic necessity of life”. Even though the above necessarily involves another human being, alongside the probable erasure of that human beings liberty, that is second to this raw want of legacy in the form of babies made with their own sperm.
Trad wives. Roe falling. Discussions to ban birth control and IUDs. Discussions on how to incentivize birth rate increases. Kennedy looking at mifepristone, potentially to pull it entirely. A national security order that names behaving in an unchristian manner as treasonous, allowable for federal law enforcement to pursue.
Consider that last one within the context of women’s liberation and the MAGA ethos. Does it mean that someone is going to come to your house right now and arrest you? No, it doesn’t work like that, they can’t logistically arrest everyone. What the guideline does do is put potential in their pocket to create examples so the rest of the nation will self regulate in alignment with what they want. What’s unchristian? Getting an abortion in a blue state? If a husband brings suit will this be on the SCOTIS docket? What will haven to divorce? I don’t know how this plays out, but the potential is there with that latest national security guideline.
An entire manosphere movement wrapped up in discussing falling birth rates and how it could cause the economic collapse of a nation, in addition to rolling out “experts”, some of them women, who discuss how mentally unhealthy this present societal setup is for women and how much happier women would be reclaiming their role as mothers. We’re built for motherhood and have also thus been betrayed by the current societal setup (not my sentiment, as a reminder, this being Lemmy).
That last paragraph describes the body of high consumption material for young men within the manosphere.
We need to not lose sight of that in the coming days. Heritage still exists and it’s still working within this administration. There’s a reason P25 has removal of HIPAA for anything reproductive on the to do list.
I think MAGA is waiting for a tighter grip on control before they double down on 51% of the population. It’s a bullet in the MAGA gun, one that’s even chambered a round already and is waiting to line up a shot once they remove some of these vision obstructing liberties.

Jesus Christ America is going to be the new healthcare plan for the needy people who lose coverage in to fund Trump’s billionaire tax cuts. Pray to Jesus.
Goodness.
Further down:
“God blessed us with this great nation, and together, we can increase self-sufficiency and empower Americans to climb the economic ladder toward a brighter future.”
- Secretary Scott Turner
Not much better if you ask me.
And OP wasn't kidding, the very same text comes up again as a pop-up after a while. And again whatever internal link I click. I have no words.
Further down
"Helping Americans"
I actually clicked on that and first of all the phrasing is nationalistic and exclusionary, but the page was really meh: just some further links to click on if you, well, need help with something.
Also the pretty web design of the front page falters into something that could've been made in 2010.

From elsewhere:
The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.
How to File a Hatch Act Complaint: https://osc.gov/Services/Pages/HatchAct-FileComplaint.aspx
Who is going to read it and would they actually do anything?
To this effect hasn't most of the UN nations voted to recognize Gaza as a nation state but because America is funding the war who gives a shit
Those complaints are going straight into a shredder.
This administration has been blatant about putting right wing allies into major positions of power in the government and basing decision-making on partisan politics in every branch, at every level of government.
Those that play ball are promoted, those that don't, like the CDC director, get replaced.
Rule one for fighting tyranny: do not obey in advance.
Not taking advantage of the legal protections at our disposal is to obey in advance.
Despair is easy. Fighting back is hard.

I say make them and it then, keep sending
This is a lie, of course.
There was no debate or vote on any funding bill.
Mike Johnson literally just shut the government down to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying to you, full stop.
I would still consider the possibility he did it only due to a bribe, not enough intelligence to lead, DEI hire.

Fucking gross and embarrassing.
The GOP has a majority in both houses...
Of course they do! But the Woke Left™️ is somehow infinitely weak and powerless, while also being endlessly insurmountably strong, and this cognitive dissonance is why Fascist rhetoric is so effective. It allows them to feel permanently powerful and in control, while ALSO raging endlessly against whatever Out-Group they hate somehow controlling everything behind the scenes, spawning an infinite cycle of hatred, vitriol, and violence that only ever ends in blood.
It's bullshit, plain and simple, but it's terrifyingly effective bullshit, because you cannot rationally convince them that it IS bullshit. It relies explicitly on whoever believes it being willing to purposely ignore reality in favor of vibes and rage, which modern Republican voters have been purpose bred (metaphorically) for over the last 50 years through FOX News.
Ah yes, the radical left that has mysterious control of 3 branches of government even in the minority. Is it possible to learn these powers?
We have more genders so its easier to overrun the government
Is it possible to learn these powers?
Not from an ethical person.
So, an official government channel is saying it's something else's fault.
Very mature and very professional.
Did you expect mature and professional?
If so, I have some land in the Bahamas you might be interested in.
The radical left that the US has famously had at all since the fifties or something.
And Americans will believe them and keep voting red
The lies never stopped in American history. From the very first day it was a lie in the creation declaration that "all men are created equal" America is just a nation of lies and will forever be so.

Aw did the nasty dems play hardball? Aww. Poor ickle republicunts.
They didn't even get a chance to play hardball. There was no debate or vote on a funding bill at all.
Mike Johnson shut the government down to prevent the newly elected rep from New Mexico from being the final vote needed to force a discharge petition that would circumvent Johnson's stonewalling of the Epstein files being released.

The "We and our 4.220 closest partners are using cookies to..." is missing.
They're basically telegraphing their next move. Anyone associated with left wing ideology might as well go to underground ops now.
Or start exercising their second amendment rights.
And non-US leftists should really reconsider using US technology that logs their data.
Sadly trumps cult will believe this and react accordingly.
Something something ... Bully pulpit
At some point isn't this false messaging just liabel?
