Realize that virtually ALL of these agencies came about due to private business cheating and lying and scamming. So rules and watchdogs became necessary. The price of capitalism.
They cannot be trusted to honor that type of deal. Full funding for each agency and program must be explicitly spelled out in any bill Democrats support.
We got enough democrats to prevent budget bills going through on the senate. Schumer and the rest of the democrats need to refuse, even if it means being targeted by MAGA. I'm amazed by how republicans went from being all about following the law to following the leader the leader wherever he may go.
Trump and Elon Musk and their billionaire friends have engaged in a stunning rampage of open public corruption. It's not fundamentally different than what happened in Russia. These are efforts to steal from the American people to enrich themselves. And their strategy is to do it all out in the open
Vought wrote Project 2025, therefore he should be charged with treason which can be punished by death. There needs to be some serious examples made of these criminals who plot to hijack the government for retribution.
VAUGHT is a criminal, he is part of the problem and a writer of project 2025. He does need stopping. He is one of the instigators of all this Trump vileness.

MARTINEZ is describing the haphazard/tense arrival of DOGE at CFPB. Chris Young, a DOGE/OPM staffer, arrived on the night of Feb 7 and told him that two other staffers, who were supposed to come that night, were late because "they were being...stalked, tailed, followed harassed."
I have! I recorded DOGE entering CFPB at approximately 1pm on Feb 7. I stayed until just before 7pm and never saw any DOGE, to my knowledge, after that.
You are an American hero for posting about the hearing. All CFPB employees who were cut off on the phone are hanging on your every word. Be as detailed as you can!
MARTINEZ said the next morning, 3 DOGE officials came by to meet with career staff. Employees, who had gotten wind of their arrival, mounted a protest inside the building, some taking pictures of the new arrivals.
It says everything you need to know about Trump and Nazilon that they would eliminate an agency that *protects citizens* from bank and financial fraud.
During this exchange it seemed like the DOJ attorney (somewhat nonsensically) impeached Martinez on his knowledge for the justifications, even though they were sent to and approved by OPM
Can we find out who is paying these dog-ey staffers? Contracts usually take time to be approved. I don’t think I’ve seen anything on this. And contractors are not staffers - who take even longer to be hired- and don’t have the authority to manage budgets or hire or fire people. All seems dodgy
Has DOGE’s legitimacy as a Federal Department been established in court? If not they can fuck off right there. Having all that laid out in court would be fun.

"It was very contentious," Martinez said.
-Trump executive order
-Vought Feb. 10 email demanding total work stoppage.
Judge Jackson notes Vought's email "became the emergency that justified the RIF."
