While Elon Musk and Donald Trump continue their public break up and tear down, the real story is the man replacing Musk at DOGE: Russell Vought. Democracy Docket dug into Vought and his plans to wreak havoc on millions of Americans. Fund reporting that focuses on facts and cuts through the noise.

Trump's lawsuits are failing him, so he's proposed a new rule letting the Office of Personnel Management fast-track the firing of federal employees, giving agencies just five days to act once OPM flags “misconduct,” including leaks or refusal to testify. www.reuters.com/business/wor...

"Tim Garner couldn’t help but notice that Republicans want to use money now going to health care to help offset the cost of their big tax cuts for the wealthy. 'It just feels like we’re comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted,' he said."

While Tapper presses a former president's health, the sitting president is telling the world that Biden was executed in 2020 & replaced by a robot. These are unserious people holding the rudder as we careen towards the rocky shoreline.... that they laced with mines.

😂😂😂

The Trump administration is arguing that a Maryland federal court lacks the authority to require the return of wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia because he’s in prison in El Salvador, even though the U.S. Supreme Court has directed  officials to “facilitate” his return.

RSVP and then attend a local protest in your area instead: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=5...

This guy went to jail for screwing over nurses and doctors at his nursing homes—taking $10 million from their paychecks to buy a yacht. His mom goes to a $1 million per person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, and now he’s pardoned. These are the people Trump looks after. Not you.

🦬 Another federal career employee — gone. All because they stood up to the cruelty and incompetence of DOGE.

NBC News - shut up. Seriously. STFU. You absolute cowards. T-Rump is President, not Biden. Who gives a flying F about news from last admin? He left us with a kickass economy and minimal chaos. REPORT ON THE IDIOT IN CHARGE. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Here is the Disabled American Veterans response to “iGolf Shitler’s” push for Veterans Day be renamed to “Victory Day for World War I.” Make sure to read the whole thing….they actually make a very compelling argument. www.dav.org/learn-more/n...

The skinny budget landed like a brick on our desks yesterday and it took me a minute to calm down enough to start posting. For those of you who did the math HUD -45%. Our biggest programs wiped off the 🗺️. So despite all the rhetoric from dear leader about Housing being a priority clearly it’s not.

This may be the most obscene thing this man has ever done on social media It’s offensive at a level I’m struggling to articulate, but we can start with the fact that he’s again framing himself as God’s chosen representative on Earth when he is, remember, a _serial sexual predator_

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

DOGE continues to target federal employees and DOD agencies, and is initiating a “pilot reorganization” of one civilian DOD agency in upcoming weeks.

Meanwhile, regular federal employees or service members with clearances would be instantly fired and charged if they communicated classified information - even to each other - via any platform other than approved secure government networks.

This is bribery, which is a crime. I hope Wisconsin voters know that. Accepting a bribe is a crime also.

Another cowardly sycophant that wants to destroy the elderly and disabled. How did we end up with the most unethical fuckwits running our institutions?? I hate this.

Can’t make this up.

Self-serving cowards with zero integrity. Every one of them. #republicans

Under this plan, which the administration is considering, the designation as a military-controlled "buffer zone" would allow troops to conduct law enforcement actions that are generally prohibited under Posse Comitatus - weaponizing the US military against migrants. www.newsweek.com/map-shows-wh...

Today is definitely a WTF day He wants to own and run the Ukrainian power plants as part of the peace deal?? WTF? OH HELL NO! www.newsweek.com/trump-told-z...

Many thousands of DOD civilian jobs to be cut, a significant number will be veterans and they are still targeting probationary employees despite recent court rulings. www.wric.com/news/u-s-wor...

These people need to be stopped at all costs: Border czar Tom Homan said he doesn’t care what the judges think about the deportation flights. “I’m proud to be a part of this administration. We’re not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think. I don’t care.” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Ah yes, there it is - I was trying to figure out the underlying reason for this and of course, it is the racism.

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.

"Don’t speak out. Don’t stand up. Don’t apply your principles consistently. Just go along with the party and you’ll keep your job. This is a dereliction of duty by a Senate required under the Constitution." ICYMI John Avlon: www.thebulwark.com/p/senate-rep...

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

This seems like a good time for the OG CIA to step up & take care of some things.
