If I am understanding correctly this is DOGE's version of "gov't efficiency" Blast an unbaked email, create mass confusion, make managers dream up their interpretation of the guidance, and then days later say, "Nevermind." Then another email kicks off the whole process again. Gov't efficiency!

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Trump is doing things that are unpopular and hurt Americans because he knows there won’t be any more elections. He believes he is untouchable.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Why would anyone who is a patriot and loves this country do this? Because Trump isn’t a patriot and doesn’t love this country. And together we must stop him.

There is no plan to lower egg prices, as Trump confirmed earlier today by pivoting to lies about the southern border. Trump is also diverting DHS agents from efforts combatting fentanyl and human trafficking so they can round up immigrant moms and dads instead: americasvoice.org/press_releas...

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

At what point do we call this a constitutional crisis?! Russell Vought is Trump’s path to authoritarianism. “He was so clear to us that he believes that it’s a President’s power to ignore the laws as written, that it’s a President’s power to ignore the Constitution.” - @jeff-merkley.bsky.social

At a certain point, looking around to point fingers at people is counterproductive. We're in this moment and playing the blame game doesn't help. What matters is what we do next and how we survive this. It might mean a lot of strange alliances and strategic cooperation.

An unelected billionaire is illegally seizing control of the US government apparatus and carrying out a flurry of crimes as part of an unprecedented authoritarian power grab that directly violates several laws and the US Constitution. Say it plainly. It’s fact.

If you don’t stand up for rule of law, nothing else matters. It’s the mechanism of accountability in democracies. If Trump can do anything he wants with shutting down agencies, it’s naive to imagine he will follow the rules in elections and beyond. Preserving rule of law is existential to democracy.

Elon, et al. are out to privatize everything—as much as possible. Why do you think that is? As you consider your answer remember: Government finance prioritizes accountability & transparency, while private-sector finance focuses on profitability & shareholder value. Who’s in this administration?
