Elon Musk promised to slash the U.S. budget. But his actions may cost the government as much as $135 billion in this fiscal year alone, according to recent estimates.

NEW: @cnn.com confirms that hundreds of FBI agents have been reassigned away from criminal and counterterrorism investigations to instead work with ICE to round up migrants. The security impacts are clear — and may be why the FBI is alleged to be hiding any paper trail.

Pretending people are MS13/TDA, shipping them to a gulag without any process, and it’s all part of a cover up of actual MS13 gang members. My god.

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill. But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about. 1/ A quick🧵

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

I’ll never get over how softly media carried the insane bailouts WE paid to farmers to cover the catastrophe of his first term tariffs. It didn’t get emphasized in debates or in response to his campaign tariff threat.HE TRIED THIS ALREADY. We paid. Remember? From 2020. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

a heist movie but instead of stealing anything i just sneak into wherever the large hadron collider is and bop it with a wrench until we end up in a timeline that isn’t so fucking stupid

All Christian Nationalist churches who hosted political rallies and platforms in support of this misanthropic demonic Administration sure as shit better be opening their coffers wide to their congregation and community in acquiring food and basic necessities!
