100 Days, a Trillion Dollars: DOGE’s Costs Keep Adding Up www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/29/1... SUCH a mess ! And all it would take to stop this is the tiniest bit of courage from a handful of Republicans. We also need more righteous anger from Democrats -- they have to catch up with the public

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Today is *not* a “peaceful transfer of power.” It’s the completion of a violent coup attempt that began this morning four years ago. Yes, Trump won the ‘24 election; but he was only able to run because we failed to fully confront the fact of that violent coup attempt.

Fox News is NOT news ! People can watch it, if they feel they must, but they need to be reminded that it is nothing more than right-wing propaganda. Pretending otherwise is denying reality
