Perhaps the first lay off could be that old discolored guy who spends his time sleeping in meetings when he's not playing golf? It seems like buying all that MacD and KFC for that guy is a total waste of taxpayer dollars.
Journalists don't tell you what to think. They report facts. And the Post is doing a good a job as any news organization reporting the bullshit. Pay attention.
Also, in a world where ALL the largest news agency in america does it tell people what to think, it is ESSENTIAL that other media attempts to counteract the misleading nature of how news is delivered. Anything less is a failure.
You are welcome to your opinion, but I disagree. I think their failure to adequately call out Trump lies and treating the democrats the same as they treated trump before the election, along with failing to endorse, caused a false equivalency and directly lead to his victory again. That's my opinion.
No journalist, Congress person or Senator calls this president on anything that he does that negatively affects our government, its people or its allies. If they did, everyone would see, ( what a good number of us know), there is no substance or intelligence behind his facade.
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
From the Post article: "The document lists the Department of Housing and Urban Development as cutting half of its roughly 8,300-person staff, while the Interior Department would shed nearly 1 in 4 of the workers it had when Trump took office, and the IRS would cut nearly 1 in 3."
The administration will probably waffle, backtrack or double down numerous times before anything happens. They don't know what they're doing and never will. Malign interests will exploit the chaos, which is the point.
Trump doesn't care about national parks. Doesn't care about our Veterans. Doesn't care about our neighbors. Doesn't care about us having clean food, water, and air. Trump just doesn’t care...
All those are supported by federal workers. These cuts hurt us all.
Soooo... where's the document??? According to your reporting there's 22 agencies affected... I probably work at one. Woulda been SWELL if you included a link to that document.
Fucking hell.
You don't turn an aircraft carrier around in ten minutes! They are killing the government and *that* is the point. They only care about their wealthy toadies. Keep their bank accounts filled and safe. That's it! Just so blatant! #WealthyToadies
All these budget cuts and staff purges to federal agencies are solely for one purpose only… to recover and confiscate funds that will be used to pay for the extended Trump tax cuts.
Trump knows that without gutting other departments, extending the tax cuts would massively increase the deficit.
Because Jeff Bezos & the Wapo refuse to pay their fair share and want to kill off 100,000,000 American citizens who made him rich buying Chinese trash from his mom’s garage..
Congrats Wall St.
they're going to leave just enough 'government' left to enrich themselves and carry out their corrupt agenda... 👿☠️
Our nation is being dismantled before our eyes
We are a NATION AT RISK 🚨🚨
Our federal taxes won't go down with the severe reductions in services but will go up to let the billionaires & corporations pay less while our state and property taxes will go up to try to pick up some of the slack. There is no upside to all of this for the public, only more WFA of our tax dollars.
Thank you Project 2025.You have destroyed our democracy.But from the ashes of our constitution WE WILL tax corporate at 28%.WE WILL tax oligarchs at0.1%. WE WILL have health care for all. WE WILL be friends with our neighbors.WE WILL be environmental friendly. We will have a constitution convention!
Project 2025, under Bannon's understanding, was to "replace" the "deep state" with maga loyalists. That is not Musk's understanding. The outcome is simply shrinking the gov't to basic function, without replacing. This means maga goes nowhere, like rest of us, but they're still laughing at us.

That was crystal clear in 2016 but the country chose not to notice then or now.
When the actions hurt people themselves, there's a chance for change.
But the Dems suck at messaging, so...
Fucking hell.

Will we be paying way less in taxes to the federal government and more to city, county, and state?
What states would suffer the most?

If only our moronic population didn’t elect a mob boss.
