Trump plans to spend almost a trillion dollars on nuclear weapons over the next decade. This is a 25% increase on already bloated spending. Much of this is waste, such as $141 billion for new ICBMs that we are safer without. Why isn’t DOGE looking here? www.cbo.gov/publication/... - ThreadSky

This should scare everyone why does he need more nuclear weapons a accident would be a disaster.

Just a reminder that Trump’s approval rating is in the 30s. 100 days out. Lowest in history. Time for your colleagues in Congress to grow a spine and go on offense.

jvmoorewnc.bsky.social•9 days ago

Why aren’t you working with the House to impeach him!!!!

codiest.bsky.social•9 days ago

Why is it so hard for Americans to see what Trump is up to? It’s the secrets. Look for Russians and Saudis, among others.

This is nuts. Yes, the existing nukes are aging, but if 10% of them 'work' when needed, every last human on our planet would still perish within a year of their use.

"DOD regularly buys parts and equipment it doesn’t need because it can’t keep track of the parts and equipment it already owns"

"Efficiency" is not about laying off employees, it is about process improvement!

DOGE should've started their operation in DOD.

Stop asking this as a question and just say it. Doing it this way implies a certain amount of legitimacy to DOGE when none exists.

This is real tax payer waste that DOGE isn’t doing anything about because it’s a sham intended to steal your social security

We’ll need qualified people to look after them. Did they ever find the ones they fired a couple weeks ago? Zero faith that they did. In addition, their hiring practices are terrible. Maybe best to keep stockpile as is.

He probably wants more to threaten our former allies.

bluegirl55.bsky.social•8 days ago

We need to reach 12 million and more as fast as we can for the Peaceful Protests to be effective. We need to boycott as many goods and companies as possible. We have to come together as "We the People" to overcome this regime. This is "Mayday for May Day"

I thought there was a nuclear weapons treaty where we are locked into a certain amount and no more?!?

You people need to stop pretending DOGE is a real thing and get to work putting those vandals in prison.

anti-corrup-party.bsky.social•9 days ago

This statement is so incredibly weak and flawed it should be embarrassing. DOGE is illegitimate and fleecing the American people. It and Musk should be nowhere near the US government. This is a pivotal moment for the US. We are looking at real dictatorship soon, act like it. Gain a sense of urgency.

ducklady.bsky.social•8 days ago

DOGE is just Musk Rat's pet project to attack those he thinks has wronged him. It was created and allowed by the Rapist Trump as a way to thank Musk Rat for rigging the election. It's a joke, but not a funny one.

Stop treating DOGE as if it might have to do anything with government efficiency.

qdriver.bsky.social•9 days ago

I'd like to see it line by line, especially the parts where Trump and his evil friends line their pockets via these contracts. You Senators work together in committees, eh?, practicing a bit more seriously than the MAGA clowns permit in the House? I think your staffers should investigate the fraud.

oestreichs.bsky.social•9 days ago

I don't know. You are a senator, maybe you could look into this for us and let us know what you can do about it?

jaywilliams.pro•9 days ago

the fact that you continue to allow this farce to go on proves you're in on it

or you're a moron

or fucking traitor

which is it senator?

Who are you complaining to?
Us?
We know!
That’s why we elected you.
You have your platform because we did our job. Now go do yours.
Lead your rebellion or get out of the way. I’ve no more time for your complaining.

anarchist-cop.bsky.social•9 days ago

Since taking office this time, Trump has fired Inspectors Generals and FBI officials, released convicted insurgents into our communities, put Federal Attorneys on Leave Without Pay, publicly arrested a judge, and is currently in open defiance of the Supreme Court.

Democrats are “Showing Concern.”

Is that already in the budget? I mean, the president doesn’t get to allocate money in his own. That’s your job.

Congress is back from recess after the weekend. Will anyone file articles of impeachment for expelling a U.S. citizen who is 4 years old and also has cancer.

jmdeiris.bsky.social•8 days ago

There is not enough melatonin or magnesium in the world to help with sleep if you actually think about nuclear weapons and Hegseth and tRump at the same time.

valeriefederici.bsky.social•9 days ago

Now what about his parade he wants?
