DOGE claims it "saved US $50B" Not sure if that's a one time or annual savings It's roughly $2.75 a week per American Not even enough for a small Starbucks latte 🤦🏻‍♂️ In the meantime, National Parks & museums have closed; VA & FAA employees have been fired; and people are dying overseas

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

Trump is now blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. This is what you get when a rapist occupies the White House.

Trump: You better call it the Gulf of America now! AP: Fuck you. Google: No problem, mein führer! Axios: we've already forgotten what it was originally called.

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

Kinda weird that SecDef is announcing to the world that he has tax problems. Totally normal to blame Biden for your failure to pay taxes

Anyone want to explain to me how it makes any sense that the US and Russia are trying to negotiate the end to the war in Ukraine without any sort of Ukrainian delegation?

They're using fear to bully you into compliance. Fear of losing your job, your savings, your Medicare/medicaid, your rights, your freedom. They're using fear to bully our allies, to break our alliances and promises. What do they have to fear? Nothing so far. That needs to change.

@karaswisher.bsky.social Why do I have to hear Orin Cass attack other guests and offer no ideas? Did CNN put something in your beverage fridge?!? There have to be other MAGAS who can proffer and argument and not just "blame Obama". I mean, come on.

Do you know where our nukes are and how to keep them safe? If so, the federal government will probably hire you. They accidentally fired the last people with that job and can’t seem to find them to hire them back. We wish we were joking.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.
