DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

I hear the nagging question you ask inside your head a few hundred times a day: "Is it me, or has a huge portion of this country lost its mind?" It isn't you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...

This is your daily reminder that it's a coup.

It was never about meritocracy

“No American can be proud of a govt that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

The world in 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Germans oppose neo-fascism. The top aide to the president of the United States supports it. apnews.com/article/germ...

As a prosecutor, we investigated cases where bad actors left themselves a back door in govt systems. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse suggests Musk’s team could “manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u...

Take the time to read this important analysis. We are in exactly the situation that laws, Constitutin and basic common sense should prevent. And yet. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/05/t...

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

It's not going to get better anytime soon, but don't be so hard on yourself.

www.citizen.org/news/advocac... now we are talking!

Sen. Tina Smith: Millions of federal workers got a memo—“Resign by Feb 6, and we’ll pay your salary through Sept.” That’s almost certainly illegal. A VA worker told me, “I’ve devoted my life to veterans. If I take this, will I get paid? If I don’t, will they see me as an enemy?”

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system. Treasury stays silent. White House stays silent. Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

"I want to speak directly to Americans," says Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "This is a choice that will harm Canadians...but will have real consequences for you."

Where we are right now, we have never been. Where we are going, no sane citizen of this country ever wanted to go. This is a profoundly dangerous and destructive moment for which we are unprepared. The worst fears and predictions about what Trump 2.0 would be like are coming true and being exceeded.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or scream... or all of the above.

Ventura County strawberry workers are harvesting in heavy smoke from the Hughes Fire. We remind workers their employers have to provide them with respirator masks if the AQI exceeds 150. Stay safe! #WeFeedYou

And the rest of the world says;

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

A good man. A good President

A great American is being honored on January 20th.

Raskin: "It seems we live in a time when it's very easy to forgive sexual abusers, assailants, rapists, and sexual harassers who have a lot of power and wealthy in society, but very hard to forgive their victims for fighting back. Look what's going on across the hallway ... "
