“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

If you really wanted to reduce the deficit, you would hire IRS agents, not fire them. If you really wanted to cut the debt, you wouldn't ask permission to add $4 trillion to it. If you really wanted to find government fraud, you'd bring accountants, not teenage coders.

1000% agree. The local community is where the elevation of this issue is needed most.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

As we will start to see not all budget cuts save money. Properly funding public schools to include the needs in-house would avoid this mess altogether.

👀 “I understand my duty as a prosecutor to mean enforcing the law impartially, and that includes prosecuting a validly returned indictment regardless whether its dismissal would be politically advantageous, to the defendant or to those who appointed me.” - Former Acting USA, SDNY Danielle Sassoon.

Not a top reason why it's all collapsing, but the MPA (an advanced degree in governance) not being treated as prestigiously as the MBA, MD or JD has created one more exploitable gap for the right to destroy government. We only value profit-driven education. Public service is always an afterthought.

Eighty-three (83) $0 actions on Monday 2/10 for the Department of Ed. One (1) $38M action for Elon. The very definition of a banana republic.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Some bozo on Twitter named "Insurrectionist Barbie" said that "most of our major cities look like Third World countries." This is what our three largest cities look like vs. an actual third-world country.

When one picks blind authority so often at home, at school, at work, that’s the muscle built. The alternative was/ may be again persisting for our and our neighbors maximum autonomy - the max is the line before your autonomy does actual harm to your neighbor. The word to use is WHY.
