Where are the pillars of our Democracy that sustain its existence? Where is the Congress? I see these little guys, Federal Employees, fighting back with the truth. Visit their website for more details. www.wethebuilders.org

There doing a lot more than clip the wings. They’re making the American eagle sick. Let’s hope the eagle can survive over the next 4 years or untill an impeachment.

What you’re witnessing is an incompetent Executive Branch. They will not hesitate to censor the flow of truthful information to cover-up their inability to be effective. This is understandable because they are unqualified top leadership approved by Congress in key positions with little experience.

Without authority, planning and competency, Elon Musk is taking a wrecking ball to our Democracy by dismantling agencies by leadership removal, disrupting performance & mission and creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion by firing federal employees without cause, analysis and specificitivity.

Ridiculous -and he is dick.

DOGE continues to spew disinformation & propaganda to confuse the public, demonize & manipulate the truth. DOGE is unreputable and untrustworthy. All performance data they release must first be considered erroneous & fabrications to justify their actions, since they lack evidence & make-up stuff.

Top political Executive Branch leaders must be approved by Congress, rational, transparently achieve publically announced objectives, improve the government infrastructure to be efficient and effective, instead of breaking it and implement plans based facts that take in account all stakeholders.

Disturbing. Is this a conspiracy theory or what? What’s your opinion?

Why are Republicans going along with Trump? Death threats are an effective motivator!

It’s a breath of fresh air to hear a Republican from the House of Representatives say the “Truth”. Republicans either remain silent, go along with the disinformation or actual become complicit by repeating the disinformation with their own little spin. It like they’re members of a cult

Using a scapegoat is a very effective tactic to get people to jump on the goose-stepping hate focus bandwagon. It’s their fault!

We have gone back to the 12th century, were you can get arrested for saying the earth revolves around the sun.

I remember when my Mother died. After my Father received the Death Certificate, all the bank accounts in both names were frozen and the social security stopped. He also received a letter later from Social Security demanding the last SS check sent to my Mother because she died in the previous month.

When the Trump Administration fired the nuclear stockpile federal employees and tried to get them all back that may be excused as poor planning or unqualified personnel doing the job incorrectly and they learned from that. When they did it again that’s incompetence and failing to learn from mistakes

Is this the best interest of the country?

Excellent Summary by John Oliver

The ones that let this happen., were they afraid or getting something in return or got in so deep they were blakmailed?

Worst scenario is Canada, Mexico & EU are foes, befriends Russia, tariff wars, global depression, war declared, full dismantles US government & eliminate Trump opposition. Result is a weak economy, confused public, controls 3 gov branches, calls martial law & Trump declares himself as a dictator.

This is another example of Trump action without understanding the problem and performing without plan. When you’re creating a solution to resolve a problem, you analyze the outcome both good and the bad. But when you act without thinking, you’re like a bull in a china closet.

Ridiculous and petty. There are so many important and pressing problems and Trump spends his time and energy on trivial insignificant nonsense, he created. What a waste of tax payer dollars!

Is this Russian propaganda?

Why isn’t the US Attorney General calling for a full investigation? The answer is she willing to go along with the corruption or is she trying to ignore it.

Is Trump starting events that will cause more damage to the US economy than he ever considered? Is he learning anything about is inability to understand a complex problems with multi-interactive variables?

Here’s republican, putting country above party, damaging her career, and defying Trump and doing what’s right. Our Democracy is in the hands of people like her regardless of party affiliation. People who will not go along with corruption.

Is this regret for voting for Hehseth, a person who is obviously unqualified to perform the job and is of devious character? What did Wicker get in return for going along with the Trump cronies?

Trump administration is saying raising tariffs will only raise prices slightly or not at all. This is contrary to history and to rational thinking. Our government is run by incompetent individuals that lack moral character and who are “Yes-Man” for Trump and are willing go along with corruption.

The Dark Ages have final come to the FBI, where reason and the pursuit of the law will be thrown away in favor of going on witch-hunts to exact vengeance and punishment - that will be the norm.

Egg prices continue to rise while Trump remains stagnant indicates he fails to understand the complexity of the problem. A bigger issue on the horizon is the possible bird flu pandemic. Trump has actually put in place the hindrance to finding a cure and inhibiting healthcare information flow.

The act of dismissing the charges is corruption.

RFK Jr’s purpose is to be a crony and fulfill the function of a “yes- man””, so Trump’s actions are uninhibited and ensure no adult rational objections are presented.

He lacks the job qualifications and has limited knowledge, expertise, skills and experience to understand the complex problem at hand and doesn’t have the ability to work collaboratively to develop a creative and innovative framework to arrive at a win-win solution that's the product of teamwork.

Brokering a peace deal by starting a negotiation without discussing or getting requirements from the primary stakeholder, Ukraine, and excluding them at the initial meeting where the rules of engagement are agreed to, basic objectives are stated and opening proposals are presented is incompetency.

Trump is speaking gibberish and doesn’t make sense technically and it doesn’t make sense practically. This is much worse than tumbling over a few words, This incoherent nonsense.

It’s becoming ridiculously easy to be fired by Trump. Especially, if Trump interprets that someone is exposing that his actions are ill-conceived or stupid or yield negative results or make him look dumb. Trump shoots from the hip without thinking and without asking for expert advice.

Elon Musk is good at making up stuff, for example, the USAID $50M of condoms to Gaza which was proven false that Trump double down as $100M. Then it quietly went away with no correction to the disinformation that was spewed on Fox News for justification to destroy USAID.

Getting new contracts while in a Conflict of Interest situation must be investigated. Is Musk doing stuff for free with benefits? It seems like impropriety, but there is no documented scope of effort and objectives to achieved. Hence, no way to measure success or the amount of costs he is generating

If this tariff mania by Trump continues without thinking, what is the worst that can happen? Aside from higher prices and inflation, the worst case scenario is a recession, and then a worldwide depression.

It’s difficult to ascertain true facts when the GOP intentional provides disinformation about USAID. The lie spread by GOP - USAID spent $50M on condoms, to Gaza & Trump doubled down say it ‘s $100M. No U.S. government funding was used to procure or distribute condoms, nor provide family-planning.

When ignorant politicians are myopic, don’t understand science, don’t want a better world and refuse to invest & support US research, the result is American Innovation stops. Our incompetent leadership is inhibiting creative minds to develop new intellectual substance and they go to other countries.

If Trump is able to get his way by reducing NSF’s budget to $3B, say goodbye to America’s innovation. NSF’s competence is at risk to encourage, mentor and select the best research proposal for grants. This action is ignorance & a failure to see the strategic big picture to keep our scientific lead
