Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Just so you understand. They are coming for Social Security, Medicaid. These are taxes collected in your payroll system. They make up trillions of dollars. They are used for our government spending. Treasonous traitor republicans already have their hand on a plan to take it.

Another massive scoop from @marisakabas.bsky.social on how Musk’s DOGE squad now has a middle-manager with a questionable background (to be charitable) who was about to be put on administrative leave this time last week - in charge of social security administration.

Hey MAGA...Did you vote for cuts to farmers? Head start? Universal pre-k? Meals on Wheels? SNAP? School lunch? Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security? For massive layoffs? To have your personal data accessed? Did you vote to turn US into Russia? Or have billionaires in charge?

How much federal data has Trump really purged?: Since Trump took office, almost 3,400 datasets from Data.gov have been removed.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

This is also how autocrats stay in power. They loot the state and use public resources to redistribute to voters. Trump knows the "Trump Checks" from 2020 made him popular. So its not unrealistic to expect him to do it again, but without the permission of Congress to do so.

I'm going to hammer this home all day. They know what they're doing is unpopular and they're going to try to head it off by sending cash to people that 1) Congress didn't approve and 2) that Congress actually approved to be used for something else.

I'm curious if this "economist" has considered what happens to banks when 200k people suddenly can't pay their mortgage? What about the millions of jobs those 200k were supporting by administering federal programs?

Lots of people think it's pointless to call out GOPers on capitulation to Trump. Here's why it's not. You need to make this claimed helplessness visible. You need to make it clear Jerry Moran has PLENTY of tools to rein in Musk, but has chosen not to use them. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
