Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

PSA: Words matter They aren’t “layoffs” It’s not about “efficiency”

Trump plans to withdraw troops from the Baltics and parts of Western Europe - a key Putin demand - making former Soviet nations a prime target for Russian attacks, the FT reports.

The disbelief, anger, hurt, fear being shared by so many federal employees being laid off is painful to watch unfold, one person -- each with their own story -- at a time. A tiny sampling from group chats + messages I've gotten from some:

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

We were “warmongers” for wanting to help our ally fend off a Russian barbarian horde seeking to murder and enslave them, but Trump their peacemaker wants to occupy Gaza and “take long-term ownership” of it for the US.

SCOOP: We have full details of changes Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer, is asking government coders to help the administration with. This includes using login.gov as a fraud surveillance system against Americans, which employees told him is an "illegal task" www.404media.co/things-are-g...

OPINION | Snap out of it America. All the warning lights are flashing, writes @djrothkopf.bsky.social.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.
