Clinical trials for the most serious diseases halted. Research grants ended. 1,500 NIH workers fired. All probationary employees fired- these were the brightest, fully trained & vetted, most talented next generation of public servants - fired. This is not ending “waste, fraud or abuse”’

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

More subtle outcomes of litigation. Courts have not just blocked DOGE and other actions, but also forced Gov to produce answers and commitments. Friday night's Treasury decision requires: Gov certifying what is the security clearance process for DOGE team; revealing authorizations for DOGE; more⬇️

Tom Krause is in charge of both a sensitive government payment system and a company that has millions of dollars’ worth of active contracts with various federal agencies through distribution partners, a WIRED review finds. Conflicts posed by this are unprecedented in the modern era, experts say.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

So we spent a ton of money to move 170+ Venezuelans from inside the United States to #GTMO, where we spent a ton of money to hold them for less than a month, before we spent a ton of money to bring one of them back stateside and repatriate the rest. Talk about wasteful government spending…

Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic “male” XY & “female” XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many 🧬genes. 👉All I’m asking is— please be kind to others. Thanks🙏

This is the reason I think @murray.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov should ask GAO to investigate the fraudulent claims on DOGE's receipts page. Because it's serving as cover that DOGE is not seeking waste fraud and abuse but instead canceling programs Congress duly appropriated.

It costs far more to hold people at Gitmo than to hold them in the US, even ignoring the flight. It's just theater to rationalize making this war and diverting all our NatSec resources chasing non-criminal brown people.

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.
