Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

Trump wants to shut the Education Department. Is it sleight-of-hand? Shifting responsibilities from one department to another does nothing to cut costs.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

www.facebook.com/share/r/1DHA... They would not even allow a motion to subpoena Musk to testify as to what the hell he is doing. Rethuglikkkans, especially COMER, are despicable!

So the Convicted Felon met with the Indicted Leader of Israel and conspired to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its inhabitants to create a real estate boom to enrich The Felon and his family while solving the Indicted One’s pesky problem. Got it.

So Trump wants American ownership of Gaza. Forced relocations which very well use US troops. He then envisions a “Riviera for world people.” Guess he and Jared will cash in on the building boom.

Did you vote for this??? Destructive trade war? Elon and his gang of teenagers accessing all of the Treasury? Alienating our allies? Eliminating all oversight? Silencing FDA? Making prescription drugs more expensive? Installing totally unqualified Cabinet officials?

Trump says other countries have “ripped us off” with trade deficits. I don’t understand this. Seems to me that American consumers just want more goods from other countries. I like Scotch for example. How is this ripping us off?
