Wow, its almost as if these federal employees are all real people with real jobs and friends and family that care. They aren't the boogeymen that certain people want you to think they are. They make sure your food is safe, your flight is safe, that you get your passport, and research disease cures.

This sounds like somebody plans to fill their pockets with gold and then claim there wasn't anything there when he showed up. This seems like something the Wet Bandits would say in "Home Alone 14: Alone in Fort Knox".

Nothing says the airline industry is doing great under the new President like the fact we've gotten down the synonym list to "clamber" for ways that people have exited flights in the last four weeks. And I say that as a fan of the word clamber.

This is insane. Most experts agree that our air traffic system is already stretched thin - this move by Trump & Musk will make Americans less safe. Are any Republicans in Congress going to stand up and do something? What about the Secretary of Transportation? #TrumpShitShow

Strap in folks, professionals in air travel are getting fired and SpaceX, best known for their rapid unscheduled disassembly program, will probably get a big contract out of it.

I, for one, look forward to our mandatory bleach injections, equine treatments, and all the tuberculosis and bird flu you can handle.

Presidents have wanted to eliminate the penny for years now... But eliminating the penny requires an Act of Congress (RIP Jim Kolbe) not a unilateral action by the executive. www.vice.com/en/article/o...

This is money that was promised to these institutions - but I'm sure it's fine, we don't need to research cures for diseases and cancer. America already has the lowest life expectancy in the developed world, nobody will notice if it drops another 3-5 years.

Obviously this sucks for the whole country but I can’t help thinking about how much it sucks for DC. Destroying federal jobs, targeting the Kennedy Center, filling the city with racists. He’ll probably do an EO stating that at Eastern Motors your job is no longer your credit

This is usually a job that goes to a historian, someone trained in the field. But I'm sure letting the Secretary of State, who is also the Acting Director of USAID, also run the Archives will be fine. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Pilot: Approaching Dulles. On schedule for 8:30 arrival. ChatGPTCoPilot: Diverting to Georgetown Airport. Pilot: Georgetown has an airport? ChatGPTCoPilot: Georgetown has an airport founded in 1973 by Greta Thunberg. Pilot: That doesn’t sound right. Did you just make that up? /1

These questions need answers... "Wyden said that he and his staff are currently trying to establish whether DOGE is planning to load this coded data into outside servers to employ artificial intelligence on it, as reports have hinted is broadly being considered." newrepublic.com/article/1911...

At this point, are we even sure Vice President is 3rd in command of the executive branch? I feel like it might be 5th or even 8th.

Getting rid of NOAA is only a problem if you fly, or live somewhere with floods, or tornadoes, or hurricanes, or damaging hail, or ice storms, or any damaging weather. Every weather update from the National Weather Service - that's NOAA. This will impact daily life from coast to coast.

Tortured acronyms in bill names has been around forever but this is one I can get behind. Unfortunately, he's so egotistical, he'll probably see it as "all press is good press".

To those of you with Senators & Reps, remember 680,000 Americans living in DC continue to not have representation. Not to mention the millions spread across Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S.V.I, and Am. Samoa. Instead of making statehood demands on Canada, let's make DC a state.

Elon Musk bought the United States of America—the most powerful nation in the world—for $200M. For scale, Steve Ballmer bought the LA Clippers for $2B. The fucking Clippers.

"Judge we promise we won't do that anymore, see we sent a recission letter! "I would like to refer to the Press Secretary's twitter feed that shows they have no intention of doing what they say." The first not terrible use of Twitter in a year and change?
