So they average $400,000 a year per person. That is a ridiculous amount considering that the President makes that amount. So DOGE employees are at the same level as the President of the United States.

For those who are asking what to do - share your stories. Put a human face to their reckless, lawless chaos. Elon and Donald may not care about hardworking Americans, but most of America does.

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

Larry Keefe, aka "Clarice Starling," is a former US Attorney who acts more like a cocaine trafficker with his communication style than a public servant. He'll do well in his new role with the DeSantis administration where violating Floridian's civil rights is a regular occurrence.

What Trump is doing in “negotiating” with Russia, while capitulating in advance to Putin & excluding Ukraine & Europe, is a violation of international & American law. He has no authority to condone or reward Putin’s violent annexation or to breach US treaties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/w...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

“Staffing decisions should be based on an individual agency’s mission-critical needs. To do otherwise is dangerous when it comes to public safety. And it is especially unconscionable in the aftermath of three deadly aircraft accidents in the past month.”

Musk is trying to make people believe bureaucracy interferes w/ democracy. Not necessarily true. He & Trump are making an end run around checks & balances, rule of law & our Constitution. Also, he is an unelected official which makes HIM a bureaucrat who, btw, is making decisions that benefit HIM.
