I've yet to see one shred of evidence of this "waste, fraud, and abuse" they keep talking about. Given that they're well documented liars, knowing a bit about our government before them, seeing no charges against anybody, I DON'T BELIEVE THEM.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

I don’t think that enough people realize that the shitshow we saw today was a full and complete capitulation by the United States. The west lost the Cold War in front of our eyes.

The media has to STOP giving trump credit for "taking questions" if he's not answering any of them truthfully. Anyone can take a billion questions and answer them in the bullshit lying way he does with ZERO pushback.

The Elon Musk playbook: 1) kill govt agencies investigating him 2) remove govt officials who could stop him 3) kill govt contracts belonging to rival companies 4) give all the govt contracts to his own companies

Predicting the path of tornados, the landfall of hurricanes, or whether it's going to rain next Monday might seem like magic. But it's not. It's the hard work of the people at NOAA who make the impossible possible through science. This is dangerous.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

Fun fact: An actual “doge” was an oligarchic ruler of medieval Venice — appointed FOR LIFE by a cabal of insiders, totally unaccountable to the people or anyone but a tiny group of fellow super-wealthy elites.

If there's waste, fraud, and abuse, it's because Republicans in oversight spent all their time on plots with fake witnesses against Biden.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
