In my dream world where we had a functioning White House Press Corp, Trump would be asked why we're no longer protecting all Americans by tracking abusive cops. No one benefits from this except corrupt police. I want him to explain why this is good. How much do you want to bet that no one asks?

I think the correct approach to Senator Collins is to deny her own bills as much as possible until she begins to take action against the Trump-Musk Junta screwing Maine. She voted for all these new yes-men so get back to us when you actually vote with a spine, Susan.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Seems like waste & fraud is rampant in DOGE. 8B$ in savings turns out to be 8M$, teenagers running amok in the USG seems to be costing millions per day in "expenses" & they're firing people that have already "resigned" through their magic Fork & are paid through Sept anyway. wapo.st/41kUspM

Donald Trump is a traitor. He’s a traitor to our country. When I first said that publicly a few years ago, it was pretty jarring. It isn’t jarring anymore. Not at all.

Yep. John Roberts is the result you get when you cross Opus Dei Catholic bullshit with prep school smugness. The rest of us, I'm afraid, only get Elmo and his little brownshirts.

I know this sounds so nerdy, but I can’t stress enough how carefully protected this information is, think gold standard of data protection. If an employee so much as just confirms someone did their taxes they face fines and jail time. Now the richest man is raiding it for God knows what reasons.

I don’t know why it took me so long to see this, but he’s in gamer mode. He and his DOGE crew are on a World of Warcraft raid, slashing and burning as much of the federal government as he can manage, laughing and trolling the whole time. He’s incapable of empathetically understanding the harm.

The guy who plans to massively ramp up defense spending by American taxpayers surrenders in advance to Putin on Ukraine. Brilliant negotiating strategy. MAGA's macho man image is about as real as the gangsta look of some second rate rapper from a rich suburb. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/w...

What DOGE is doing doesn’t meaningfully reduce govt spending and it in no way improves efficiency. What it does is weaken America and strengthen our enemies. It is time to focus on why that is the goal of Musk and Trump. Why is damaging the US their primary goal?

If you read Lucky Loser or lived in NYC you know exactly what kind of amoral grifter Donald Trump is. Musk, an immigrant from a Nazi family in South Africa who overstayed his student visa, is lesser known but just as narcissistic and malignant. Rule of Law? Constitutional Democracy? We shall see
