This isn’t even going to save the US money in the long run, despite the human wreckage of it all. Why? Because Trump will offset the savings by giving enormous tax breaks to his billionaire donors. When will Trump voters wake up? And will it be too late?

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Trump has unjustifiably ousted the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a role designed to be insulated from politics, along with other senior military officials. U.S. service members take an oath to the Constitution, not to any president.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.
