It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

You cannot make this up. DOGE's crusade isn't about government efficiency. It's about making Elon Musk richer at your expense.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

🚨FYSA: The CFPB is being shut down—a direct hit to Veterans and Military families. It protected those who've served from predatory lenders and shady fees, returning billions to those wronged. Now, that’s over. Republicans say they support the Troops—it'd be nice if they showed it.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The person keeping you from dying from Listeria is a federal employee. The person making sure your plane doesn’t fall out of the sky is a federal employee. The person busting up drug rings is a federal employee. The person prosecuting terrorists is a federal employee.

DEI is having a convicted felon, insurrectionist & adjudicated rapist as POTUS. DEI is having a sexual abuser & drunk as defense secretary. DEI is nominating a weird anti vaxxer as head of HHS. DEI is stacking your cabinet with wholly unqualified white people! MAGA is the epitome of DEI 🤡
