New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud "With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

This is on the OFFICIAL White House account. If this isn't your wake-up call I don't know what else to tell y'all. If you support this man in earnest and sincerity, you are no friend to me. And just to add insult to injury, they are using an GenAI image.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Government funding expires March 14 and there's a chance they'll need Democratic votes to prevent a shutdown so that could be a good time to demand that Musk and his teens are out of government and an impartial investigation into what they've done thus far

@sanders.senate.gov: "What I would say to Trump supporters... Focus not on what Trump says but what he does. And what he's gonna do is cut programs that you and your families need. Do you really think it's appropriate to cut Medicaid substantially?"

@sanders.senate.gov: "You're looking at enormous power & wealth in the hands of a small number of people who could care less about working class people... They suffer from the addiction of greed. You got $50 billion? Ain't enough. We got to cut SS so I can get a tax break and maybe get $55 billion."

liberal capitlism can both be considered a “failure” (the system isn’t achieving its stated aims) and also “doing what it was designed to do” (the system is doing what it’s aims were to do) because its stated aims were always contradictory.

Jon Stewart asks why Democratic leaders think they need better messaging rather than better policies. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries replies their solution is "making the American people feel that we understand the pain that they've been in" — the exact thing Stewart was criticizing!

Government is not a business, and should not be run like a business. Most businesses fail in their first year anyways. Govts serve the populace, which isn't what businesses do, because business wants profits. The govt doesn't need profits, it needs healthy people and social stability.

His illiquidity is the danger. He has to keep doing shit like this. The Not Actually Real Money Bus must be kept above $200 billion or it will explode. All of this shit is basically debt and blackmail and it's forcing people like Musk into increasingly precarious and dangerous positions.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

"That is why Elon’s commission looks, sounds, and smells like a sham. Because thus far, the biggest beneficiaries aren’t working class Americans, but rather Elon Musk himself. You don’t get credit for rooting out abuse if your execution raises more questions than it answers."

Re the ridiculous viral MAGA ‘USAID is funding Politico’ story: 1) a reminder of the power of the disinformation complex, enabled by Musk 2) a reminder to ‘neutral’ outlets like Politico that no matter how much ‘both sides’ journalism and knee-bending they offer, MAGA will always hate/attack them.
