@donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social on if somebody doesn't fill answer DOGE inquiry that he 'guesses' they'll be fired.. Thus trading any semblance of authority for plausible deniability. Ukraine shouldn't give up squat.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the latest federal agency to be hit with DOGE layoffs. That's the same agency that has investigated crashes involving Tesla's self-driving cars. This was never about "efficiency."

Late last night, the GOP prevented the House from voting on two of my amendments to their Budget Scheme: 1️⃣ Prevent cuts ➡️ programs feeding families & school children 2️⃣ Protect Medicaid ➡️provides health coverage to 72 million Americans. What a betrayal of working people for billionaires.

What would we think/do if the President of our bank announced they have hired a security firm -which also does cleaning, but won't tell you the name of the security firm. Next day a 17 year old who "says" he's with the firm & supposed to mop the floors in the vault.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
