Seems to me like this is a much bigger problem than whatever “problem” is being solved by firing a bunch of middle class civil servants who did nothing wrong.

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.

It has taken only ONE MONTH for the US to go from being top of the world in everything from manufacturing to economy, to complete & total joke that everyone is turning against, with unemployment & inflation climbing. That has to be a record. And TWO MEN are responsible.

An unelected broligarch and his merry band of unripened incels have hacked our bank accounts, Bird flu is raging, TB is is spreading, planes are falling out of the sky, Trump’s planning Gaz-a-Largo and eggs are more expensive than ever, but at least we’re getting plastic straws back.

The unelected illegal immigrant President Musk’s approval rating has gone from 47% to 29% in 3 months. I’d prefer 0% with an added deportation and arrest.

Good Morning BlueSky Fam👋🏽 Happy Black History Month Have a wonderful day 🦋

How did all those protest votes against Harris - who was not even president - work out?

Another entry in the chronicle of “this is why liberals call you racist” WTF

Reports of ICE harassing even indigenous people are an extra layer of disturbing that I didn't forsee. But here's what should happen! Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons
