NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

By not electing Hillary in 2016 we got tax cuts that exploded the deficit and a botched handling of a pandemic. 2024 TBD, but so far choosing a felon over another qualified woman is not going well.

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

Elon Musk has ZERO receipts for his claims of “fraud” in government agencies. But there seem to be a LOT of receipts showing that those same government agencies were investigating or regulating Musk and his companies.

All that money for Trump to go to the Super Bowl would have saved a lot of children from dying of cancer.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

USAID was founded by JFK to fight the Kremlin -- by helping countries all over the world, rather than having them fall under Soviet dominance. The Kremlin has wanted to kill USAID ever since. Don't fall for anti-USAID propaganda -- it all comes from PUTIN.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
