I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

NEW statement from our @jeffhauser.bsky.social calling for the impeachment of Scott Bessent: "Bessent's decision to hand the unelected Musk and his covert, unaccountable DOGE wrecking crew the keys to the federal money spigot is a blatant attack on democracy that will harm working people."

I don't know why being a criminal is normalized these days. It's clear that the line between right & wrong is being blurred, and it’s up to us to demand accountability. Because, silence only fuels their evil agenda. I wonder how much more of this shit can we let slip by, before it’s too late?🤔
