Yesterday, Trump said: "Medicare, Medicaid — none of that stuff is going to be touched." But this morning he backed the House GOP budget resolution, which includes at least $880 billion in draconian #Medicaid cuts. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Cutting NASA's workforce by about 10 percent. That's a boost to the Chinese and Russians. And the guy in charge of SpaceX made this decision? That's a total conflict of interest. Moreover, firing all probationary employees shows they're not serious about evaluating programs. It's a machine gun.

Percent chance that one of the things Musk is doing is building and AI chatbot trained on data from all these government systems that trump will then use in decision making?

Anyone else thinking these plane crashes are actually a play to destroy faith in airline travel and control/restrict the movement of the general public?

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

Trump never fit into New York Society, so New York became his enemy. Then Trump was rejected by America in 2020. Trump doesn’t want revenge against his political opponents. He wants revenge against America. This is the only way to clearly understand Trump’s actions to destabilize America.

Joann fabric is closing tons of stores. From what I can tell they're closing all but 1 store in my state. Most of their fabric is made in China, along with probably not of their other merchandise. Trump imposed increased tariffs on goods coming from China. Do we thing these things are related?

Musk’s supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he’s slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: The Economist’s review of official data shows that his efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.
