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...

“When you live in a world crumbling under your feet, the only thing that helps you survive is to believe in guidelines, in civilized democratic countries that uphold values. When countries like the United States cease to be pillars, there is nothing to hope for.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/w...

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

Sloppy editing that should not have happened when processing a video for a president elect, sure; nefarious intent, no.

If you have 5 minutes to spare and some thoughts about the allegations that 60 Minutes engaged in impermissible news distortion, FYI the FCC has invited public comment on these allegations. More details and info on how to comment below:

A serious proposal: If the Trump administration is going to neglect and eliminate entire US Government functions, Democrats should select a full shadow cabinet to fill the void. Send an alt SecState to the G20, have an alt CDC Director let us know what’s really going on with Bird Flu and TB, etc.

What @kairyssdal.bsky.social is saying is that BLS produces the official economic statistics that we all rely on and if they start messing with those, no one will no what is really happening -- and whoever is manipulating them can make a killing by knowing the numbers in advance

If this happens - and if Musk et al get control of BLS - then all economic bets are off. I can’t say it any more plainly than that.

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless. They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.

Democrats, this weekend is D-Day. You must go out tomorrow, take up as much space in media as possible, get in front of cameras, shout at the top of your lungs. None of this "egg prices!" stuff either. The narrative has to be "Trump and Musk are seizing the government and pursuing retribution."

Everyone seems to be framing Trump's freeze on federal grants as a Constitutional fight over powers of the purse & whether presidents can disregard Congressional appropriations. It is that. But also at stake is the fundamental validity of government contracts! I see much less discussion on this... 🧵
