Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

BLUF: Department of Defense Employees hate this administration. My spouse is in a book club with a lot of these folks. They are disgusted. You'd assume DoD is rife with GOP leaning folks and you'd be right. Not universally by any means, but well represented. They see the disrespect and r angry!

I'm not so sure I can do this at this point in the game, but I'm willing to try.

Looking like a dork aside, hurting grandma, the economy, and the military without much thought is definitely peak MAGA.

I can't think of a better way of pissing off Trump than for #Canada to go ahead with building the proposed Alto high-speed rail project. A multi-billion high-tech megaproject, that would deliver faster trains than the US has, using Canadian steel + aluminum. Might even kick off a new space race

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

2022: FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a report that said there were an estimated 1,000 plus Russian spies in the U.S. Millions of us have unknowingly interacted with one or more of them. Some have worked in the same factory or office building with them...and some...are married to one of them.

3%! Compensation for federal employees comprised about 3% of the 2024 fiscal year federal budget, according to government data. Also re "probationary federal employee" - that just means less than 2 years since being hired. Not detrimental, just potentially unproven. www.npr.org/2025/02/15/n...

Trump is blaming Ukraine for starting the war. The White House claims Musk isn’t running DOGE—& Trump has no clue what it’s doing. Homan is after AOC and Trump works to bail out Mayor Adams. Uncovered with Ron Filipkowski and Anthony Davis is live.

Just remembering how when planes would crash in Iran or Russia we used to say "This is what happens in autocracies, because they give important jobs to the leader's cronies instead of competent people."

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

submitted 4 days ago • 1335 comments

BINGO. "POTUS" apparently didn't know DOGE is at FAA and Dod? "POTUS" apparently doesn't recognize that Musk has a clear conflict of interest there? Either "POTUS" is NOT in charge, and is oblivious, and Musk IS in charge of DOGE, ... or "POTUS" approves all of this. Courts save us!

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

"All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget." BINGO And of the people the federal government pays - the majority ARE CONTRACTORS. Contractors get paid MORE, because they're "hired guns" without job security, working specific contracts. CANCEL THE iffy CONTRACTS, save the big money.
