A genuine question. Would it have been better for Democrats to be revealing this as part of their oversight job, while undermining the idea that waste and abuse are present at scale, or is it better to have the media expose this assuming it may be received as non-partisan?

“The Verge‘s source also said that the GSA will offload the EVs it bought during the Biden administration, although it’s unknown whether they’ll be sold or stored.” Another example of gov waste, buy cars, sell at a loss or store. DOGE wasting more than saving. Is someone building a calculator?

Trump Inc… Remember, it is always projection setting up what Trump wants to do. Simply look at who he attacks and assume his goal is to engage in the practice he is accusing others of.

Honestly, I don’t care if this is true or fake. Unless you are going to tell me they also cultivated the entire Republican Senate, SCOTUS, Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh, Joe Rogan, Silicon Valley Tech Bros, and media enablers like Joe and Mika and Maggie Haberman who served their purpose.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

We wanted to know what the average Black person thinks of Donald Trump. So we asked the communications director of the Houston Young Republicans, who grew up in a mixed race family in a majority white Long Island suburb.

Universal health care(or public option), decreased defense spending, higher FICA tax Pros and Cons for 1&2 (no real downside for 3) Easiest ways to address major debt I have not heard a single media outlet (whether presumed left or right) or Democrats mention any of these in savings discussion.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

I wonder what would happen if @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov asked GAO to investigate whether DOGE's "receipts" claiming savings amounts to fraud. Honestly, it's the only fraud found so far. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

I don’t understand why it is so hard for ppl to see that Trump is using language similar to what Putin used as pretext to invade Ukraine (security/rogues) when he discusses Canada and Mexico. I hope America isn’t stupid enough to fall in line, but Twitter/Fox/TikTok are strong propaganda machines.

Every company could have left when he started promoting Nazis (as could users). Seems like an opportunity to reassess ad strategy to me. Appeasement won’t help.

Citigroup’s CEO is a woman. It would be hilarious if the only interviewed woman and minorities going forward. “You said we didn’t have to interview everyone”. (They would never do it, but hopefully someone is smart enough to do it).
