“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Non-elected President, Senator and Representative, His Majesty Elon Musk sent an email to all fed employees asking them to respond with what they did last week, stating failure to reply by a deadline will be taken as a resignation. Here is a statement from the AFGE President in response.

Not a great time for citizens who have chosen to serve their country by working in government, when the current leaders have nothing but contempt for your very existence. I have an idea, run for office against a Republican who is enabling it - which is all of them.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

"In his first term, Trump failed to build a wall. He failed to marshal the resources from Congress, failed to gain a consensus of American opinion and failed at everything administrations do in a democracy to advance policy."

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed. This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

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.

We're where we are today bc people's hate for others was stronger than their desire to look out for their own self interest. No, not just MAGA, low information voters, too. We will only make it out of this dystopia if we stop judging and start listening. Empathy & compassion are the only ways back.
