As Elon Musk guts entire government agencies and fires thousands of federal workers that deliver vital services to the country, remember that his corporations have received at least $38 billion in government contracts over the past 20 years. Yet will any of this be touched by DOGE? Of course not.

Interesting and chilling that Trump’s post "He who saves his country, violates no law," was used by far right Norwegian murderer Anders Breivik ( who in 2011 killed 77 mostly kids & wounded 319 ) Breivik cited that purported Napoleon quote, to justify his attacks.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

There is nothing inherently wrong with America. Our system functions when its people show up to vote. If bad actors present themselves, voters have the power to reject them. We we're not going to fix this with 40% of eligible voters staying at home during elections.

Trump’s team claimed that their tax cuts would boost household income by $4,000. But research shows that the lowest paid workers saw no change in earnings. Meanwhile, exec salaries increased sharply. Trump and Republicans want to double down on yet another trickle-down scam.
