What are the hundreds of thousands of people that are getting fired going to do next? I mean, Musk has a plan, right? It's handled, right? You don't just fire that many people with no plan. Right? /cynicism

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.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

How predictable that he hasn't suggested Puerto Rico become the 51st state, something they have applied for in the past.

Take a breath. Just one. Know you're taking the one breath. Some days, that's all I can do -- and it's enough.
