I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Russ Vought set up a CFPB snitch line where you can report any work by the agency still trying to do its job as legally mandated by Congress. It would be a real shame if this was flooded with false tips and wild goose chases... x.com/CFPB_tipline

Senator Cassidy, you voted for yourself to put a dangerous man into HHS. You put your Senate job ahead of the Americans you represent. If you have been threatened with violence, say so.

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Well. Great. I do have a current, valid passport, but this feels like a whole lot of disenfranchisement of women to me. Passports are expensive to obtain. Poll tax, maybe?

Since ART had apparently decided to be helpful and stop sulking like a giant angry baby, I said, “Why do you want me to pretend to be an augmented human? This way is easier.” You don’t like it, ART said.

Demand that Biden unwrap the classified intelligence on the kompromat relationship between Trump and Putin. Even if we cannot force the Congress to impeach Trump before he takes office, we must know what we are up against. Read, share, fight back. #DeclassifyTrump www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...
