“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.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Obviously far from the biggest indignity but every federal worker getting blasted a Saturday night “defend your paycheck” email from the world’s most annoying drug addict is such a pain in the ass

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

This is the line to get a new membership at the Costco closest to me (45 min away). Lotta folks like me who are just outside comfortable driving distance but are finally getting a membership because it pairs nicely w/ support for labor & calling your reps everyday.

Post WW1 Germany fell into Nazism because of hyperinflation and economic chaos, America fell into it because of record low unemployment and folks liking to “do their own research.”

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

White House says that Elon Musk is an employee. That makes him fall under the note he sent that all federal employees have to describe what they do and CC their boss. Including: Waving a machete at CPAC, fighting his newest kid's mom on X, firing nuke techs, trying to rehire them, doing ketamine...

"Science fiction lends itself readily to imaginative subversion of any status quo. Bureaucrats and politicians, who can't afford to cultivate their imaginations, tend to assume it's all ray-guns and nonsense, good for children." - Ursula K. Le Guin (2012) [Anthology idea: Ray-guns and Nonsense]

I read Mary Shelley's "The Last Man" last year, a novel set in 2073 about humanity getting wiped out by pandemics. (She wrote it in 1826.) It ends in 2100 with, well, the last man. This administration seems to be taking it out of the realm of science fiction.

Democrats should all start making the jerk off motion when asked about anything Trump-related, just to see how it gets described. “Controversial gesture that suggests self-pleasuring”

Please read my latest reflection. There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House. Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-reichs...
