— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Surprise - Enrique Tarrio was arrested for assault. One more and I have a BINGO!

Taxpayer advocates and unions filed a lawsuit to block Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing and retaining sensitive data from the IRS. Plaintiffs say "DOGE is violating multiple laws[.]"

Why is this so hard for news orgs? www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

DOGE team's "wall of receipts" shows errors in tallying billions in savings www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-wa...

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Just saw this headline “Rick Scott & Liz Warren call out ‘culture of corruption’ in letter to Fed Chair Powell”. Rick Scott? Isn’t this the guy who pleaded the Fifth Amendment 75 times during his 2000 deposition for Medicaid/ Medicare fraud while CEO/chairman of Columbia/HCA? Kind of ironic.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

"Trump (with his inability to nominate anyone competent) owns this. Elon (with his insistence on gutting the government of talent) owns this. And all of those spineless Republicans Senators (who greenlit Sean Duffy for fear of asserting their autonomy as a co-equal branch of government) own this."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
