When you start firing the military to put in your own people, you’re about to get into a whole bunch of illegal actions that won’t benefit anybody. Don’t sit and watch! Push back. www.armed-services.senate.gov/about/member...

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

#Trump is NOT #King He’s a deranged imbecile that is a puppet on strings being manipulated by Thiel, Yarvin AND Musk. #SheShed #WeThePeople

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Now #Pepsi also cutting back #DEI initiatives ... Luckily I didn't drink or eat from stuff from you anyway #BoycottFascism www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

DOGE’s gaslight accounting is getting covered from multiple outlets. A sampling from just this week: @politico.com @bloomberg.com @nytimes.com @nbcnews.com

DOGE is a dodge. The math isn’t mathing. (No paywall).

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

When everyone else is rushing to comply with fascism...

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

“I want Generals more like Hitler’s Generals!” said Trump previously!

This guy is a lying piece of shit.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

“I shake my head as people actually think DOGE has identified waste, fraud and abuse in 5 days. What they are doing is gutting programs they don't like according to Project 2025. They haven't done any analysis and don't even know the functions of the depts they are cutting.” - Henry M. Rosenberg

Trump: “Zelensky shouldn’t have started the war with Russia.”

“On my first trip, I asked how I would know what a human bone looks like. They told me I would know. On the second day, I found a femur. After four months, I learned to spot chalky white remains from 50 to 100 feet away.”

#MAGA

48-52:Senate defeated an effort by Baldwin (D-WI) to amend the GOP budget resolution to block legislation that "would take away health care from #seniors, including those receiving care in #nursinghomes, through cuts to #Medicaid." 60 votes were needed. Collins (R-ME) voted Yes.
