Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in. Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world. People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks. This reality has not set in yet.

Trump and Musk represent the rot in society that is born from impunity and a general lack of accountability. Whether it’s a lack of accountability for war crimes or in personal relationships these men and their reflectors are actively dismantling the social order, laws, and civilization.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of them are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

GOLDMAN: “.. We estimate that unauthorized immigrants earn 20% less on average in hourly wages than native-born and authorized immigrant non-supervisory workers .. employers that [lose] a meaningful part of their unauthorized immigrant workforce would likely face higher wage costs.”

DOGE will be used to privatize US public services, what is being labeled "government efficiency" is a corporate takeover of federal agencies and tasks, this will harm environmental protections, research, and researchers. Marjorie Taylor Greene joining the panel will increase negative consequences.
