An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

Treasury Department officials admitted today that the agency “mistakenly” and “briefly” gave a member of Musk’s DOGE team the power to alter a sensitive federal payments database. The disclosure undercuts the Trump administration’s repeated claims that access was limited to a “read-only” basis.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

A counterintelligence disaster is right. This is a highly unusual request from the White House, and an even more unusual compliance for the CIA. This will put lives at risk.

Criminal records of J6 Rioters who were pardoned by Trump includes rape, domestic violence, drug trafficking, and manslaughter. Cool, cool. Maybe would have been smart to research a few of those before pardoning everyone, huh? www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing. Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans. Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
