People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

NEW: It's the Elon Musk paradox: On X he's a budget-cutting warrior leading a noble Trump-approved battle against the Deep State bureaucracy. But to the WH, increasingly besieged in court, he's a run-of-the-mill adviser with no decision-making power. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Refreshing to read "Honestly, no I don't. [understand]", but disturbing that it's possible to graduate law school and pass a bar exam without passing high school Biology (or paying attention to science, or having enough intellectual curiosity to confirm the basis of an assertion in fact?).

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Yet another instance of finding the fraud DOGE is seeking in the work of the fired IGs: Fired HHS IG Christi Grimm describes an operation last June that resulted in fraud charges against 193 defendants, $1.6B in losses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As you know, I've been in communication with hundreds of federal workers & I've noticed a pattern. This is totally anecdotal, but I feel like I need to say something. For at least 5 agencies, the payment systems went offline briefly & were then restored - all around the time DOGE was there. 1/

Hmmmmmm: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports. Plus, Trump hates EVs! “Drill Baby Drill”
