DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Elon doesn't seem to understand how the federal government works.

The order to email Elon Musk five things you did last week or else you’re fired appears to be illegal. More here.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I'm glad that this story has been picked up by national and international outlets. One local outlet, D Magazine, has also highlighted the report. The rest of the mainstream news outlets in Dallas have not. Perhaps I'm being impatient but I must admit I'm confused as to why they've yet to pick it up.

He nails it.

I'm so sorry, Julianne Moore & LeUyen Pham 💔 Thank you for FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY. For writing, for illustrating a book for the kids with freckles, for the adults with freckles. A story insisting it's okay to be different. Your differences make you YOU 💛 pen.org/julianne-moo...

Consider following Mr. Jarvis for a clear perspective of what's happening with our traditional media sources.

DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.

In the #BrokenPost's surrender dictionary, this odious blackmail is merely a "deal." U.S., Ukraine near deal to grant mineral rights to Washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk's private security detail has been deputized as Federal Marshalls and can carry firearms on Federal property. What could possibly go wrong? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Idiocracy was a documentary

Many federal workers are vets. They're terrified. www.businessinsider.com/trump-doge-c...

The cruelty is the point. It's entirely unnecessary and incredibly dangerous - but they already know that.

Finally, some good news ⬇️

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed. This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

Our data was probably more secure when we stored it on floppy disks 💾

Wait till they hear about the Department of Transportation

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Slava Ukraine! Heroyam Slava! 💙💛

The work my colleagues are doing on the plight of the migrants deported to Panama is stunning

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

"This means that children are expected to show up in court, as of tomorrow, on their own, with no legal counsel, and try to defend themselves" 26,000 innocent children, some too young to read or talk, are now without legal representation in court. Morally reprehensible.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

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.

The guy who used to run social media for the NRA is now creating the same violent rhetoric for the White House.

stephen miller and the Nosferatu interns are posting images of migrant flights with things like shackles, crying families, etc. With the letters 'ASMR'. ASMR is Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response: a pleasant, tingling feeling some people experience when watching videos featuring unusual sounds

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Dark Pence is back.

This is what happens when a term used to show compassion and awareness is stolen and twisted to mean something else.
