If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

Mendacious man who promised not to cut Medicaid endorses plan to cut Medicaid. He needs an excuse to give more tax cuts to billionaires. His priorities are clear. Yet I still see MAGAs claiming they don't want to support Ukraine because we need the money for healthcare, as if that will happen.🙄

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is now learning that a lot of Republican voters are on Medicaid.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

So basically, the Department of Health and Human Services is finished. If you want to stay safe from food recalls, viruses, and whatever else is coming—better start looking elsewhere for reliable information.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is “discovering.” That’s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.

Firing thousands of federal employees opens up the opportunity to create a workforce where the only criterion for being hired is your loyalty to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It's not about efficiency.

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.
