I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks. Just sayin'.

I have a room for rent!! It's a large room in a large uptown Manhattan 3BR apartment. Specifically, it's at 158th and St. Nicholas in a rent stable building. $900 wifi and Con Ed included. The roommates are me (a journalist and cheesemonger) and a photography student at SVA. DM me if interested.

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.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

When you understand that DOGE was never meant to save money and make the government more efficient, but to burn it all to the ground and sell it to the highest bidder.... ......it all makes sense.
