“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

In the current House version, they only spell out $1.5 trillion in cuts ($880 bn in E&C, plus more) - but for every dollar below $2 trillion they get a dollar less in tax cuts. So not only do deeper cuts beyond $2 trillion buy them extra tax cuts, they get punished for doing “only” $1.5 trillion.

Apart from the many disqualifying features of Patel & Bongino, there is no indication either has any ability to run the FBI. Neither has any leadership experience at any level of anything, much less leadership experience relevant to the largest law enforcement agency in the U.S.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

A federal judge has extended the order keeping Elon Musk's DOGE out of Treasury Department payment systems, ruling that the Trump admin's process for granting access to the sensitive data was so flawed and haphazard that it was likely illegal.

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

This is such a great example of what its actually really important to bring the heat to elected Republicans: they are massively soft crybabies who will 100% come unglued when faced with even the slightest bit of pushback from voters.

Patel is an unqualified extremist who probably perjured himself, receives money from Russia & China, and has made clear he will weaponize the FBI to pursue Trump's political enemies. The only Trump appointee who did not make is Gaetz, seemingly for being an insufficiently loyal Republican.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
