I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

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.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Super glad we torched our reputation with one of our closest allies by continually dangling a self-destructive trade war threat over their head, brilliant 14 Dimensional Chess move here

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

All I'm saying is...

The Pfizer Super Bowl commercial about the child with cancer is not uplifting to me, because I know kids like that will die because Trump & Elon slashed NIH funding of cancer research & all medical research, and did so illegally.

Perhaps if he had not spent so much time playing video games so that he could be the #1 video game player he would know that the answer to this question is "All of them."

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk believe their power is unchecked and unaccountable to Congress and the courts. The scary thing is at this point I’m not sure they’re wrong.

We don’t have any standards on who we’re putting in charge of our government now. And that’s putting stress on the people already there.
