DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Whatā€™s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

Itā€™s Nan and Grampy sleep over this weekend and the grandchild wants a Shrek marathon, so itā€™s all fart jokes and interspecies love affairs for us todayā€¦

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

If it looks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi and is all pro-eugenics like a Nazi then itā€™s a mother fucking Naziā€¦

If malicious compliance is one of the few ways we can roll back some of this nonsense then make all the good trouble you can yā€™all!!

The waste is coming from the White House. šŸ‘‡

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

I understand why these stories exist but itā€™s important to be clear that heā€™s not ā€œsavingā€ 16 billion, heā€™s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

The past 30 days have been the longest decade of my lifeā€¦

That tracks.

trump, by the numbers: 3 days since flood 2 days of golfing 11 laps in Daytona $5 million taxpayer dollars 14 dead in Kentucky 77 Truth Social posts ZERO posts about the Kentucky victims. NOT. ONE.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class strugglesā€”yet he paints us as the enemy.

I repeatā€¦

ZELENSKYY: The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100 percent WELKER: If the US pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe? ZELENSKYY: Yes

You ever meet an old hippie who is way, way too focused on hating Nixon? Like, you get where they're coming from, but what about Reagan and Bush and all the other terrible politicians and policies? But I get it now. 100%. I am going to be big mad about these motherfuckers until the day I die.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Concerning.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: Iā€™ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Truly wild to see how Trump is playing second fiddle to Elon Musk. Musk is clearly acting as the de-facto president while Trump just fires off social media posts as if he is Musk's assistant.

Hawaii 2024, Iā€™d like to just live in that peaceful cabana bubble forever please.

BULWARK TIPLINEā€”we want to hear from scientists, federal employees, anybody who needs anonymity to share stories that deserve to be reported: thebulwark.com/tips

Once upon a time I thought that Betsy DeVos was the worst thing to happen to education, and then the hearings started today for a woman whoā€™s sole experience is in small business and professional wrestlingā€¦ not one iota of substantial (or any) work in education and theyā€™re putting her in charge??
