“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

5️⃣0️⃣ days. Not a single vote to lower costs. House GOP leadership is playing politics with people’s lives. It’s time to listen to the American people and vote on legislation that makes life more affordable.

Chuckling at Gorsuch's dissent (joined by Alito) in the Special Counsel case, where the majority kicked the can a few days. "Apparently?" Based on an 1898 case? You're making a ridiculous 'originalist' argument that renders courts powerless and you don't have better cites? C'mon, man.

As a child of Nazi concentration camp survivors, I hope all the Jews, who voted for Trump, appreciate the Nazi salutes from two of his most trusted advisors. I know sometimes it is hard to see the forest with the trees, but how naïve and gullible can you be.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.
