Musk's job at DOGE is only complete if the goal was to create chaos, defeat all regulatory claims against him, and cripple the civil service.

Read this.

President Trump has pledged to stand up for people who vape. What a mensch.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday evening abolishing union rights at more than two dozen federal agencies and offices, in a major expansion of the administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government.

JD Vance is now in charge of making museums racist www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Quite the headline… 📰

No, we will not stop talking about it until there is accountability.

Trump the predator

the point is to kill the blacks.

Trump wants to set rules for the way states run their elections and wants DOGE to audit voter databases. DOGE. Not an independent entity - his cronies. Mike Johnson is talking about eliminating district courts. These are not actions you see in a Democratic Republic.

Now he wants to pay his brownshirts. But with your money, not his.

If there were an agency dedicated to finding corruption, fraud and waste in the federal government, it would start right here.

An investigation by The Trace, CBS News, and Reveal found that more than 52,000 former police guns resurfaced in crimes between 2006 and 2022. Since then, over a dozen law enforcement agencies have stopped reselling their used guns or reconsidered the practice.

Elon Musk should be personally liable for fixing all the things he has broken. The costs of restarting programs, rehiring people, is going to be enormous, and the American people should not have to shoulder the costs. He should, as should Trump and every other billionaire who contributed to this.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

In fairness, he owns the government, also, so the performance of all his enterprises is not shocking.

“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Brutal.

"Should the court grant the motion, it would be the first lawsuit against DOGE where the plaintiffs are able to obtain evidence, albeit limited, on how Elon Musk’s faux agency is operating within the federal government." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase. You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you? Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

democrats: we're fighting trump, give us money also democrats: nearly half our caucus just voted for another trump nominee

when you pass over a qualified black/asian woman for a job and instead give it to an incompetent and racist white guy, this is what happens.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Damn absurd that Republicans are moving to confirm as FBI director a guy who worked with and glorified violent January 6 rioters (promoting the J6 Prison Choir) and who reposted a meme of himself using a chainsaw on Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and other Trump foes. He also is unqualified. This is nuts.

not to downplay the ugliness of this but this is the equivalent of busywork. they are giving him executive orders to sign so that it feels like he’s doing something.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.

The property insurance industry knows what’s up with climate change and socio economic risk. It’s just about math and science to them. So it’s interesting to see what they have to say www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/brea...

Astounding that the media is covering the effort to install Lara Trump as a US senator credulously, as if it’s not one of the most corrupt power moves we’ve seen in decades in US politics. Imagine how they would covered Clinton pressing the AR Gov to appoint Chelsea a Senator!?
