Out of control, unprofessional, and probably illegal. 😡

Program cuts and savings should not be conflated with efficiency. Efficiency is about streamlining or making improvements to methods or processes.

People losing real jobs. Citizens losing services. It is interesting to see what this regime chooses to spend on and what it does not. Notice how the cuts are predominantly in areas that inconvenience or don’t interest Elon Musk. www.axios.com/local/seattl...

One word to describe the Republicans in Congress: craven. (Definition: contemptibly lacking in courage; cowardly.)

Mitch McConnell had multiple chances to do the right thing but refused to do so. His legacy is marred with ignominy. Strong leaders must be selfless, serve, and be ready to make difficult decisions and live with the consequences. They do the right thing. However, we see little of that in D.C.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

There is zero chance we are going to let Senate Republicans pass the most pro-billionaire and anti-middle-class budget we have EVER seen the easy way. I will not sit by quietly while they try to take food off families' tables so they can put more fuel in private jets.

Musk is in a position to get richer off market moving data, stomp out his competitors, & freeze any oversight of his companies. I ask Trump's Secretary of Labor nominee whether it's appropriate for someone with so many conflicts of interest to have this level of access to confidential DOL data.
