In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

Given Hakeem Jeffries' lack of fight/plan, I worry they'll let the GOP budget pass. If they do, countless people will die, others will suffer. The economy will suffer. Efforts to sustain democracy will be grossly undermined. And we won't be able to replace that money for many years, if ever.

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender. Because something something working class champions.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

The Trump admin issued an order "forbidding health officials from giving public notice of upcoming grant review meetings," blocking "an obscure but necessary cog in the grant-making machinery that delivers some $47 billion annually to research on Alzheimer's, heart disease, and other ailments."

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Just so it’s clear, the MAGA regime and Russia are pretending to negotiate the end of Russia’s terroristic invasion of Ukraine without any Ukrainian delegation involved. The only end to the war that they are trying to achieve is Russia’s complete takeover of Ukraine.

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.

Apparently, DeJoy is now stepping down as postmaster general. Which probably means, this administration is now going to privatize the post office. I’d bet anything on it.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

What if I told you that "cutting funding" and "cutting the deficit" are not the same thing? In fact, it's possible to cut funding SO MUCH that the debt INCREASES. That's because if the economy contracts, lost revenue could exceed the savings from cuts. That's why idiots shouldn't be in charge.
