Just when you think the reputation of DOGE can’t sink any lower: gizmodo.com/doge-staffer...

His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

I saw a U.S map labeled "Dumbfuckistan" & it's been in my head every since😅🎭

Trump couldn’t care less

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

Hrrrrm can’t quite figure this one out. It’s a real mystery here.

You know damn good and well, Trump’s, “Maybe I’ll give every American $5000 from DOGE” remarks…and only a bullshit remark made in response to his slipping poll numbers. Slipping poll numbers strike FEAR and HUMILIATION, right into his ass….hole.

Once he’s done isolating the United States from the rest of the world, we won’t be great, we will be irrelevant.

There is no reason that Elon Musk needs access to taxpayers' personal information. His unelected and unqualified DOGE bros should be kept as far away from the IRS as humanly possible.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

The United States is a service economy. Or it was, until he decided we should go back to coal mines, field work & sweatshops. How is building his own shithole country more practical than taxing the rich?

Trump is why we can’t have nice things.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

CNN: Do you think that calling Elon Musk "a dick" is effective messaging? Rep. Robert Garcia: "Well, he is a dick." I approve this message. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Reason number I’ve-Lost-Count of why you should never purchase ANYTHING from HP: www.theregister.com/2025/02/20/h...

DOGE staffers at Social Security Administration as per Social Security Works: Marko Elez (who resigned after his RACIST posts resurfaced & then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. Call your members of Congress & tell them to protect OUR money, OUR Social Security.

WHAT EFFORTS to bring down food prices? All he’s done is threaten tariffs, which scares our foreign suppliers and causes them to find new customers in other countries, thus diminishing our food supply and raising prices.

literally i think they think bird flu is like chicken covid and most of the animals get a cold and then a couple die and most get better and not like "2/3rds of the birds who get infected die of it" which is what bird flu is actually like

Remember: Republicans are not honest brokers who negotiate 'in good faith.' They are Sabotours. The destroyers of Truth & Democracy. Vladimir Putin's BITCHES. The opposite of patriotism. Traitors every single one. #GaslitNation #GaslitGOP

Motherfucker probably said my damage is done, I’m out.

An Obvious Truth ~

This is such a genius idea that NO ONE has ever imagined before!

These barely-sentient people who believe deranged stuff like “we should make Canada the 51st state so they can vote for us” must be purged from the Democrat party.

Timeline cleanse from all the political skeets you’ve been reading:

Anyone else hearing anything about this? "It hasn't been formally announced anywhere that I have heard, but GREEN card holders beware, for those who have had one for less than 2 years, if you leave the US to go to another country, you will not be allowed back into the US, according to customs @ LAX

A new GOP-MAGA bill introduced in Utah would allow Nazi/confederate flags to be displayed in schools and government buildings whilst banning LGBTQ+ Pride flags. And this is why we will continue to refer to them as Nazis, white supremacists, bigots, racists and fascists.

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.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are not just changing algorithms, or closing buildings, or pushing papers. They are hurting middle-class Americans to pay for billionaire tax breaks. It’s that simple.

Trump working hard to solve inflation

This should concern you more than any executive order so far. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/fe...

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

This.

Elon Musk is gaslighting EVERY current & future recipient of Social Security. BUT IT IS OUR MONEY, NOT HIS!

Germany is now more democratic, less fascist and less tolerant of Naziism than the United States.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

A worker at the General Services Administration told colleagues in a Slack message Tuesday that they have resigned in protest after Elon Musk ally Thomas Shedd requested “admin/root access to all components of the Notify.go system,” www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

Anyone remember COBOL? The database for the Social Security administration was written in COBOL, way back in 1973-79. Here’s a coding tidbit for you: When a database doesn’t have a date value, each program has their very own epoch date. Guess what COBOL uses… 1875.

what being a "probationary employee" means: (thread) bsky.app/profile/mekk...

Just mailed a bill payment with the flag upside down. Will do so until Trump is in Prison or 6 feet under.

on the backs of the retired, the working class, and the poor.
