Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."

With no more disease monitoring, we don’t even know the severity of bird flu’s spread in the US, let alone if/when it could jump from human to human. We’re reaping what we sow.

More inspiration in one post than the first four months of the entire Trump administration.

So much winning!

check this shit out motherfucker (i impose tariffs on every country in the world and tank the economy, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do)

Masterful gambit, sir

“Have you said thank you once?”

Cannot be understated how much democracy needed Susan Crawford to win.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Marine Le Pen, the French far-right leader, has been convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to 4 years in prison. She has been barred from running for public office for 5 years. Bravo, France for doing what the U.S. could not! 🇫🇷
