The “how dare you name DOGE employees” thing reminds me of the way the turds running The Federalist would respond when you asked who funded them. YOU JUST WANT TO VICTIMIZE OUR BACKERS, they’d shriek.

Only Donald Trump would say he's taking "good care" of our Veterans and admit he's firing thousands of them all in the same breath. As shameless as it gets.

Musk is actively undermining air safety, potentially causing crashes, then awarding himself a $2.4 billion contract to fix what he is breaking? This is not conflict of interest, this is criminal insanity! Amount of money Musk is stealing from US is bigger than all his “savings” combined.

Quite right. And also if you are a business say trying to get a permit, swift processing of your application might benefit from having staff on hand to deal with it, so more employees does not necessarily equal more red tape.

This enrages me. Imagine treating our public servants so harshly, adding insult to injury. I hate how they portray and treat them. Because these evil overlords are criminals and thieves, they expect that everyone is, that everyone has the same malice and larceny in their hearts that they do.

"The impression I get is that the people who made this decision didn’t really know what these contracts were for or the backgrounds of the small businesses they were about to drive out of business. Needless to say that’s quite an indictment in itself."

I continue to note that the thing that really made the Romanian authorities go after the Tate brothers was that they held an American woman against her will. I cannot imagine how that poor woman must be feeling, that her own country's administration is preferring her torturers rights to her own.

Trump wants to end birthright citizenship. EXCEPT for those facing charges for rape, child sex trafficking and money-laundering. Then he’ll personally fight to get them into the US. Trump: never not siding with the worst people in the world.

Important to note here that the SSA is already in a staffing crisis that goes back years and has built under D and R admins. The idea you're taking a breaking point situation and cutting staff in half ... is, well, you might as well just light it on fire.

Not sure why Democrats would provide any votes to keep the Trump/Musk government open. They are ignoring the law. Passing a new law saying they need to follow the law doesn't accomplish much. Republicans control both chambers of Congress.

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

"If the job is not essential...obviously they should not be on the public payroll." What does this mean? Trump's EO calls for focusing reductions in force for employees deemed "non-essential" during a shutdown. That is 800,000 employees. The want a permanent government shutdown.
