In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!

I thought about this, this morning, but just didn't want to say it out loud. There's some reason they don't care to return him

NEW: An unsigned interagency agreement calls for the Dept of Labor to reimburse the US DOGE Service up to **$1.3 million** for work done by four DOGE affiliates over 18 months. Musk has previously stated that DOGE staffers would cost taxpayers nothing. from me and @timmarchman.bsky.social:

60 Minutes found that 90% of the immigrants sent to brutal prison in El Salvador had no criminal record. I cant stop thinking about them, worrying about them. This is so wrong. Why isnt everyone upset? Trump regime refuses to bring them back. Its just terrible.

-Trump bans the AP from the White House press pool -Judge orders AP be allowed back into the pool -Trump admin continues to block AP from the pool, and then censors the pool report noting the AP was turned away. Great reporting from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social www.status.news/p/white-hous...

Good times before the antichrist stole the election….

In our house, Easter is about faith, family… and us sprinting around the yard early in the morning with my kids, looking for eggs like their lives depend on it. At church Friday night, I was reminded of God’s love and forgiveness, and that we should love our neighbor as ourselves…

About to write a doctoral thesis on the century of American politics that took place over Easter weekend of 2025 - the president posting falsified evidence to deny due process - the secretary of defense leaking classified information for a second time - a congressional rep posting a public meltdown

Happy Easter!

I voted. Was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Canada's excellent democratic process is not something that we should take for granted.

I for one feel sad that the last public figure meeting the Pope had before dying was this one

We’ve been told that long telomeres mean a longer life. But this 116-year-old (once the world’s oldest person) had telomeres far shorter than average. Emerging evidence suggests that telomeres are simply not a limiting factor for longevity in humans. 🧬🧪🧬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #longevity

The Supreme Court is rarely Supreme! We The People have lost all faith in them!

They hate America, the constitution, and our democracy, and want a dictatorship instead. They’re not hiding it.

Exclusive: When Elon Musk and President Trump commanded all federal workers to submit weekly emails listing five accomplishments, they warned of harsh consequences. But records obtained by The Post reveal that officials refused to comply with core aspects of the directive from the beginning.

Chopra: Either we jumpstart into a new mindset and become the change we want to see in the world—or we continue walking toward extinction. So maybe, nature might say to itself: “The human species was an interesting experiment in evolution. It didn’t work. Let’s try something else.”

“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

Another great day of protesting. Afraid of protesting are you? You will meet the best people on Earth. You will be uplifted with hope. You will know there are wonderful people in this world. All you have to lose is your stress. Join us!

Somewhat ironic that the least qualified, most unfit and incompetent Sec of Defense in American history is the one who abolished DEI.

There needs to be more attention given to all the harm being done by this guy.

TEXAS this is to be expected

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Awesome video. Great timeline cleanse.

This Stellar of sheer negligent

Oops!…I Did It Again apnews.com/article/hegs... Hegseth had a second Signal chat where he shared details of Yemen strike, New York Times reports
