Chaos, confusion, & incompetence. This is what you get with Trump. And this is what you’ll get every day for the next 4yrs. And bcuz of Trump, people will die, the economy will suffer, and America will be less safe & less secure. It’s on you Trump voters. You knew exactly who you were voting for.

Wait wait wait wait ... so you're telling me that a guy who praised a fictional cannibal serial killer as a great man, and doesn't understand magnets, batteries, asylum, windmills, or groceries - is BAD at running a country with 330 million people? Who could have see that coming

Elon Musk's DOGE website promised "receipts" for the savings DOGE has secured "no later than Valentine's Day." The Saturday after Valentine's Day, there was a new message: "Receipts coming over the weekend!" The weekend is over. Still no receipts. muskwatch.com/subscribe

The processing fee for a passport is $130 but there can be other costs and you have to get documents establishing your citizenship like a birth certificate and a photograph. This is the new pull tax if the SAVE act passes.
