“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Great News That’s Bad For Trump Before we head into another week of the Trump and Musk chaos, I’m happy to be back with some more good news for you. I hope it gives you some relief—even if just for a moment. My Sunday post:

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Focus on the positive: this has overall been a very bad week for Trump! * he is falling in the polls - both his favorability and his policies * he lost his first Supreme Court case on firing an watchdog, setting the way for others fired to fight back 1/

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

powerful letter from Marc Elias to Musk

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

Earlier today I wrote an open letter to Elon Musk in response to a post in which he claimed that I am “undermining civilization” and suffering from “generational trauma.” The response I received from so many of you was overwhelming. Thank you for all the kind words of support. The fight continues.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

“Walking up to career public servants and shoving them aside isn’t chutzpah: it’s megalomaniacal brain worms. Kliger fancies himself a high-brow warrior on the front lines for technocracy, but he’s nothing but a childish foot soldier being sold a bill of goods by Musk—just like the rest of us.”

Trump’s White House is now trying to claim that Musk is technically not in charge of DOGE to get out of the suit being filed by 14 states. IF (big if) that’s the case then they’ll have to name who is actually running DOGE (get ready pre-pubescent sacrificial lamb) www.npr.org/2025/02/18/g...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

Elon Musk is serving as Trump’s hatchetman, slashing government spending on everything from dying babies in warzones to Americans displaced by natural disasters. Meanwhile, Musk himself is a “walking conflict of interest,” whose companies are raking in more federal dollars.

67 fake bomb threats on Election Day 2024. Almost all of them targeting heavily Democratic cities — which had lower turnout than in 2020. Many of the threats were clearly traced to Russia. And the mainstream media and establishment have somehow COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”
