Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Musk’s website, DOGE, leaked classified government information to the entire world. NOFURN [Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals] information on their website about the [intelligence community] headcount has prompted a scramble as people check whether their information has been accessed.

Donald Trump chose to waste millions of taxpayer dollars spending the afternoon at the Daytona 500—while multiple states are devastated by severe flooding, and over 10 people are reportedly dead. Absolutely sickening.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Walking the dog. Like I do every day. She pooped. Like she does every day. I picked it up with a little baggie. Like I do every day. But today, instead of waiting to toss the bag of fresh, steaming dogshit in a trash can at home, I left it on the hood of a double-parked Cybertruck. Where it belongs.
