New from me! I spoke with real federal auditors about what an actual audit looks like. Spoiler: what DOGE is doing is not it. "In no uncertain terms is this an audit. It’s a heist, stealing a vast amount of government data.” @wired.com www.wired.com/story/federa...

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

The National Park budget is $3 billion. It produces $55 billion in revenue. This isn’t about balancing a budget. It’s about Trump and Musk privatizing public lands to add to their rich buddies portfolios.

(B.Krassenstein) While boasting on Fox News about her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, Linda McMahon couldn’t even explain what the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is. This is the person trying to destroy education in America. Let that sink in.

The world’s richest man doesn’t want you to criticize him. He’s using his puppet (the President of the United States) to threaten the tools of the state against peaceful Americans expressing their opinions. Trump & Musk are trying to outlaw dissent & silence regular people who threaten their power.

Notice how the one government agency that isn’t being defunded is the Secret Service. How interesting.

Death by idiocy & ignorance is coming. Uganda has an Ebola outbreak. 12 Americans were exposed to it. Uganda tried informing the US but its staff had gone. There was no-one to answer the phone. No-one to set up border screening. No-one to liaise with WHO. Madness.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

I don't think that my parents, because they're on Social Security, are parasites. I don't think my neighbor who is on Medicaid is a parasite. I need Republicans to get right with themselves.

Notice how the agencies these Republican traitors target are the ones that stop big money from ripping you off. They’re gutting the stuff that saves you money to help their billionaire owners make MORE money. You get played while they eat a buffet!

NEW: After consulting former Treasury staff, the Progressive Change Institute just released a memo outlining the worst case scenarios of Musk's hostile takeover. This is nothing more than an economic coup.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.
