DOGE is a scam of the worst form of idiocracy. The question is … are you dumb enough to believe it?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

$8 million is definitely less than $8 billion. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

The daily chaos we're seeing, planes dropping out of the sky and nuclear weapons officials being fired, measles outbreaks, is all on trump -- the guy who ran to be in fucking charge. There are unqualified people at every position he nominated, so things will get MUCH worse. We're only 28 days in.

“The head of the Social Security Administration has resigned after she refused to by DOGE staffers access to sensitive information. Your information.”

I just got a report that a terminated employee from another agency got their job back after replying to the termination email with their good perf appraisal. If you are still connected, might as well try. It makes for good documentation if nothing else. Let me know. So far only this one anecdote.

FFS! 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

I think folks think you can talk to a Trump-voter long enough and they will change. Wrong. Their voting habits will change when they are impacted and hurt by Trump policies...maybe. There's no reason to spend a lot of your time on them. Organize. March. Boycott. Write. Call. And then rest.

Letters are going out to some Federal workers stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, if those workers had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors … they need to keep ALL records and should absolutely pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin!
