Social Security Checks Could Stop Going Out by April, Ex-Head Warns

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Go read a book.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Trump on the Russia-Ukraine war: "I'm interested primarily from the standpoint of death."

Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV.  Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

I feel like I’m supposed to do something but I don’t know what to do. All the wheels have come off
