The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching defenses against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

One reason Trump starts with a lot of strength is that he now has an economy that has not yet been fucked up by Donald Trump.

For context, this is the same $1.3 billion dollar deal they announced back in December during the Biden presidency. Trump set fire to the US' relationship with both Canada and Mexico in return for literally nothing at all.

The problem with American political discourse is that you can’t explain the impact of tariffs to people dumb enough to think DEI programs cause plane crashes.

I know that all these institutions know how to push back because when Obama directed them to enforce pre-existing Title IX law, universities said no. They flat out refused until there was a working group and specific guidelines. And even then, they still refused.

As vindication for his claim that DEI is responsible for the plane crash, Trump points to the fact that they found a black box.

Reading all of the anti-trans EOs this week, I am reminded of how much harder it is to litigate against incompetent opposing counsel (as opposed to competent lawyers). You have to start by essentially constructing their argument for them in order to know what to counter. I suspect that is the point.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

The expectation that Trumpists would ever admit they were wrong, rather than blame everything on their favorite Emmanuel Goldstein, was always wrong. They would die with Trump’s knife in their back whining about Biden.
