If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

So much for the meritocracy... "Her awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit with two oak leaf clusters; Meritorious Service Medal with four oak leaf clusters..."

At least the judiciary is trying to do its job. *disclaimer: excludes SCOTUS, that shit be broken*

Couldn't have articulated it better.

"Third term" immediately disqualifies him from further terms.

I don't know if you can call it acumen... more like criminal behavior.

We've always known them to be the "snowflakes", this just confirms it...pussies.

The math never "adds up" with these guys.

I think we all know he doesn't run anything. Other people do. He just spouts random shit and signs what they tell him to sign.

He did this and every other republican president in their previous administrations. They aren't fiscal conservatives, they're liars.

I thought these guys were supposed to be good at math...

Salted caramel and shortbread Oreos?! Time to get the fat pants on...

What the hell did people think was going to happen? Like Buddy in Elf, when you hit all of the buttons, you're going to hit some of your supporters, especially when you don't understand what you're doing.

Didn't even think about the farmland aspect to the closure of USAID. This is what happens when you let children run the government.

So if Musk isn't in control of DOGE, a bunch of 20 somethings are mass firing federal employees at will? How fucked does that sound?! And to all of the "progressives" that sat on their hands and didn't vote, fuck you. You're just as culpable.

The mental gymnastics that are required...

I have found my new progressive slogan...

Craziness, since about 1/3 of the military is African American and just under half is made up of minorities. They're really trying to fuck over everyone, no one is safe from this train wreck.

Loss of life is preventable for so many things because of science. It amazes me how many people will turn a blind eye to evidence and blindly follow people like RFK Jr. For those that believe in evidence based practices, keep getting vaccinated. For deniers... good luck.

This is the important part. A LOT of veterans take jobs with the federal government, receive benefits/hospital care (like myself) for disabilities related to service from those veterans working, receive a hiring preference for being a veteran or disabled veteran, which could fall under DEI.

Masterclass...

The biggest moment for me recently that I picture vividly is when my discussing the Greenland threats before the election he stated, incredulously, "Do you really think he will do that?!" Yes, yes I did and still do even more so now after this train wreck 3 weeks.

Unacceptable. They TOLD you what they were going to do. They TOLD you their ideology time and time again. How are you surprised?

Jebus Chrispies...

I used to fear the coming of AI overlords. Now I’m thinking, “Well, that will probably be better than Elon Musk and Donald Trump.”

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Habba’s understanding of the separation of powers is about as good as her legal prowess

The President, his heir apparent, and Donald Trump.

These punitive laws do nothing to solve the problem. They simply exacerbate it. Try solving the problem, not punishing people who really have nothing to lose. It's why they're homeless in the first place.

Best.... yet...

This is just willful ignorance. Past behaviors are the best predictors of future behaviors.

I couldn't have said it better. The last sentence is the key and what has always run through my mind given the current political climate.

Trump sounds like the 8th grader in the back of my room that never pays attention in class lol. Good luck on the final big boy.

Fucking right?!

Uhhhhh, whut?

Amen... all praise John McClain, who defeated Hans Gruber on Christmas Eve. May we never have to fear Hans Gruber again. HoHoHo now I have a machine gun... amen

Evidently the GOP really doesn’t have a problem with foreigners taking over the country.

Reap the whirlwind Mr Johnson...reap it. Grow a spine for once.

Best... nickname... ever...

Can't say that i am at all surprised. So much for getting to pull younger liberals into the tent. They just can't stop tripping over themselves. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Beautiful...

Another detachment from reality by the anti immigration fucks. Everyone TOLD YOU what would happen if Britain left. Reap it...

This guy...

PREACH!

What the fuck is going to end up in this library...?! My guess is 100,000 copies of The Art of the Deal... apnews.com/article/abc-...
