tRump is in Putin’s pocket. I can’t believe how far America has fallen that we elect a felon who everyone knew was a Russian asset to be our president. It’s so disheartening.

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

If this is true, then Elon is taking the third rail of American politics and shoving it down Trump’s throat.

Why does a software engineer working for DOGE need access to IRS taxpayer info like Social Security numbers and bank account information? How is that reducing federal waste? It is not.

Very disappointed that both Google Maps and Apple Maps now misname the Gulf of Mexico to appease the wanna-be dictator. I would have started exclusively using the one that kept the name recognized by the world. Are there other good options (for maps - not just driving directions)?

I’m surprised someone used “President Trump”, “Devin Nunes” and “intelligence” in the same sentence and it is not a disparaging one.

So cute. We are reminded of the time JFK Jr was photographed playing under his father’s desk. Only this time President Musk’s young son is standing in the background picking his nose. I wouldn’t want to be that kid when Elon doles out a punishment for embarrassing him.

I guess this means Trump won’t be going to Mara Largo anymore and will be working in the Whitehouse full time?

@realalexcole.bsky.social points out that if Elon and his DOGE (rhymes with douche) we’re really looking for fraud and waste, he would have hired forensic accountants, not programmers/hackers. 100% agree

Great point.

I don’t understand why the media act like DOGE (which I think should be pronounced like douche) is a real federal agency. Only Congress can create a new agency and that hasn’t happened (at least not yet)

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

1. Shadow President Musk, born a rich white kid in South Africa, doesn’t like USAID. 2. USAID was one of several organizations that helped end Apartheid in South Africa. I wonder if those two facts are related.

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

NEW: "With Patel at the helm of the FBI — someone who refuses to acknowledge the 2020 election results — there are serious concerns that the agency could be weaponized, not only to punish Trump’s political enemies but also to undermine election security in the next cycle."

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.

Wait, so TikTok is not banned anymore just because Trump said so? I’m not saying I agreed with them, but both the House and Senate passed a law; the President signed it; it was challenged and upheld all the way to SCOTUS, but Trump can reverse all of that by decree? What am I missing?

We all know he’s moving the inauguration inside not because of cold weather (other inaugurations have been much colder), but because of the optics of a small crowd. This guy’s ego is so fragile.

“Worry”. Seriously? That makes it sound like it’s not already basically guaranteed to happen. I support efforts to be impartial, but this is FAR too deferential to Trump. We KNOW he will do that. He has promised to.

Not only the path. We have already arrived. Without the oligarchs Trump could not have come back and retaken the White House.

These nominees are pathetic! They are clearly not qualified for the positions. It is abundantly clear that they were nominated because they will be unquestionably loyal to Trump, and that is the only thing he cares about.

Musk ruined Twitter (now X). Now Zuckerberg is trying to emulate him. Meta is a publicly traded company with a board so one might think he could be controlled. However Meta is organized in a way that gives him more than half of the votes even though he only owns <15% of the shares.

So Trump wants to create an “External Revenue Service” to collect tariffs. He has a lot of advisors. Won’t one of them please sit down with him and teach him how tariffs work and who actually pays the costs? Please?

Years ago, the insurance industry created an ad campaign claiming health care in countries with national single payer systems was inferior and meant long waits. The more I interact with people living in other countries, the more I learn how wrong that is. The US needs Universal healthcare.
