If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

NEW: Elon Musk's position to reform the federal government is an unprecedented attempt to split the traditional role of the president and create a shadow government that fundamentally alters our constitutional order, argues John C. Ronquillo of the Institute for Public Leadership.

We can't shame our politicians or media into a place of courage and non-appeasement. The only thing that will make them change course is when the great damage being inflicted by this fascist coup comes home to roost for them, and it will. Take action yourself, great or small, public or private.

I have no issue with a sitting president attending an event with the American people. However, if your mantra is extreme efficiency and cutting waste—while labeling things like cancer research and veterans’ benefits as waste—you have no business participating in events like this.

Since we’re on the topic of government waste, Donald Trump’s joyride around the Daytona 500 cost American taxpayers around $5,000,000. 🤡 Here’s the breakdown: Air Force One Costs: estimated $800,000 – $1,000,000. Presidential Motorcade & Transport: estimated $200,000 – $500,000

I watched “Number 24” about the Norwegian resistance the other day. Am watching “Watch on the Rhine” now. These stories are so darkly resonant now. I can’t help but wonder if they are more than that. Foreshadowings of choices we will all soon face. Am I being melodramatic? I fear I’m not.

As you know, I've been in communication with hundreds of federal workers & I've noticed a pattern. This is totally anecdotal, but I feel like I need to say something. For at least 5 agencies, the payment systems went offline briefly & were then restored - all around the time DOGE was there. 1/

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.
