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.

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

BREAKING NEWS: Spraytan Spunkmuppet discovers that bringing down grocery prices is "hard" but bringing down planes is a piece of cake.

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

He's just upset that Elon is out-naziing him.

Hey, @msnbc.com. Why do you allow your readers to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most other major platforms — but NOT Bluesky? Asking for nearly 32 million users.

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org files emergency lawsuit to halt DOGE from taking taxpayer data at the IRS. Visit Democracy Docket for full coverage. www.democracydocket.com

Maybe they'll all start fighting like a bunch of hungry rats in a garbage bag.. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

One of corrupt immigrant Nazi Musk’s many baby making machines named Ashley St. Clair had the nerve once to insult VP Kamala Harris as well as her credentials whilst Ashley is now only known for being impregnated by a fascist crook.

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

Great news, everyone! Elon Musk's side project, DOGE, now wants to play with your tax returns! Because who needs privacy when you can have efficiency, right? #PrivacyWho #DOGETaxAdventure

If a Dem president was at a car race the day after a major national disaster had 3 states underwater with fatalities, most of the posts on X tonight would be trashing that president. But whether bad or good, Dems politicians don’t seem to like to play that game. But it is effective.

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

AND ALSO THERE'S A COUP

States are being ravaged by floods, thousands of federal employees were fired for being collateral damage of revenge, food aid rots in ports, bird flu/measles are spreading, inflation/prices are surging, yet the orange felon wasted millions riding around Daytona 500. I hate him.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Money talks

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

This feels so relevant right now.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

You know, I used to disapprove of people who called Twitter 'X', but now I'm thinking maybe we should differentiate its current form from the old model. I made some amazing friends on Twitter and joined fantastic communities. Now it's a hate-driven hellsite, deserving of its new name.

Knowledge is power…

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

A now-former federal prosecutor schools the president on what it means to be in charge of our nation’s system of justice. Read his letter! open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The bidding war in the STL policing world continues: Private policing contractor “The City’s Finest” raised its rate for armed officers to $85/hr in January. Image is from TCF’s letter to Neighborhood Security Initiative. News from @stateofstlouis.bsky.social who covers #TaxingDistrictsSTL /1

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

This is not a normal person 👇

DOGE is the biggest “great idea, awful execution” effort we may have ever seen. Amateur emails to millions of employees from 20-year-olds… riddled with conflicts of interest… critical nuclear experts mistakenly lumped into the cuts… and on and on. Clumsy and incompetent.

So you're a federal employee who voted for #Felon47 but you've been told your services are no longer needed: The unions are doing whatever they can to save your job. I believe they will prevail. Let what's happening to you be a lesson from the school of "we fukn told you." ☕️

President Zelenskyy: “At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising — it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.”

Under the new Trump-Putin Regime our allies are leaders who use force, fear, and even poison to hold on to power. We have abandoned the allies of good. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social on the LP Podcast: bit.ly/3EDHoCV

"A democracy becomes an oligarchy when the rich figure out how to pervert the laws for themselves...this is plain even to a blind man." - Plato, Republic - approximately 350 BC

The Eagles said “Fuck the White House. We ain’t going” Bruh…. How do you suppose to not like that team? For the one time, Go F*cking Birds

'This is so unusual to see career people resigning rather than follow the order." @weissmann11.bsky.social on top prosecutors resigning after Justice officials moved to drop Eric Adam's case. "They do that when they believe the order is illegal or unethical."

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Michael Steele gets it right!

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Stand with science. Always.

🚨BREAKING: Two attorneys with DOJ Public Integrity Section have entered appearances, and moved to dismiss the criminal indictment against Eric Adams. This stain on this once proud part of DOJ will not easily be erased.

Elizabeth isn’t hiding. She’s leading from the front:
