Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

The size of the federal workforce hasn't changed in 50 years, even while our population has greatly increased over that time. What has bloated the federal government is too many private contracts--too many people making profits off of core government functions. They are cutting the wrong thing!

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Elon Musk has now illegally fired: - USDA employees amidst a bird flu outbreak - FAA chair amid a plane crash epidemic - People in charge of protecting us from nuclear attack At this point Musk has to be considered a terrorist attacking the United States.

Bird Flu is spreading across the nation and putting the country in danger. The Trump administration response is to fire USDA microbiologists fighting the disease. We are using every tool available to us to stop them.

This idiot and Trump said there were hundreds of thousands of illegals in the country; they’ve deported approximately 8,000. So I’m guessing he’s bored and can only focus on AOC. #asshat #republicanssuck

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

Two dozen immigration judges have been fired by DOGE on Saturday. This is telling. This indicates that the detained immigrants will not see due process when deported.

Strange because he assured us that he didn’t know anything about Project 2025 during the campaign. I know because I saw media amplifying him saying so with little or no pushback. CC: @nbcnews.com, @cbsnews.com, @abcnewsgo.bsky.social, @cnn.com, @nytimes.com, @washingtonpost.com, @wsj.com

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.
