Not to worry folks, DOGE operatives are now asking for access to your individual tax returns ... www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I probably should do something else besides laugh for a minute straight at the Trump administration firing the workers who manage the nuclear stockpile and being unable to figure out how to rehire them, but that's all i got right now

I’m really wondering how much to attribute to malice & how much to mind-blowing incompetence

Working families should not pay for another round of Trump tax breaks for billionaires & large corporations, but that's what Republicans are proposing. I introduced an amendment to protect tax dollars & vital lifelines like Medicare, Social Security and other support millions of Americans rely on.

Imagine willfully giving your banking info to a guy who just showed us that he can control every aspect of a car (including sharing camera footage with government officials) he doesn't own that you bought from his company

The level of cruelty in this scapegoating of the GOP's chosen scapegoats is NOT the USA I want to see - EVER.

As American journalists start writing about the Nazi salute that Elon Musk just gave twice on camera, it's essential that they contextualize it for readers as part of a years-long course of publicly embracing antisemitic politicians and causes.
