I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Since the hardcore DNC plan is to just wait it out. What issue is going to be THE issue that MAGA voters are like: "Oh you've gone too far!"; "He tricked us!" What if there isn't one?

"Citizens United" (you know the one where corporations can spend whatever they want on politicians) is, by the way, THIS FUCKING BAD FOR THE COUNTRY. 😶

The DNC released this garbage as a PDF. It's just a text document with links. HTML exists to solve this use case. Instead of solving the problem properly, they went with the clumsiest, heaviest, least useful format possible. This perfectly captures the modern Democratic party.

Protests everywhere, and the DNC is currently workshopping slogans and typefaces for signs. "Down with King Musk" is not converting in 20-35yr/old focus groups. 😶

Forget the science education - please re-tech the American public what a "conflict of interest" is... It's not even like Musk's brother-in-law who owns a space company and gets kickbacks to his Senator. IT IS LITERALLY MUSK FIRING GOV WORKERS AND REPLACING THEM WITH WORKERS FROM HIS OWN COMPANY!!

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

The Department of Government Efficiency is ransacking multiple federal agencies, without oversight or safeguards, and EFF is glad to join the brigade of lawsuits to protect this critical information.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

The Investigatory Powers Act could prohibit companies from revealing that the UK government has ordered them to remove encryption. “That raises the real risk of false reliance on a safety feature that isn’t there,” EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @bloomberg.com.

Those weren't just words last night. Today, we're launching the Payback Project to hold Susan Collins (ME), Thom Tillis (NC), Dan Sullivan (AK), Jon Husted (OH), Joni Ernst (IA) accountable for enabling the Trump-Musk coup. indivisibleteam.medium.com/they-ignored...

The OpSec people watching doge kids just talk their way into a server room "because papa elon said so" must be maddening. Did your boss tell you to unlock the door? Did your Bosses boss? Did the director? Where's the memo saying you have to cooperate? I can't change my 2FA, but you let BigBalls in?
