NEW: The Trump admin is eliminating entire federal offices that were already working to make the government more efficient. I spoke with a Minnesota data scientist who until recently worked for one of them. minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/26/t...

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order.

And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

It's not just one instance of a billion being only a million: "DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes," a team of New York Times reporters found. The figures are "full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

"In his first term, Trump failed to build a wall. He failed to marshal the resources from Congress, failed to gain a consensus of American opinion and failed at everything administrations do in a democracy to advance policy."

I had to confirm these for myself. Here are Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff and the official White House account running with Trump's earlier post referring to himself as king. Famously, the United States of America fought a war over not wanting to be ruled by a king.
