Yayess and amen.

This is what MAGA put in the Oval Office. #DOGE, sic on this waste. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Homeland Security has now budgeted as much as $200 million on anti-immigrant ads — and the first round of them make clear his administration intends to use this immense amount of public money to very specifically promote Trump. Here you go: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... #DOGE

#WIPSnips word of the day, "money":

"For the week, the S&P 500 is about 1.6% lower, while the Dow and Nasdaq have lost 2.5% and 2.4%, respectively." From: www.nbcnews.com/business/mar... If you voted for this you need to be part of the active solution.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

With all the awful things going on in the White House these days, I just had to get away and get dose of calm, wholesome fun - the Paddington in Peru movie. So sweet, so well-done, great sets and costumes and turns of event. Ahhh.

We taxpayers paid $151 MILLION for his golfing from 2016 to 2020. #DOGE, here you go.

Well this seems pretty fucking problematic

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.

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.

@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."

FYI. Keep this on your radar.
