We have strict taxpayer data protection laws for a reason. No executive orders or billionaires are above those laws. And this situation could delay tax refunds—devastating millions of Americans who plan their budgets around timely refunds.

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

I certainly don't always agree with Rick Wilson, but in this 16-minute interview the points he makes are spot on. Great advice for Dems: Don't talk policy at all. Instead talk about pain, chaos & destruction caused by Musk & Trump. (By the end of the year we'll be well into the 2026 election cycle.)

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the Resolute Desk has been temporarily removed from the Oval Office to be “refinished,” a touch-up that occurred just days after Elon Musk’s son seemingly picked his nose and wiped it on the historic piece of furniture.

It’s no longer the House budget. It’s the Trump budget, now that Trump has endorsed it, and since the Administration hasn’t submitted its own budget. So we should call the House budget the Trump budget. And we can talk about Trump’s cuts to important programs and Trump’s broken campaign promises.

Another day another plane crash with an Under funded under staffed Trump FAA. Their mass-firings are costing lives. Also if this happened last year, Pete Buttigieg would have been hauled in front of committees. When do we hold the Trump FAA accountable? Schumer write a weak-ass letter yet?

As the Trump administration fires hundreds of FAA workers, MAGA-man Elon Musk remains oblivious, detached from reality, and aching to be seen as “non-partisan.” The administration's mass firings have come less than three weeks after the midair collision between an American Airlines…

So if Elon isn’t a DOGE employee, then who’s running the show And-if he has no position-why is he being given ANY information about what DOGE is doing Why does he apparently have access to the most private information about people’s lives And exactly what is Congress doing about all of this
