DOGE staffer Marko Elez was linked to a now-deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” & wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." Elez has just resigned. However he already had access to the Treasury Dept database..

These kids and Muskolini didn't "shut down" USAID and they didn't "take care of" OPM/Treasury Dept, they illegally broke into a secure facility on a weekend when hardly anyone was there, hijacked sensitive data on US citizens/businesses, destroyed govt property, and unlawfully fired Americans.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Musk needs to face prison time for illegally accessing everyone’s social security numbers. Call your district attorneys and reps, demand action be taken.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

In the mid-1920s, my maternal ancestors hailed from Germany and Austria, while my paternal roots trace back to late 1800s Poland. My great-grandparents were on both sides, and my grandparents were fluent in German, French, and Polish.

Mike Johnson represents a state whose largest city was built below sea level behind levees sandwiched between the ocean and a massive river on hurricane alley, but he doesn’t want to give aid to CA because their policies invite natural disasters.

An Iron Dome for the U.S.? Give me a break. Israel’s system works because their country’s the size of New Jersey. For the U.S., we’d need 24,700 batteries at $100 million each, $2.47 trillion total. And it wouldn’t even stop long-range threats like ICBMs.
