Bad math. The costs far exceed the savings. Therefore there are no savings. Combine that with the disruption of vital services and DOGE has been an unmitigated disaster and complete failure.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

True facts are true

Wickedly savage. 🤣

Tragically true. 😩

Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women around the world.

Are Trump's tariffs already backfiring?

Has DOGE's credibility been permanently shot?

The foundation of democracy is not voting, essential as it is, it is an informed citizenry. That is why one of the paramount jobs of autocrats is to attack education, free thought, ideas, speech, knowledge & facts themselves. And that is just what Trump, Musk and MAGA are doing. Everywhere you look.

I sometimes dress as nuts as possible on purpose when I don’t want any interaction with strangers. Seems to work. I might do an anti maggot wardrobe with Ukraine colors. 🇺🇦

Chaos erupts b/t Trump's cabinet and Musk. New reporting from the NY Times:

- Rubio, furious over Musk’s cuts to his agency, fired back after Musk mocked him: “You have fired nobody.” Rubio countered that over 1,500 State Department officials had taken early retirements, accusing Musk of lying.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Enjoy your resting! And thank you for all your efforts 💙

More of this! We all know this won’t pass but this is a line in the sand and a great talking point.

The opposite of woke is asleep. And that is what Trump and MAGA want the American people to be. Asleep. Unconscious. Oblivious to the crimes, corruption, abuses, betrayals, and traitorousness of their regime. They know the only way they can wield power is in a brain dead America. It's their #1 goal.

Please consider carefully how much of your time, energy, emotional labor you give away to MAGAs in an effort to midwife their awakening. It's not your job to save them. How could those resources be more effectively spent in pursuit of your liberty? Stop Trying to "Beauty and The Beast" with MAGA:

Trump Posted 14 Times About His Daytona 500 Trip, Nothing About Multi-State Flooding An indifferent Trump was chauffeured around the racetrack as Kentucky mourned 8 deaths including a mom and her 7 year old child

Trump posted 14 times about his Daytona 500 trip—but not once about the deadly flooding in multiple states.

When you think of the crooks, conmen and hacks to be NYC mayor, Eric Adams being the very worst of them by a mile is really quite an achievement.

🚨 Trump reiterates his “reciprocal tariff” policy, stating the U.S. will impose the same tariffs that other countries place on American goods. He argues this will create a “level playing field” by targeting VAT systems, subsidies, and trade restrictions that disadvantage U.S. businesses. Full post ⬇️

Had the worst panic attack of my life last night. I haven’t had one since the pandemic started I think.
