Love this. It should not be limited to this term. But it’s a great step forward.

Now @khanna.house.gov and other house members need to make the media tour , including Fox News, to talk about it

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

This is fascism.

There actually are people in corporate America who could offer something to government. There's, like, people at Walmart responsible for fresh tomato logistics who are pretty good at making complex systems work.

But everyone at DOGE is "details are beneath me, I just blather to gullible investors."

Hands Off My Medicaid

Elon is lying. Not only does the Social Security Administration use SQL, the agency has an entire IT division dedicated to database operations. The SSA's entire Master Files index runs directly on DB2.

DON'T PLAY POLITICS
WITH OUR HEALTH CARE!
STOP THE CUTS TO MEDICAID!

Medicaid is a lifeline for 80+ million Americans: children, people in nursing homes & those living with a disability & chronic illness.

So money already appropriated and granted for SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare and Head Start can be cancelled, but not the $137k for new drapes and things for Pete Hegseth’s government-provided house.

At some point, and hopefully soon, the national guard will need to be called in to arrest the capitol security police who are enforcing illegal EOs.
