DOGE is not really gone, itโ€™s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE โ€˜endingโ€™ as a โ€˜win.โ€™ Itโ€™s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Donโ€™t fall for the clickbait.

A failure, if you don't count the trove of purloined personal data on millions of Americans now in the hands of Musk's cabal. Please investigate the chains of custody.

Someday when I have the time, I will sit down with one of these calls and see how long I can play the hapless rube and string them along through the pitch.

As your constituent, I urge you to work with your colleagues to solve the Chuck Schumer problem. Please elect a more effective leader for the Democratic caucus.

Demand better leadership!

Russell Vought, Trumpโ€™s Shadow President From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trumpโ€™s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that inside...

According to court records, interviews & other accounts from people close to Vought, DOGEโ€™s efforts were guided, more than was previously known, by the OMB director. Musk bragged about feeding USAID into the wood chipper, but the details of the agencyโ€™s downsizing were ironed out by Voughtโ€™s office.

This is a bs way for Trump to bypass a declaration of war.

Technically it's a way to just justify the aggression around all the legal aspects of international law.

Trump and Hegseth aren't smart enough to know this.

Whoever is pulling the strings here, that's whose hands are on Venezuela.

When a Dem is in the Oval Office, Iโ€™d suggest an immediate appointment of DOJ/Speial Counsel to charge each and every person with dirty hands in the corruption, violations of law, from the top on down. On day one and for however long it takes.

Failed to cut waste fraud and abuse, maybe, but that wasn't their objective. DOGE's objective was to collect government data and they were hugely successful in that.

I just feel we need to keep saying, over and over, that the problem with DOGE was not its failure to cut spending. the problem with DOGE is that it CUT GLOBAL AID LEADING TO THE DEATHS OF 600K PEOPLE AND COUNTING. 1

Donโ€™t do this, you guys. The enormous pile of dead bodies, and small but still massive of dead careers, would point to the opposite being true: DOGE was a massive financial and political boon to Elon Musk and it paid off marvelously for him at horrendous cost.

DOGE has been out of the headlines for a while, but, since they are once more claiming not to exist, it's good to remember what DOGE is and that everyone involved ought to go on trial.

#DOGE is dead ๐Ÿ™Œ We drove Elon out of Washington early, and we should celebrate that. But when you look at his real mission (hint, not cost savings) it's clear that he got a lot of what he wanted. Now he's back in Trump's good graces, and we need to finish the job. #TeslaTakedown

DOGE days are over as Trump disbands Elon Musk's team of federal cost-cutters | TechCrunch DOGE members are reportedly worried that they could face prosecution for some of their activities conducted while under the leadership of Elon Musk.

Several DOGE staffers are said to be fearful that they could face future federal charges without protections from Musk, who might have been able to secure presidential pardons for them if necessary.

Ukraine says it's investigating over 178,000 war crimes amid Trump peace plan talks U.S. and Ukrainian officials are discussing Trump's peace proposal that includes accepting amnesty for Russians accused of war crimes.

The number of war crime investigations open in Ukraine at the beginning of the fall was 178,391, Kyiv's top prosecutor told CBS' "60 Minutes" in a program airing this evening.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

One of the greatest hazards we have as a republic is having SS Miller, an unelected official, assuming the powers of the Commander-in-Chief and acting as the shadow president. I donโ€™t care how but he MUST be removed!

They don't stop at calling the US a Republic (correctly), they try to pretend that a Republic isn't a Democracy. They redefine "democracy" as only direct democracy and call it "mob rule"

A federal judge didnโ€™t โ€œstealโ€ the Commander-in-Chiefโ€™s powersโ€”she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isnโ€™t judicial review, but officials who insist theyโ€™re above it.
