'Absolute chaos': DOGE sows turmoil in its quest for 'efficiency' Federal workers say Elon Musk's slash-and-burn approach to the federal government is making the bureaucracy less efficient and driving away some talented people.

VA official says it's "absolute chaos" there. Even Trump appointees are afraid to act out of fear of angering the public or the White House.

"It's leading to paralysis. ... The best employees are starting to look elsewhere. I can't overemphasize that enough."

I don't see how a lawsuit even matters at this point! Does anyone actually think a court telling them to stop what they're doing will actually get them to stop? This is nothing less than a constitutional crisis and until the Republicans step up, nothing good is going to happen.

Help me understand what effect any of these lawsuits will have? I don't see an enforcement mechanism; the GOP has given no indication that they are even concerned with these actions. The only thing I see on the horizon is a constitutional crisis. I think the democracy ship has sailed!

If there's any consolation to this travesty of justice, we might get to see Jack Smith's report on the classified docs case, though it will likely take time and be a FOIA request.

Just another instance of the Democrats controlling the weather ๐Ÿคก

Property and casualty insurers should not be lumped into the same basket as medical insurance companies. The P&C companies that are exiting markets are doing so because the markets are not economically viable due to conditions beyond their control and they can't charge enough to remain profitable.

It's so appropriate!

MAGA, because he didn't do it the first time?!

Trump comes out in favor of the H-1B visa program, saying he has many H-1B workers on his properties. Pretty sure the program is not designed for wealthy resort owners to staff their properties with hospitality workers!

The unmasking of the low information voters should not be a surprise, they will reap what they voted for. The bigger challenge going forward is how to help them understand the issues of the day so we all don't suffer their foolishness in the future.

I actually look forward to the circus that is the current incarnation of the Republican party. They will collectively fail as there is no leadership.

If nothing else, the network should be called out for what it is and marginalized to limit the damage it does to society.

Not to worry, everything and everyone that trump touches turns to shit! He thinks he has a mandate, so will make even more stupid decisions than we thought imaginable.

He's just a total shit show, he may succeed in bringing the country to its knees as he is The Swamp!

On one hand, I'd kinda like to see all his nominations get confirmed, as bad as they are. Then, when it all hits the fan, we just sit back and watch the show.

Trump is just setting the bar, when the Gaetz nomination gets derailed, he'll nominate someone as equally unqualified and repulsive. He's normalizing the unacceptable.
