We need a LOT more of this. If our representatives don't start standing up and speaking out, it will be too late.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which disburses funds to PBS and NPR stations, gets $535 million a year in federal funding. So any official who seriously wanted to achieve billions in cost savings would start elsewhere – like the $874 billion spent on national defense.

Apparently there’s a β€œkickoff” meeting between the DOGE people and Department of Labor management planned for tomorrow at 4pm ET.

Unrelatedly, the Frances Perkins Building that houses the Dept of Labor is located at 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210.

Never overlook the fact that Facebook and Twitter ditching fact-checkers is not just a way to shamelessly curry favor with the disinformation-friendly incoming administration, it is also a way to save money and further line the pockets of the oligarchs who own those companies.
