Check out the innocuous way they describe our disgrace on the WaPo front page.

They've become journalistic toilet paper virtually overnight.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

I envy the Romanians.

They knew what to do with their Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate.
The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

Elon Musk grew up in a place where tyranny of the minority was considered "democratic" rule.

It enriched his family and set him on a path to ruin the world.

He has no intentions of letting democracy survive in America.

Any media outlet hanging on to a shred of journalistic timber should televise these hearings.
Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

In the SDNY we called them "deceased payee cases" in which a deceased person's SS checks continued to be cashed by a family member. It wasn't a common crime years ago & it's less common now w/ better death reporting. Liar/lunatic #ElmoMagalomaniac exaggerates/misinterprets the data of course.
