Question for D.O.G.E.
Would triggering a global recession with 100 days of tariff “pump fakes” while simultaneously commenting on how much money is being made opportunistically as a result be considered fraud, waste or abuse? Asking for a nation feeling all three at the moment.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.
The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.
His approval ratings are tanking.
He does not have a mandate.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.
He's not.

If you think mass protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s.

Say it louder 📣
Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much:
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world.
It's obvious to all of us.

Washington state? California? Make it a whole west coast thing?
Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters *right now* that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington.
Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.
Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.
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.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

Maintaining hope
Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
