Perhaps Trump should have just left the nation’s Inspector Generals, the professionals charged with finding waste & fraud, in place instead of firing many of them. DOGE is not a sophisticated strike force joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

In this time of distress, grief, anger, despair, as you figure out your own ways to fight back, don’t forget to take the time to recharge. Find joy in friends, in creative endeavors, in art, nature, a meal. Smile. Laugh. Find comfort. For even brief moments. Share the love.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Many federal government employees were dismissed over the holiday weekend as managers confronted a Trump administration demand to fire workers by Tuesday.

In group texts and in online forums, they dubbed the error-ridden run of firings the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.”

Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent.

This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees.

Same DOGE is requiring.

NEW: As legal challenges to DOGE mount, the White House claims Elon Musk is not technically in charge of the effort and has no decision-making power.

That contradicts Trump/Musk's own public portrayal. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:

Congress must immediately act.

That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
