This is a great illustration of why wholly unqualified extremists shouldn't be running essential government agencies.
MURRAY: It was due last week. By law.
PATEL: I understand.
MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline?
PATEL: No
MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?

File this under there ought to be a law, because there really should be. If you can make laws at a national level, your portfolio should go into a blind trust until you're out of office. I don't understand why this isn't already a thing.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I sincerely hope Trump isn’t trying to end the war in Ukraine the way he “ended” the war in Gaza—“Sure, Vlad, take whatever you, kick out anyone you don’t like!”

I wonder how many of the people defending Musk and his DOGE Bros combing through their personal information would be comfortable with George Soros and, I dunno, a few “Antifa” kids doing the same thing, because both options are totally unacceptable.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Just in case you wondered where the GOP loyalties lie—it’s not with their constituents who may get cancer or the children who might have developmental issues as a result of PFAS in the water. It’s with the corporations who might be held responsible for their actions.
