In the end, DOGE will have cost us $135 billion to rehire fired workers, $21.7 billion in waste, a potential loss of more than $500 billion in tax revenue over the next 10 years and a loss of $10 billion in economic activity with the loss of programs that previously returned billions to taxpayers.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.
A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.
Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
