I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.
How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?
Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.
Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors are rising among female high schoolers—mirroring the surge in those identifying as #LGBQ. Education policy researchers explore the link:
Teen girls are facing an increased risk of suicide − and stress related to sexual identity might be contributing to it
While more young people openly identify as LGBQ, many still face substantial challenges that can contribute to a greater prevalence of mental health concerns.
