NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:
Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
DOGE Claims It Has Saved Billions. See Where.
A WSJ analysis of government data found that many claims of savings were overstated and “woke” cuts were only a tiny fraction of the total.

Today, Trump & Musk are firing air traffic safety workers, people who keep nuclear plants safe & scientists who respond to bird flu.
We’re all less safe as a result.

I don’t like that the president is posting to his fake social media app that he isn’t breaking any laws if he “saves” America

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.
