Hi, I'm God.

I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone.

Fuck you, Donold.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Happy for the individuals but the whole, "you get a Secret Service badge," "you get to go to West Point" vibe is cringe. He's supposed to be a president, not a carnival barker.

BREAKING: Ontario’s terminating its $100-million deal with Starlink, and US companies will be barred from future contracts.

They warned NY, Michigan, and Minnesota if the tariffs persist, Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity and may cut off the supply entirely.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries
Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

Today, around ten thousand people gathered at Tesla showrooms across 50 states and internationally to protest Elon Musk (DOGE). We encourage everyone to join again next Saturday, March 8th, with more events planned.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Friendly reminder that, at any time, you can say, “I’m done supporting this.” Look around, MAGA—the whole world is standing behind someone, and it’s not your king.

BREAKING: Trump and US officials kicked President Zelensky out of the White House and said he is not welcome back.

This is a dark moment for America and our allies, and a victory for Putin, delivered on a gold platter
by Trump.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.
