In case someone wants to share their thoughts lol
I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE.

Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!?

SCOOP: The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position. “I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” she said.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.

I'm adding:
- All of our govt financial systems will be consolidated and running through the bank of X
-Our personal data that has now been stolen will be put onto devices from his Nerolink company & will be the only way to do financials. The doge coin & other crypto will also be a part of it.
My predictions for next 4 years:
-we will b attacked on our own soil
-citizens attacking other citizens physically or by other means will escalate
-we will have a few big earthquakes & eruptions
-free speech will continue 2 deteriorate
-we will b at war w/several former allies

I've been brainstorming trying 2 figure out why some of these govt things that don't make sense r being done. I think I know why the attempts w/buyouts on ATCs, getting rid of FCC, etc. plus the data collection. Cause how will they be replaced? Well... (Con't)

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

The dude hopping up to yield extra time so AOC can finish her remarks? That's the only energy I'll be accepting from men going forward.
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

How does attempting to end the constitutional right to citizenship, denying trans people exist, pardoning rioters who attacked cops, banning diversity, equity, and inclusion, or creating chaos for federal workers make a dozen eggs cheaper for American families?

A very important reminder. ICE can't go inside a house without the permission of someone there. Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants.
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.
