This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

I started a mental list of nations and their peoples to whom I feel I owe an abject apology on behalf of my own. And then I thought it would be easier and quicker to list those nations to whom no apology is owed, up until now.

A closer look at federal records shows Musk’s claims are vastly overstated, and the $55 billion figure lacks any real documentation. Share to help stop the spread of misinformation.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Trump has granted Musk even more power to reshape the federal government by signing an executive order requiring agencies to cooperate with Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce their workforces and limit hiring replacements.

Like most of the country, I was a public school kid. Donald Trump is openly coming after funding for public schools. He wants to abolish the Department of Education.
More proof that he doesn’t give a damn about working families.
