When DOGE decides to terminate consulting contracts, they are only looking at the project description. One of our contracts was terminated because it said we would be “working with a diverse group of stakeholders”. Guess what ‘woke’ keyword triggered the cancellation. These guys are idiots.

The customer experience part of the $3.5M contract was mine. I’m sure DOGE only read the sentence they quoted and didn’t bother to find out about the efficiencies and cost savings created from our effort. Such smug d-bags.

DOGE just terminated my consulting project where we made processes more efficient and reduced costs. No one will ever be able to tell me their effort is about increasing efficiency.
Their goal is to blow the whole thing up to permanently govern under MAGA rules and only MAGA rules.

Either Trump truly thinks transgender and transgenic are the same, or he is intentionally revving up the outrage machine for the base.

What is the end game here? Is all of this so Trump can build his precious Trump Moscow hotel?
Putin clearly has conditions and we are seeing them being played out. Trash NATO countries, scold Zelenskyy, and hey, let’s share Greenland.

Chris Rock once described Hollywood as being “sorority racist”. He said it’s subtle, like a black girl going through sorority recruiting. “We like you, we just don’t think you’re Kappa material.”
And that, in a nutshell, is why DEI is important. It’s about all of us understanding our biases.

vanhollen.senate.gov out here speaking my language of common sense and kindness, and lack thereof.
The Trump Administration unleashing fears of ICE raids at schools and churches does nothing to secure the border or keep communities safe.
What it does is keep kids out of school, terrify innocent families, and create an environment of fear and distrust.
It's cruelty over common sense.

Trump and his MAGA political minions are only interested in scaring Americans into believing their terrible lot in life is because of what “others” are doing to them.
Unfortunately, many Americans also believe that means the GOP will help them, even though they will never have a plan to help them.

Hungary is Trump’s blueprint. Orbán is his inspiration.
Trump won’t overthrow democracy by military force, but through control of media and the courts (already happening) and going after civil servants and his enemies (which he has promised to do).
We are the frog in boiling water.

Mike Johnson talks about “mistakes” and “dereliction of duty” related to the LA fires, and making aid conditional.
His carefully calculated response is viewed by MAGA as confident intelligence. But really it’s just disingenuous, cruel, and miles away from the Christ he likes to say he follows.

Democratic politicians are not great at taking credit for positive outcomes they are responsible for. Republican politicians are great at taking credit for positive outcomes they had nothing to do with.

Jessica Tarlov goes into the lion’s den and does the Lord’s work. Whatever she’s paid, it’s not nearly enough.
Jessica: You are telling me that in the last year where we have gotten out over 700,000 people which is the most that we have deported since the year 2010, record seizures of drugs that are supposed to be coming across the border, that this is a wide open border?

Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) uses common sense.

In 2015, Steve Bannon knew he had to keep the issues very simple for Trump to understand. “Build a wall to keep illegals out”.
When you’re dealing with someone with a 200-word vocabulary, these are the tactics you use. But what does that say about our electorate?

With Russians financing Trump’s debt and his continued desire to build a tower in Moscow, Putin has had Trump right where he wants him for quite some time.
Putin: “Destabilize NATO”.
Trump: “Yes, sir.”
Putin: “Tell everyone your intelligence agencies are corrupt.”

For countries like Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and many others, caring for people is built into the fabric of those societies. Not so for the US.
We are built on a look-out-for-yourself mentality. Things like masking up in a pandemic or making sure kids are fed are tragically controversial.

Fox doesn’t care that they’re lying to their audience on a daily basis. It’s about money, not the truth. It’s about scaring people.
It’s never, ever about how great Republicans are because they have no good ideas for making our country better.

This is exactly right! The old ways don’t work anymore.
And we need to hammer on correcting GOP lies that have been told so often that too many take them as fact (e.g., vaccines are bad for you, tariffs will help us, illegal immigrants commit a high rate of crime, the 2020 election was stolen).

How do Dems build up their own alternate media? By having elected officials DO INTERVIEWS with them that end up getting clipped and played on networks. Like ours on Fox tonight. My 1st question for every elected Dem: How many podcast interviews did you do this month?

Biden should preemptively pardon the January 6 committee and say, “I am pardoning them not because they are guilty, they clearly are not. I simply do not trust Trump, Kash Patel, and the Republican activist judges who might be involved in this ridiculousness to do the legal and right thing.”

Republicans want the government out of our lives but want to tell a woman what to do with her body. They want to ban books, and require prayer in schools. All driven by fundamentalist Christians.
The hypocrisy and pseudo-Christianity is maddening, and as usual, makes no sense.
