I don’t care if I asked the right question at the very outset.

Though I am mildly concerned that it takes an entire country to screw in a lightbulb.
DOGE should submit its own paper to Nature about Musk's quantum superposition as both DOGE administrator and not

Care to comment White House Press Secretary?
We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

A basic problem with the premise of DOGE:

"The ability to write code, however, is of no use at all, because the fraud and waste are not in the code."

Are they even writing code? I'm looking for changes to open source gov software by DOGE and coming up short

Can some please define Trump Derangement Syndrome for me?

It seems like those closest to him and MAGA suffer from this awful illness.

Well, why would Trump and his cabinet be mentally unwell?

Could it perhaps be something they did or said in order to get elected?

Donald Trump has turned comms culture of the federal government into his pet Miss America pageant.

Expanded criteria.

I wonder what George Washington would wear.

Waste, fraud and abuse? How much waste of taxpayer dollars by signing illegal executive orders that require expensive legal action? Questioning an election result for 4 years. Fraud? Sending innocent residents to foreign prisons. Abuse?

Or deport them to Greenland!

Divorces are messy. But a marriage in which your spouse isn't clear about protecting you from a serial killer - a serial killer which your spouse also has lots of phone calls with - is not a "good deal".
The Trump administration makes clear that ongoing US policy isn't simply about the F35. Depriving 🇺🇦 of IMINT & ISR, withholding ECMs from 🇺🇦 F-16s, blocking Gripen sales to Colombia...tend to indicate that it's unwise to rely on Patriot if you can produce SAMP T or on Starlink if Eutelsat can do it
We need to slow down this rush to decouple from us mil tech. Focus on only f35 misguided. Lots of eur industrial participation. 2) nasam, patriot, standard missiles on frigates, p-8: lots of us mil tech. Us industrial interests huge. Provides Leverage

Curious that all the places Trump wants to annex would be geographically convenient for a Russian partner in annexation.

Was this policy written by a weapons manufacturer? A casket production facility?
Trump apparently asked what steps he could take to increase the risk of war through miscalculation. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Why is it that every time Trump speaks, half of America vomits and the other half has self induced collective amnesia?

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.

Medicaid covers...

-40% of births nationwide
-50% of kids with special needs
-72 million people in total

Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.
