Literally have been telling this dude this for a very long time. Keep up, Chuck. Also: WTF are you going to do about it?
An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

You don’t need to be an expert to know this stinks worse than a week old fish market left to rot in the sun.
Billionaire Elon Musk is tightening his control over broad swaths of the US gov't, prompting growing alarm from Democrats and constitutional scholars.

The Trump administration blamed the dismantling of USAID on its workers’ high levels of “insubordination.” Nothing like gaslighting America.

Our coalition has grown rapidly, now standing strong with over 92,000 federal employees. We are united by our oath and our commitment to hold the line. Every day, more of us are being targeted simply for speaking the truth to America.

The Kennedys built their legacy from immigrants to a dynasty—reputation is everything. If they’re all speaking out against RFK Jr., you know it’s serious. When a family that values its name warns us, we should listen. Whatever they see must be truly dangerous.
Caroline Kennedy wrote a scathing letter to senators, calling her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a “predator” addicted to attention from airing dangerous views on vaccinations and someone who is unfit to be the U.S. health secretary. nyti.ms/40Oyb3o

Well, it’s Monday, and the Inspectors General are resisting Trump’s illegal attempt to fire them with a letter saying, “Heck no, we won’t go!”

This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. News stopped bring a regulated public service & became an instrument designed to make a profit. Just that simple.
