Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

@GOP
believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt.
And they say I changed. LOL

Just a sick broken man. Every aircrew I ever lost in peacetime accidents over 22-years of service and combat were white men. It’s dangerous.

Inexcusable.
All Soldiers have experienced government shutdowns…some long, some short, but all painful.
Usually caused by politicians who can’t get get priorities straight, this time the pain to those who wear uniforms & live paycheck-to-paycheck is mostly caused by the world’s richest man.
Unforgivable.

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...
