How can you tell that Trump and Musk don’t actually care about going after waste and fraud? They just fired someone at the Minnesota VA whose job was to find waste/inefficiencies to save taxpayer money.
It’s all a façade to shell out more money for billionaires and big corporations.

@marawilson.bsky.social My daughter Verity at #gally1. We showed her Matilda 3 months ago. Verity had issues with independence and confidence. Matilda doing so much so young inspired Verity; she told us she wanted to be like Matilda and be independent. She has and it’s been amazing. Thanks!

We had two friends and their families leave Florida because of all the culture shit Ron was doing too! One moved his whole family there for a job at FSU. Packed up and got the fuck out. It's terrible.
Look out... Florida had its largest drop in net migration in over a decade. Young people especially are leaving. the inability to ensure (or insure) that your home will remain standing is probably a major factor.

FYI, folks from Bluesky. Workers at The Barn, among other agricultural buildings, are now shutting the door after the horse got out. Shutting the door, telling people the door is shut, is a form of accountability for the horse that’s now completely free.
