Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS.
(Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true?
BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country
Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime?
BONDI: *leaves*

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well?

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

If a waiter brings you a choice of 💩 sandwiches, do you eat the one that smells less bad? No, you raise holy hell that they’re offering you 💩 sandwiches in the first place & tell the waiter to get you a new menu even if it means waiting longer for dinner.
