Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

What DOGE is doing doesn’t meaningfully reduce govt spending and it in no way improves efficiency. What it does is weaken America and strengthen our enemies. It is time to focus on why that is the goal of Musk and Trump. Why is damaging the US their primary goal?

With all due respect to armed security guards (they are extremely important and valuable to securing buildings) I don't see them having ANY AUTHORITY to impede a member of congress. They don't even have arrest authority.
We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

The thing I want to ask Trump supporters is this:
How would you feel if a random 22 year old kid asked you for all your personal information. Would you hand it over? Would you be okay when he just took it? Because Musk has allowed that to happen.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
