DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

Since the election in November …

California burns.
Arctic front.
Multiple flu strands.
Detroit floods and then freezes.
Appalachia floods.

… and not a single conservative evangelical mentions God judging the nation for its sinful policies and culture against the oppressed.

So weird, right?!

NEW: “The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed.”

Because who cares about accountability in law enforcement, amirite?

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why.

How has Trump responded?

By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.

Can someone please tell Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer that they need to go to a zone defense? Split into three groups, one to respond to economic crap, one for federal workforce, and one for Musk. That way they won’t get lost in the blizzard of bullshit.

"Firing *every single federal employee* would save a whopping 5 percent of the budget. But the point of this isn’t reducing the national debt. It’s striking fear into the federal workforce in order to make them more compliant."
Be Not Afraid
Trump and MAGA want to frighten you. Don't let them.
