Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government.
Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it.
But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics.
None of this is about waste and fraud.

Sadly, Kentucky has had the first death of a child to the flu this season. My heart breaks for this family. Let’s do everything we can to stay healthy - vaccines are the best way to protect yourself and your children.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out
FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.
Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.

Certainly all the people who were up in arms about Biden not visiting North Carolina immediately will criticize the president’s “fuck you not my problem” attitude to disasters now
Trump: "We're looking at the whole concept of FEMA. I like, frankly, the concept when North Carolina gets hit, the governor takes care of it. When Florida gets hit, the governor takes care of it. Meaning the state takes care of it ... I'd like to see the states take care of disasters."

Many sudden and shocking health care developments this week. But this was a big one: The Trump administration on Friday paused funding for PEPFAR, the famed program to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.

Amazon, Meta, and Google donated millions to Trump's inauguration. Why?
Collectively they'll gain an annual tax cut worth $7.4 billion if Trump lowers the corporate tax rate.
They're also facing major antitrust lawsuits for abusing their market power.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.
Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.
How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.
