Dog as my witness, I love my wife.
How is this latest move by Taco sending Marines to LA not a flagrant violation of posse comitatus?

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers.

This is corruption.
Always call it out.

Courts have the power to review the constitutionality of presidential actions. The Supreme Court's decision in Marbury v. Madison (1803) established the principle of judicial review, which allows courts to strike down actions of the executive branch that are unconstitutional. So why haven’t they?

The most daming claim in this statement IMO:

Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created…
Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds.
Correct usernames and passwords.

2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.

Fact Check: "This is a Biden hangover.”

Trump added $2.1 trillion to the deficit. Biden then reduced it by $942 billion.

In the last 50 years, the deficit has increased by a total of $3.8 trillion under Republican presidents. Under Democrats, it’s gone down by $2.1 trillion.
Donald Trump Just Proved He’s an Economic Idiot. Again.
His MAGA sycophants knew all along that his central economic proposal was a sham, but they repeated his lies. And now the economy is cracking.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze.
I worked at an organization that
-helped veterans who have lost a limb
-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Well, I didn’t realize “Idiocracy” was a documentary. Electrolytes for the electorate.

-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut

Some populist, huh?
