Where is all the government and personal data that that DOGE’s Musketeers swept up and possibly walked off with? The public is owed an accounting.

Musk says DOGE was only "somewhat successful," wouldn't do it again
Musk spearheaded mass cuts in federal spending and government jobs at DOGE before leaving the Trump administration in May.

POLITICO: Do you believe the second strike was necessary?

TRUMP: Uhhhh. Well it looked like they were trying to turn back over the boat. But I don't get involved in that. That's up to them.

This is fascinating: Trump is, of course, Commander-in-Chief of all the U.S. Armed Forces, and newscycles of past presidents likely would've drilled that home.

But Trump has also, of course, repeatedly and successfully distanced himself from scandals that would've tanked other presidencies.

"Now that I've hit everyone with ruinous taxes, I'll dole some of it back out to my political supporters as welfare payments."
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

A ridiculous coda to this story: A USTA source tells me that Trump wanted to hand out the trophy to the winner of the US Open men's final but the organizers said no and compromised by displaying the trophy on the balcony of the Rolex suite where he was sitting.
NEW — I wrote about attending the US Open with Trump in attendance, and what the tepid reaction to a fascist at a sporting event says about this country.
Why I had to see Trump at the US Open with my own eyes
Staring straight across the court at a fascist is bad for the soul, but certainly instructive.

Trump hasn’t lowered inflation. If anything, he’s raised it.

Despite his Wharton education, Trump can’t do basic math — he continuously insists that prices can drop more than 100%, which is impossible.

As a reminder: The USIP building was raided and taken over by DOGE (with assistance from federal and local law enforcement) despite being an independent agency and owner of the building. Litigation is ongoing, but Trump does not own this building.

This is domestic terrorism, plain and simple. Black and Brown people are under attack in the United States.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen—I.C.E. DOES NOT CARE and have been instructed as much.

This all ends very, very horrifically.

Not that it matters or is the biggest problem with this gutter trash, but still: Ilhan Omar was elected by a district that's 60% white and only 3% Somali-American.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Especially for the racist trash talk, but I think even more generally people see Omar, and hear that Minneapolis has the country's biggest Somali community, and assume that must be a substantial chunk of her voters. The numerical reality is nowhere close to that, there just aren't that many of them.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.
