The estimated cost for *the completely unnecessary* deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles? $134 million. Cost for Trump's military parade? Around $45M.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden.
This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Oops! Trump and Musk sacked over 300 staffers at the Department of Energy, not quite grasping they took care of the nation’s nuclear stockpile. Now, they want to rehire them but can’t find them because these geniuses deleted the workers’ email and failed to obtain their new contact information.
