Trump self-enrichment
Trump revenge against his perceived enemies

50 years ago the BBC filmed this incredible documentary about a Scotsman named Big Jim who regularly rode a bicycle 22 miles through the Highlands to visit a friend. This was his 105th trip, and he got completely blitzed along the way.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

This is the pattern: ICE/CBP initiate violence toward observers and protestors, then they claim they were assaulted in order to use the threat of prison to silence dissent.
