I’m not a Colbert or Kimmel stan, but I am a ride-or-die for free speech. Once it’s gone, it doesn’t come back in four years—it becomes a story we tell our kids, like “baloney used to be 25¢ a pound… and I used to have free speech.”

At this point it's not even just that they're lying, it's that the lies are so insultingly obvious. This is up there with "no, the details of an imminent airstrike weren't classified" and "we have no way of getting abductees back from the guy we're paying to house them."

This has always been an obvious problem with their slapdash approach. You can temporarily “save money” on paper by deciding to randomly stop paying bills. But if it turns out you needed some of that stuff, it’s ultimately going to be more expensive.
NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

Nothing will ever be the same. There will need to be a lot of soul searching and new guardrails placed to strengthen any democracy we have remaining.
I appreciate what this is trying to do but I doubt that he peacefully leaves at the end of his term and I doubt that the rest of the governmental infrastructure can survive until we find out and I don't think "we have to survive 3.5 years and then we'll be fine" is correct politically or morally

That office is a SCIF, the windows even have RF shielding films and mesh, a wifi signal won’t penetrate it. And you can’t exactly call Comcast to install a line, so if he had a “dirty” line, it’s Starlink.
