Sorry, 63 million Medicaid recipients,

Elon Musk needs another rocket and Peter Thiel needs a seventh yacht.

Priorities, amirite?

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...
Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN
Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

Yes, making Trump unimportant means making America unimportant to the world.

A hefty price but it must be paid to stop the spread of our cancer.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is a classic example. They will decimate NASA. Their companies will take over, forcing us to fund all their space exploration vanity projects, pocketing billions in the process.

Apply this scam to most federal agencies...FAA, TSA, FEMA, the Dept of Education, Defense, infrastructure etc.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down.

The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape.

Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

It's really this simple, folks.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
