People say DOGE "failed", but to be fair DOGE successfully stole every American taxpayers data & personal information & had access to pretty much EVERY government system and likely shared that data with foreign entities. IDK that I'd say failed exactly, being they did everything that was intended.

On the other hand, the blatant abuse of power can energize voters as well
ICE raids are not about safety — their own data proves it. This is a political fear campaign ahead of 2026, designed to intimidate Black and Brown voters into staying home.
This is the most violent voter suppression campaign we’ve seen so far this century.
The good news? People are fighting back.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

Many thanks to our amazing Attorney General. One of the bright spots of last year was seeing NC elect him as well as our governor, secretary of state, lieutenant governor and superintendent of education!
Breaking: SNAP benefits are getting shut off next week for 16 million kids - including 600,000 in NC - because the USDA is refusing to use its $6b emergency fund.
They’re playing shutdown politics in a way that will cause a major hunger crisis - so I’m taking them to court to stop them.

The federal government is absolutely abandoning North Carolina's recovery from Hurricane Helene.
Compared to every other major climate disaster from the last 20 years, the feds are skimping on helping communities impacted by Helene get back on their feet.
