It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.
Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

🚨 BREAKING: SPENDING SOARS IN TRUMP'S 100 DAYS
Trump promised to cut SPENDING. Then blew through $220 billion more in his first 100 days than the same period under Joe Biden, according to official records.
But sure, he’s “fiscally responsible.” Where the hell is DOGE when you need it?

Raising the income cap on Social Security taxes could fix up to 73% of its funding gap—without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age. Tax millionaires fairly, protect working families. #SocialSecurity #FairShare #MuskMyth

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
