Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

DOGE has definitely put a dent in government functioning, but not so much on spending, at least not yet.

Before DOGE, Elon Musk was a prime example of how government investment can spur innovation — Tesla thrived on govt support.

Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful.
Most Americans don't support his agenda.
There will be backlash — and we must make sure it is swift.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Army Choir surrounded the MAGA hierarchy dining in White House East Room to sing "Do You Hear The People Sing"
It was lost on Trump but Vance was super fidgety

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
