Having listened to @booker.senate.gov, I'm speechless -- not just because he used more words in 25 hours than I utter in a year. It's the content of his heart, the expression of genuine faith ... my words are inadequate unless I can persuade you to listen to him. He is a patriot; he is inspiring.

@paulapoundstone.bsky.social forgive the intrusion but wanted to share a "medical mystery" published in yesterday's WaPo: "“Her dry cough was her anginal equivalent,” [also, insert joke here] Kamath said. “Constance was a ticking time bomb. She could have just dropped dead suddenly.” wapo.st/41fsKt8

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American.
Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings.
Enjoy your $4.29.

DOGE removed the screenshot that showed the mismatch, but continued to claim $8 billion in savings.
DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was Actually $8 Million.

"Here’s the essence of Trumpism: It’s to be blithely unconcerned that people without a college degree die about eight years sooner or that hundreds of thousands of Africans might now die of AIDS but to go into paroxysms of moral panic because of who competes in a high school girls’ swim meet."
Opinion | Trump Is No Populist
Trumpism is not a working-class revolt against the elites. All I see is one section of the educated elite going after another section of the educated elite.
