So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

DOGE scrubbed a long-dead contract from its site—the same place it’s been posting phony “receipts” to fake success.
Do they not understand how government works, or are they lying to the public?
My opinion: These aren’t mistakes. They’re trying to dupe us.
