There is already evidence, just a day after the hearing, calling into question representations by the government’s lawyers that DOGE access at Treasury was “read only” and that the point was merely to conduct an “audit.” These bozos left an electronic trail of their intent.

There’s a big lawsuit everyone should know about. It’s the one that could boot Elon Musk and the DOGE dudes out of Treasury and kill their access to our payment systems. Learn about it in my write-up: https://buff.ly/4jMI4pO

Hey. Here are the names of the unauthorized dudes who are creeping into government computers:

The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

These are the DOGE boys.

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

"Under heavy pressure from the right, and with the help of Elon Musk, the leading tech platforms opened the floodgates for propaganda to spread unchecked. The result was a flood of lies and distortions...that led to possibly the most misinformed electorate we’ve ever seen."

This election was never about the price of eggs or gas Whip Clark (D-MA). It’s always been about culture wars that protect white fragility. They hate everyone, that aren’t like them and they won the message. Until we adopt negative partisanship into our messaging, we won’t win again. #DemVoice1

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

Shame on every journalist that amplified Trump's Project 2025 denials- especially the fact checkers that took Democrats to task on this topic. You all knew Trump was lying to mislead & confuse voters and now there are at least 3 P2025 authors in the Trump admin.
