In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

NEW: Someone at IRS just told me they were informed that if they accepted the Fork in the Road deferred resignation, they'd still have to work through May 15th because it's filing season.

So Musk lied. And what about filing season 2026? Are they just gonna cross that bridge when they come to it?

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.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

We have a reality tv game show host for a “president” and reality tv star for a “transportation secretary” and a morning tv “news” anchor for a “defense secretary”.

So things are going about as well as expected.

Senator Bennet was on fire at this morning's hearing.

"What's disturbing to me is that out of 330 million Americans, we're being asked to put somebody in this job who has spent 50 years of his life peddling in half-truths, peddling in false statements."

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

I love how the same idiot trumpers who literally blamed egg prices on Biden, and bragged that trump was going to magically bring them down, are all backtracking and saying he CAN'T do anything about egg prices.

And eggs are just the beginning.

YOU voted for this bullshit.

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"
Columbia hits back at Trump by moving to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products
The U.S. is Colombia's largest trade and investment partner, per the State Department.

Dear price of eggs Trump voters,

Not only aren’t they any cheaper, there’s an actual shortage because of the raging Bird Flu we’re not getting any public information about because the food safety & public health agencies responsible for that shit have basically been shut down.

Bravo.
