WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:
FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

CBS went to a military food pantry (those words, in order) to interview moms. 13% of military families rely on SNAP/WIC. When a military spouse of a deployed soldier on enlisted salary was asked if people should be surprised: “No they shouldn’t. We live in poverty just like everybody else.”

Stephen Miller’s wife Katie loses her shit and comes complete unglued because she claims that when Cenk said “the Millers lie” that was an anti-Semitic comment. Totally unhinged wacko.

The GOP just has a visceral reaction to helping anyone that is middle class or poor. MAGA hates those people even though they are mostly in those classes, blaming non-whites for their position and problems.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
