Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

So you’re telling me that all Roma had to do to get Evan Ferguson scoring was to stick him in an Ireland away kit? Love to see it. #COYBIG

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Having been in Croke Park on that famous day in 1982 when Offaly beat Kerry, stopped their Five in a row and won the All Ireland with a last minute goal, this version of Troy Parrott’s goal hits the spot. Beautiful. #coybig

my anger is not going away in a few weeks. it is insulting for these senators to horsetrade so that ppl retiring or not running until 2030 can vote no while they find just enough yes votes to do what the GOP wants.
i will be angry for longer than a few weeks and i don't appreciate the condescension.

This is why it’s The Epstein Recess. It won’t be back in session until after the special election in TN on Dec. 2nd, where Johnson hopes he’ll get a vote that counteracts Grijalva’s vote.
Yes, Republicans are willing to let kids go hungry and for the economy to tank to protect wealthy pedophiles.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

40!
And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity—& still unapologetically dunking on Trump.
He is anti-MAGA w/o throwing people under the bus.
