This updates and confirms previous analyses by Adam on the distribution of probationary cuts. DOGE was broadly a downsizing project, but a highly ideological one.
9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies.
They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead.
No, it was working. They broke it.
Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.
Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

🚨🚨🚨 The House GOP just passed the #MedicaidMassacre bill out of the Budget Committee.
#CA22 Rep. David Valadao (R) won by just 6.8% (Dems have overperformed by 12% so far this year)...
...while up to 198,000 of his constituents (21.3%) would lose healthcare coverage if this bill goes into effect.

Trump, who cut the National Weather Service, has been silent about the 23 people who were recently killed in storms and tornadoes in Kentucky.
Instead, he’s been posting multiple Middle East trip propaganda videos featuring himself.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 65 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo* of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

With the mainstream news attention that will be given to Biden's cancer diagnosis, I hope reporters also focus on the Trump Administration's aggressive cuts to our medical and health research that will inevitably lead to countless preventable deaths. It's happening right now.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

This is how it’s done.
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court
