CALIFORNIA WATER UPDATE: The Army Corps knew the water wouldn’t reach LA—but they followed Trump’s orders and dumped it anyway.
He wasted billions of gallons for a photo op. Hope farmers don’t ask where their precious water went when they need it this summer—the clown they voted for sabotaged them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This guy should have no role in running our government. We didn’t elect him. He’s not a gov’t employee who is accountable. He hasn’t taken an oath to uphold the constitution or work on behalf of the American people. He’s in it for himself not for us.

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system.
Treasury stays silent.
White House stays silent.
Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

San Carlos Airport manager said the airport’s controllers resigned after the FAA changed air contracts to a firm with lower pay that does not take account of the region’s high cost of living.
“Understandably, all current controllers have declined the new offers.”

If these Republicans advance RFK Jr., they're not just rolling the dice on a reckless nominee, they are telling the country they believe it's more important to appease Donald Trump than ensure Americans' health. Confirming this anti-vaxxer is not just about politics--it's a life-and-death decision.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
