So a wannabe DOGEr at Brown Univ from the conservative student paper took the univ org chart and ran it through an AI aglo to determine which jobs were "BS" in his estimation and then emailed those employees/admins asking them what tasks they do and to justify their jobs. bloat.brownspectator.com

Democrats consistently fear Republicans more than their base of voters. it's why they cave.
Some Democratic Senators are worried they will be "blamed" for a shutdown if they refuse to accede to the DOGE CR.
But they will bear blame for aiding and abetting a coup if they give in.

I’m not sure that the Trump Democrats strategy of letting the bully take their lunch money today in the hopes the bully will be nice to them tomorrow will be all that effective

A glimmer of irrational political hope I just felt was looking at Tesla's stock plummeting and thinking about what I would probably do if I lost $100 billion in four months.

Republicans won't have town halls because they face backlash? Dems should volunteer in every district to host town halls in their place.

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

I'm not saying all Democrats should show up to his address tonight with their ringtones set to "We're in the middle of a hostile government takeover..."
But I *am* saying it would be hilarious if they did.

Deeply sad to see the folks at NOAA forced out by Musk 😔 coloradosun.com/2025/02/27/n...
Mass firings of probationary federal workers begin at NOAA, including many in Boulder
Employees received emails Thursday informing them of their abrupt termination, despite a U.S. District Court ruling calling such firings’ legality into question
