This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

When — not if, when — Hegseth’s incompetence results in a national security disaster or the needless deaths of soldiers, blame will lie not just with the Trump administration but with Congress too.
Anyone who hasn’t demanded his resignation will share responsibility when that reckoning comes.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in U.S. history. The Signal debacle is a grave warning that must be heeded.
The lives of service members and America’s national security are at stake. Hegseth must resign now, before dangerous errors lead to horrifying consequences.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts, rockets and presidents”.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

My cousin also has a company w/ government contracts. He & his wife are retired Navy.
They will have to lay off 100+ people soon. Each of those people are downhill from federal jobs, but all connected to their towns, schools, local organizations & will be taking away $$.

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone.
And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration.
If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would.
