DOGE's next target should be the White House, not cancer researchers, food safety inspectors and air traffic controllers. Trump is plundering the taxpayers and draining the coffers of the people. That's monarchy, not democracy.
Despite Trump's promised cuts, U.S. spent more than $200 billion more in first 100 days than last year

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

Today Trump arrested a judge in Wisconsin. This administration wants to intimidate judges and everyone else who gets in their way. That’s not how our democracy works.

The Trump administration now says they are allowed to enter your home to look for migrants without a warrant.
They claim their actions are unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment.

Resistence is NOT futile
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.
Marriott still has my business.
