Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”

Just getting to this @nytimes.com article about what a jawdropping bullshit factory, failure and fraud DOGE is.

Musk is an historic disgrace, and what they've done is an incredible national scandal. Gift link. READ IT.

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress (Gift Article)
Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

Now he’s down to $150 billion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion

So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services

This clown will cut $58 billion

Maybe

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

While both Trump and Vance yelled at him. Un-effing-believable that #ThisIsAmerica now.
President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.
He is standing up for his people while Trump mows through ours.

Hearing from Community Partners International, which works from Myanmar to Bangladesh, that USAID cuts mean 14,000 people with HIV losing access to lifesaving meds and a total stop in all HIV and TB screening. So many people will die due to these chaotic, sudden, horrifically implemented cuts.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.

I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

The Trump Administration is declaring and out-and-out war against people of color, women, and other minorities. It's not that Trumpers and Musk want a colorblind society. That's a lie.
They want to keep back everyone who isn't Christian and White. Period.
They want to keep us all down.
All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place.

That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities.
