We know there are mucking things up, but why? What is the central purpose? What are their next steps? How do people go on offense? These are questions I ask myself every day.

They’ve got that in process, I’m thinking more along the lines of martial law or upsetting judges until conflict. Or perhaps it’ll be criminalizing outreach services like handing out water to folks in line… wait, Alabama did that too. Damn. Guess we’re out of options?

It’s such meaningless waste, too. These cards have so many controls on them already, and it’s the user not the government who is ultimately responsible for charges. All he’s doing is adding INEFFICIENCIES to the process.

This is insane! A corporate credit card is just a tool to take care of business. The charges all still need to be justified. Musk needs to be fired!!!

Was at a large healthcare IT conference/trade show in Vegas this week. The hall where my company’s booth was *was supposed* to house booths from multiple government agencies (we do lots of public sector work). Half the hall was empty because none of those agencies showed.

This arbitrary $1 spending cap is not about cutting waste—it’s about crippling the government’s ability to function. By stalling critical research, halting infrastructure maintenance, and undermining public safety, this policy prioritizes political theater over the well-being of the nation.

Anyone curious as to why congress, who has the ‘power of the purse’ they can use to impose ‘checks and balances’, have become ineffective in all capacity beyond “don’t panic”? It couldn’t be the triple canopy mercs that compromised the treasury with doge under Elon weeks ago, could it?!

We need to collectively change our w-2 to stop having taxes withheld. It’s perfectly legal to do so. Then file an extension when tax day rolls around. Stop giving them your money in advance!

How much do you know about anti-cultists? These anti-cult figures encourage individuals to break the law and circulate misleading information to defame authorities. Learn more about the international terrorist network of anti-cultists in the documentary "The Impact"

That was the essence - to cripple governmental operations. Limiting spending g to $1 is insane. It can’t even buy a can of coke or a small bottle of water.

It’s never actually been something tangible. As in its writing it mostly was for wealthy wyt men. Us non-wyts & poor wyts have been offered some license to do some things covered under The Constitution, but as we see now, they’ve been revoked. One can’t wipe their ass w/the U.S. Constitution.

It's not even saving money. All those funds have already been distributed by Congress to the agencies and it's just sitting there in an account to pay the day to day bills. Talk about the BIG LIE.

It's going to be interesting to see if people are going to come to the rescue of the nation. It sounds like the forces that propel people to action have accelerated. If so this could turn enough Republicans to join the fight to secure the nation. Trump's economic and human attacks are igniting it.

This insanity is a feature, not a bug. An NWS weather radar in San Jose, CA went down last weekend and needs an expensive part replaced. They can't fix it because of this credit freeze. www.democraticunderground.com/100220094695 Imagine such going on somewhere where they have tornadoes. 😒🌪

MAGA isn’t just a movement—it’s a personality. Trump’s grip isn’t about politics; it’s about identity. So how do you break the spell? How do you pull people back without pushing them further in? The answer isn’t what you think. Read this before it’s too late. open.substack.com/pub/jasonege...

open.substack.comThe MAGA Exit Strategy: Why Trump’s Followers Can’t Leave—And How We Can Break His SpellIt’s easy—comforting, even—to believe that Trump’s most ardent supporters are simply political extremists, swept up in a wave of bad faith and worse ideas.

Every American generation made more than their parents until 1980. Reagan fixed that - and it has not returned. The rich are doing better than before the great depression. Marie Antoinette would blush.

He ran on 1) lower inflation 2) no wars 3) scapegoating marginalized people. He has done the opposite on the first 2, but his popularity remains. Seems like the last one was the real goal for Trump and his supporters.

Can anyone name something bad Hitler did before 1933, where Trump has not done something similar? Can anyone name something bad Hitler did in 1933, where Trump is not currently attempting something similar?

He has no office, responsibility, or authority: but gets to violate security laws / violate Congress's appropriation power / violate open meetings laws / destroy agencies that regulate his business / coerce agencies into giving him no bid contracts / violate labor contracts...

By stopping waste, they mean transferring more wealth to the rich. Firing people who save lives and / or money is a "saving" only if you are an idiot or a monster. He is both.

"I will lower prices on day one" = I will greatly increase prices and crash US economy. "I will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours" = I will join the dictator in destroying Ukraine and US democracy.
