DOGE claims to have "saved" tens of billions in fraudulent government spending, but don't be fooled — all they've really done is illegally cut a bunch of congressionally-appropriated funding that Elon Musk doesn't like.
The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.
2026 midterm elections need to be the most massive shift in recent history to take control of the House AND the Senate away from the Republicans who have abdicated their Constitutional duties and ceded their authority to President Trusk.
Surely, even many Republican voters must object.
Just remember: if a foreign power invaded this country and wanted to maintain a fiction of legal government the first thing it would do would be free jailed terrorists who would support it, and eliminate those who put them in jail
Agree with every word here Pete Buttigieg, except these: “It’s time for this President to show actual leadership.” Respectfully, Trump is humanly incapable of being a leader. So actually, it’s time to stop asking or telling him to be a leader. It’s time to oppose him.

Trump has taken a sledgehammer to government ethics by:
-Rescinding Biden's EO outlining ethics commitments for political appointees
-Firing 18 federal inspectors general
-Launching a self-enriching crypto coin
This will be the most corrupt administration in history.
And—in particular—don’t be silent for the sake of being polite. We’re not taking about politics in the ordinary sense anymore. This is about decency and morality and whether or not this country chooses to become a thoroughly criminalized state instead of an imperfect representative democracy.
You can't shame MAGA. It's impossible to shame shameless people. I go on and debate them, trust me. They will make excuses for and glorify Musk's Nazi salute and Trump pardoning violent insurrectionists. But remember there's a world out there - and the majority opposes it. Be loud. Don't be silent.
Bad day for America today. My thought is to fight back. They boycotted Bud Light, now it’s time for us to fight back. Boycott Tesla, don’t use twitter, cancel WaPo subscriptions, and deactivate FB accounts. The best way to stop an oligarchy is to boycott their companies!
