"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA" "in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

This should have been all over the news.. This is Trump’s America.. where violent criminals are promoted and heroes are threatened. Every Republican in Congress should be ashamed.

Dear stage of chainsaw-wielding billionaires… did you know that 1 in 3 federal workers is a veteran? Do you care? Or is laughing at the suffering of your fellow Americans all you can hear now?

“The Trump administration is working to destroy medical research as we know it with an illegal, unrealistic cap on the NIH reimbursement rate for indirect costs. That would mean: cancer researchers laid off, lifesaving clinical trials cancelled, and more.” www.murray.senate.gov/republicans-....

"The call to action — or rather inaction — is asking that American consumers refrain from making any purchases at major retailers on Friday, Feb 28"

Not surprising news that DT’s supporters are threatening Republican congressmen.. but if you can’t do your job to protect our country.. step down!

Federal workers make democracy work for all of us—but their hard work often goes unnoticed. Today, let’s change that. Share your stories of how civil servants have impacted your life in the comments below and use the #FedLove hashtag to spread the message! (1/2)

Exactly this!!!!!

god this guy is an idiot. like, a stone cold idiot who sincerely believes that war fighting and preparedness is about having the biggest dick

Consumers are boycotting major retailers. Here's what they plan for 'blackout' on Feb. 28 www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

DOGE head Elon Musk is set to win a $400 million government contract for armored Tesla Cybertrucks. This comes after securing a SpaceX contract for $38,858,978 yesterday.

The United States State Department is now planning to spend $400 million in taxpayer money to buy Tesla Cybertrucks.

Before they take another step toward dismantling the federal workforce, they need to show proof of work. Not something they cherry picked and fabricated. Not something that was approved by Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Actual fraud and corruption. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

The DOGE website is basically a twitter feed. What is this, amateur hour? My 2nd grader has to show more proof of work than that! doge.gov

And there it is. Republicans have proposed a $4 trillion debt limit increase. Four trillion dollars.

⛽️🥚🏡 “I won on groceries. Very simple word, groceries.” - Donald Trump www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Not a coincidence

But I’m sure he’ll just regulate himself and point out any obvious conflicts of interest…

Five days apart.

This says it all

This level of conflict of interest and lack of transparency is unprecedented and rife with opportunity for self-enrichment. This is unacceptable.

How ‘bout them eggs? 🥚 ⛽️ 🏠 “On day one…”

Head of DOGE Elon Musk has received a new $38,858,978 government contract for his company SpaceX. Musk is self-determining his own conflicts of interest.

This should be the first program that doge is brought before Congress to show evidence of fraud. Actual fraud. Not one check that missed a cull. Fraud at the level requiring that it be gutted. It would be a great time for Dems to show what the agency has accomplished for consumers.

A federal judge ordered the nation’s premier health agencies to restore online access to several websites that monitor HIV, health risks for youths and assisted reproductive technologies, which were abruptly taken offline to ensure they complied with President Donald Trump’s recent executive order.

Right wing media is losing its mind over reports that Musk just fired 4 FEMA workers over payments for immigrants’ housing. But weren’t these payments made by the Shelter and Services Program and approved by Congress? Wasn’t this program created in 2019 under Trump? www.foxnews.com/us/4-fema-em...

There was a time in America when a Super Bowl ad from a self-declared Nazi touting a website that sells swastika t-shirts would have prompted widespread outrage and apologies from all involved. That time, however, is not February 2025. My newsletter today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“I exhort all the faithful of the Catholic Church, and all men and women of good will, not to give in to narratives that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters.” Pope Francis.

DT did not win 50% of the vote. He won 49.8%… which means that more people voted against him than voted for him. This fake mandate is getting pretty old.

Every Democrat needs to be ready to use this type of leverage. What exactly are the rest waiting for? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The DOGE employee who said, “I was racist before it was cool.” and “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” is now being rehired by Musk. This is who had unprecedented control over our personal data. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The fake tariff war of 2025…

"Vance had a chance to defend his OWN family, and he opted to defend the Indian-hating bigot instead. Where are the balls on these Republican men? ... Elon wants his DOGE kid who hates Indians back and Vance does his bidding... Do they castrate these guys at the door of the RNC?"

Breaking news: A federal judge in Massachusetts temporarily paused the Trump administration’s buyout program’s deadline, which had been set for 11:59 p.m. Thursday, and set a new hearing for Monday.

Are the literal BILLIONS of dollars Musk’s companies receive in federal subsidies on the chopping block alongside the aid he just pulled for starving children?

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!

Richest man pulls funding for life-saving food deliveries and medicine for starving children. Now turns his attention to Medicare…

Republicans seem to be dealing with a morality issue. There’s a sense that what is right doesn’t matter. Is it wrong for people to beat capitol police and send 140 of them to the hospital? Is it wrong to have the means to help a starving child or HIV patient in Sudan and gleefully deny them life?

The Trump’s campaign promise was to finish the job they started on Jan 6 and this is what it looks like.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Breaking news: President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order aimed at eventually closing the Education Department and, in the short term, dismantling it from within, according to three people briefed on its contents.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan
