New from me: DOGE just put the entire staff on leave at the federal agency that coordinates US homelessness response. The agency's new leader is the same DOGE software engineer who now serves as the director of the US Institute for Peace: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, saying out loud, on camera, that Social Security recipients should accept missing a month's payment without complaint, and calling them criminals if they did complain, should be an inescapable political disaster. And maybe already is. youtu.be/aavEmJSqJVQ

Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings. Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.

Trump has still not introduced a single plan or policy to lower grocery prices. But he is taking action on day one to raise prices.

Trump just rescinded an Executive Order issued by President Biden to lower prescription drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

The same old s*%t from the GOP. If these Republicans kowtow to Trump and ignore taking care of the American people, a government shutdown will occur this Saturday at 12:01 am without action from Congress. And there’s no fallback plan. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

nbcnews.comTrump opposes funding bill, pushing government closer to a shutdownElon Musk joined a wave of right-wing fury against a bill to keep the government open. Now, the president-elect says he wants big changes, too, before this weekend's deadline.

I am told that disagreeing with Trump is spewing hate! Am I? I’m scared to death for what may happen when he gets into office. I pray I’m wrong but the worry is strong. Can anyone in congress read this and convince me the media is making too much out of everything?

I know you're never going to believe this, but ... For the 3rd year in a row, Musk’s foundation did not give away enough of its money. Tax filings show that the Musk Foundation fell $421 million short of the amount it was required to give away in 2023. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/u...

nytimes.comMusk’s Foundation Gave Away Less Money Than Required in 2023Private foundations must donate 5 percent of their assets every year. Elon Musk’s enormous charity missed that standard for three consecutive years.

This is how the Postmaster General reacts when Members of Congress demand accountability.  He’s the reason your prescriptions, paychecks, and bills are late.  Embarrassing.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.
