My obit for DOGE points out that in the end it didn’t even save money. It did kill 430,000 children, though. If the goal was to eliminate foreigners, DOGE was a stunning success. About 64 expired for every AID employee fired or placed on administrative leave.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Bari Weiss is a moron but I'm very skeptical that Drop Site News Dot Biz is accurately quoting her as calling Alan Dershowitz charismatic. Let's see the tape!

"Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out."—anonymous senior House Republican
In other words, enough Republicans will retire to switch control of the House to Democrats.

Fascinating grievance from an unnamed House Republican to @jakesherman.bsky.social: "This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. ... They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies." punchbowl.news/article/hous...
What MTG got right
MTG’s four-page note was stinging for House Republicans. Why? Because the message rang true to so many in the House GOP.
