If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

RFK JR. SHOULD NOT EVEN BE IN CONSIDERATION FOR NOMINATION. A LIAR, ANTI-VAX & MISINFORMATION & DISINFORMATION SPREADER SHOULD BE NOWHERE NEAR HHS, LET ALONE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

To every Senate Dem: Shut it the fuck down. Trump’s unconstitutional chaos will kill people.
1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze.
2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings.
3️⃣ Vote no on all Cloture.
4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity.

It's time to fight.

A screenshot of a tweet by David Wagner that says: “A furnished Bel Air home went on Zillow today for $29,500 / month. A few months ago, it was asking $15,900.” “I called up the agent. She said she told her client to re-list the home after this week's L.A. fires. "People are desperate," she said. "You can probably get good money." With a screenshot of the Zillow listing

OMG, another fucking school shooting, this one in Madison, WI. Seven people shot, three deceased.

How we can save Georgian democracy
John McCain's last visit to Georgia in 2017 was a testament to his belief in Georgian democracy and freedom, and current Georgian Dream's actions have led to a loss of international legitimacy and recognition, and a loss of trust in the Georgian people.

Here's what Kimberly Guilfoyle, the soon-to-be US ambassador to Greece, had to say about Greek people in 2015:

“I mean, nobody likes freeloaders. It doesn’t matter if you made great yogurt. I don’t care... Suck it up. Get up in the morning. Go to work."

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump’s ambassador to Greece, once called Greeks ‘freeloaders’
Co-hosting the Fox News panel show ‘The Five’ in July 2015, Kimberly Guilfoyle suggested that Greek citizens were too dependent on the government, calling on them to work harder and ‘suck it up’
