Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

Gavin Newsom's 3 most powerful rivals are his biggest obstacle to the presidency in 2028. Those 3 powerful rivals are:
1) His own hatred of homeless people
2) His weird obsession with trans kids in sports
3) His desire to be liked by the far-right
He needs to defeat all 3. But they are strong!🤡

If he ends up being the Democrat on the presidential ticket in 2028, you would rather vote republican or not vote at all because of this issue?? That’s the million dollar question. Not the hill I would die on and def not worth losing an election over!

Little folks on Lawsky - anyone else having issues with @mycase.bsky.social this morning?
It won't let me login and so I'm lost. I guess it's a sign to go take a walk.
