Say it loudly - DOGE was a scam to steal govt data for Musk AI initiatives and degrade service quality for all services. It didn’t save a cent, cost thousands of people their careers, interrupted regulatory and finance work that would have made a positive impact on debt - and improved NOTHING.

Adjusted for timing shifts, the federal government spent $228 billion more in Fiscal Year 2025 than in 2024.

DOGE was never about cutting spending.

Monthly Budget Review: September 2025

The federal budget deficit was $1.8 trillion in fiscal year 2025, CBO estimates, $8 billion less than the shortfall recorded during fiscal year 2024.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Jack Posobiec, Mr. “Stop the Steal,” may have actually committed voter fraud—by casting ballots in PA while living in MD. Investigators are aware.

He’s suddenly not talking.

Voter Fraud Jack Posobiec Lives In MD, Votes In PA

The world ALREADY knows what's going on, STOP recording and DO something!
Have 2 people in the crowd record and the REST go STOP ICE.
THEY started this with VIOLENCE, and as much as I abhor violence, VIOLENCE will be the ONLY end of it.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) @repstansbury.bsky.social · 7d

“Maximize pain” — that is what the White House literally told the GOP their strategy is. Imagine responding to the fight for human dignity with a strategy for maximizing pain.

History will remember those who stood up, spoke out, and did what was right in this moment for the American people.

Trump keeps trying to pin the government shutdown on the Democrats. Americans are not buying it.

A new poll from the Washington Post found that nearly half of Americans blame the shutdown on the president and Republicans in Congress.
