From HCR
Daniel Wu of the WaPo said the destruction of USAID will take billions of dollars from American farmers - USAID funding was less than 1% of the U.S. budget, focused on humanitarian assistance, healthcare for underserved people...promoted democracy. (Now)China can step in to fill the void.

Musks hackers are taking over NOAA so we may have to pay for weather forecasts?

This nonsense about owning Gaza & the Riviera of the Middle East is another distraction to distract from Musk's hackers invading computers and code.

If you count on a tax refund, DON'T.

Our country may be in complete disarray by then unless we the people are able to stop these criminals.

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit.

By me at @wired.com:
Federal Workers Sue to Disconnect DOGE Server
Two federal workers, citing reports that Elon Musk’s associates are operating an illegally connected email server at OPM, seek a restraining order.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

HCR-On a livestream last night, Musk said of his destruction of the federal government: “If it’s not possible now, it will never be possible. This is our shot, This is the best hand of cards we’re ever going to have. If we don’t take advantage of this best hand of cards, it’s never going to happen.”
