It’s wild to me that there’s a senior government official who posts daily about how they don’t like Black & Brown people on social media and it’s not a scandal.
It’s just background noise in the overall awfulness of the Trump administration.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

If they can open the Overton Window wide enough to fit Epstein, then the (unstated) implication is that Trump must fit, too.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Another observation from my 101-year-old grandfather, since he's tickled pink that people enjoy his points of view. He says he listened to Father Coughlin's radio show back in his youth and that nothing reminds him of that infamous antisemite and bigot as Tucker Carlson's commentary today.

Tech layoffs in 2022 & 2023 were related to ZIRP ending & COVID overhiring but it now seems productivity gains from AI coding tools have caused companies to believe they need fewer developers.

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

No, you just need to use your critical thinking skills and not allow your brain to become so melted you don’t pause and think.

Not buying batteries for your smoke detector could be counted as saving money, as could not "wasting your money" on a toothbrush. If you only care if there's a fire, or when your teeth start falling out, then it's too late to realize you were wrong.
Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.
DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that
