Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Elon Musk is officially out at DOGE, but the mission is still alive.
After the sloppy Musk-led approach backfired politically and legally, the Trump Admin is moving to a more methodical gutting of agencies led by Project 2025 architect Russell Vought.

This is the GOP’s plan for schools once they destroy the Department of Education: push kids into low-wage labor, kill critical thinking, and let the wealthy profit off a powerless workforce.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵
