Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement

See how that works

Makes watergate look like checkers
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Feb 9
Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

If DOGE were actually doing what it claims to be, it would be defunding SpaceX.

This is what actual fiscal responsibility looks like - not dismantling organizations with zero regard for how to provide necessary functions. Take your $137k request for BS and get lost.

Hegseth submitted a request for $137,000 Housing Upgrade, $50,000 for 'Emergency' Paint Job. Here's the Congressional response. Kudos.
Dear Secretary Hegseth, On January 30, 2025, the Army notified the committee of its intent to exceed the $35,000 threshold for operation, maintenance, and repair of a currently empty family housing unit, for a total requirement of $137,297. Of this amount, $49,900 would be required for an "emergency" paint job. It was not until February 5, 2025 that the committee learned that you would be the occupant of this family housing unit. Please respond to the following questions: 1. Why do you require government furnished housing? 2. Why do you require housing specifically at 3. Please provide a list of all currently available officer quarters that require less than $137,297 in upgrades. What is the total monthly rent that you will pay? 5. Please provide a list of past Secretaries of Defense that required government furnished housing including the costs required to improve that housing before occupancy and the annual rent that was paid. 6. The notification states that, "This General Flag Officers Quarters (GFOQ) was inadvertently omitted from the list of GFOQs submitted in the FY2025 President's Budget." If this was a requirement a year ago, why is the painting now considered an emergency that requires a waiver of our 14-day waiting period requirement? 7. Why is $49,900 for emergency painting of this residence necessary and how does that use of funds comply with the Administration's stated goal of government efficiency? 8. We know that many servicemembers and their families currently live in unacceptable housing conditions including houses with mold, lead paint, and other hazards. What commitment will you make to provide servicemembers with a similarly high quality of housing for themselves and their families? We look forward to your prompt response by February 21, 2025. Sincerely, Debbie Wasserman Schultz Rosa L. DeLauro
