1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

Greg Abbott claims his private school voucher scam will help working families.

But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it would give $1.2 million in taxpayer funds to Elon Musk.

Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy.

The same oligarchs who claim they hate government handouts are almost entirely reliant on government handouts themselves. Some would say it is hypocritical. But remember that hypocrisy is merely an expression of power.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.

The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.

This is trickle down economics on steroids.

One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen.
*The working conditions are chaotic.
*No clear sense of who works there.
*Routine processes have been stopped.
*No planning can take place.
*People are incredibly demoralized.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security?

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

A Predator movie where the Predator shows up in Washington DC, but gets all bummed because there are no spines for him take as a trophy.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

The fact that the OG Lex Luthor died just as the real world Lex Luthor began dismantling America... Didn't think I could hate this 2025 script any more.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu
— Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile
— Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans

“Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

NEW: Georgia’s governor promotes his Medicaid work requirement as a national model for reform.

Yet the program has cost taxpayers $86M, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants, and enrolled less than 3% of the quarter-million Georgians eligible.

watching CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER for the first time in a minute and yeah, this is still in the top 5 of everything that has come out of marvel studios

The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR attorney general nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!

A short thread on what refusal to comply can look like, with specifics, examples, and ideas for what the future may hold.

Actually IDK if it's gonna be short, but it's gonna be specific, so read on if you're curious.

Notice how the same folks who called Kamala Harris “unqualified” are excited about a Fox News host and Matt Gaetz landing jobs they’re wildly unfit for
