I kind of can’t believe that Donald J Trump actually tore down the White House.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

They’re on track to wrap up Project 2025 in the year 2025, at this rate. Thinking this was the plan all along.

Fascinating to see Trump supporters—like this IRS accountant who was fired amidst the DOGE gutting—direct all their hatred at Musk rather than blaming Trump. Bringing in Musk as a feral scapegoat for all the public's hatred was the best thing Trump has done for his own public perception.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Why is anyone who would use “-tard” in any adult communication allowed anywhere near the White House? Elon is a petulant, spoiled brat of a child.

Today in Cincinnati, Police shut down a highway overpass and held a line on each side to allow Hate Club to wave swastika flags and nazi banners unchallenged. They then protected them as they loaded back into their box truck, while physically pushing back a crowd of people trying to confront them.

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.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

This is why it’s so very important to insist on the rule of law and constitutionality right now. Stop every last thing that can be stopped. Challenge everything.
We have a reality tv game show host for a “president” and reality tv star for a “transportation secretary” and a morning tv “news” anchor for a “defense secretary”.

So things are going about as well as expected.
