DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on.
4) Repeat.
They're trying it again this week. Don't let them get away with it.

Why is it so hard for people to be decent. Snubbing the handshake of a sitting Vice President as she is swearing in your wife is both shameful and cowardly. (Even if this wasn’t a formal event it’s shameful and cowardly)

The world's richest man is concerned about "government overspending."
Yet his concern about deficits seems to disappear when it comes to extending tax cuts that will disproportionately benefit billionaires like him.
Tax cuts that will balloon the deficit by $5 trillion, btw.

Kroger and Albertsons claimed they wanted to merge into one grocery giant in order to keep prices low.
But after the merger was blocked, they approved spending a combined $10 billion on stock buybacks.
They each paid their CEOs over $15 million in 2023, by the way.
