Donald Trump, hard at work honoring America's veterans by cracking down on waste, like for example the **sterilization of medical instruments** at the VA:

Again, this idea has been floating out there for ages, and many other governments around the globe use the concept of shadow cabinets. Why haven't the Dems actually done this?
One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

There is nothing "conservative" or "right-wing" about Patel, Gabbard or RFK Jr. They rather represent a new form of obscurantist radicalism: anti-evidence, anti-science, and opposed to the rule of law

Elon’s response to a post simply naming the 6 people he has working for him inside our government. Apparently, it is a crime for the American people to know who they are.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

WHO IS ATTACKING US? There should be a public effort to identify any Musk/DOGE staffers in OMB, Treasury & OPM.
Take their photos, badges & get identifying info.
This attack cannot be allowed to happen in secrecy.
It’s NOT a game.

Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private.
Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat
driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Exclusive: Fund manager Bessent scores double on Trump victory
As a money manager, Scott Bessent's years of inconsistent performance have contributed to a nearly 90% decline in his hedge fund's assets. Now, with other business lines expanding, he has scored on perhaps his biggest bet yet: President-elect Donald Trump.
