So they’re breaking the law instead
The court battles over Musk, DOGE and spending overlook a salient point. There’s an undisputed, legal and constitutional way for Republicans to cut spending if they want.

There’s a process to cut spending
Unlike Elon Musk and DOGE, it wouldn’t be blocked in court.

It's more important than ever to LET PEOPLE LIKE SIMPLE STUFF WITHOUT INSERTING YOUR NEGATIVITY INTO THEIR LIVES AND FEEDS.
If you don't like that movie/show/song/franchise, fine. Great. Be happy someone else is finding a simple, goofy joy in this hellscape even if it's not your particular joy.

In 1900, 30.4% of all deaths in the US occurred among children under 5.
Today, 0.75% of deaths in the US are among kids under 5.
That’s because of science: vaccines, combating acute illnesses, & preventive health interventions.
But RFK Jr & MAHA oppose things that improve health.

Politeness is not the same as kindness.
Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.
When the norm is politeness, people withhold disagreement and criticism. When the norm is kindness, people speak their minds respectfully.

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.
