It wasn’t a “failure” because DOGE’s actual “mission” was only ever to hurt people and things they don’t like.
And they succeeded wildly at that.

“The U.S. Forest Service lost thousands of workers under Trump’s DOGE.
Volunteers and retirees are trying to help — but things are breaking.”

primary *every single Democrat* who says that Mamdani does not know ball. In one meeting, a Mayor, not a Member of Congress or a Senator or a candidate for President, a just-elected *Mayor* mindbent a dude that the entire Democratic Party has struggled to do anything to stymie for almost a decade.

Trump being nicer to Mamdani than Dem leadership is a weird plot twist but here we are.
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Just what the Dems deserve for caving.
NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

It’s really great the governor doesn’t know what a tariff is or how they work.
They’ve all gone mad.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.”
