  • Treasury watchdog launches audit of DOGE access to federal government's payment system

    Jump

  • I don't care. Six months is an insane time frame relative to the impacts and is honestly feeding into Musk et al's narrative about government inefficiency. I understand a thorough audit takes time, but set a goal to release a preliminary report by end of March with an overview of major findings and then release the full report by June. But then they might have to work overtime...

    Otherwise they might as well throw their report directly in the trash because it'll end up being the Mueller and Smith investigations all over again: too late to matter.

  • Seeking a Mar-a-Lago Vibe, Trump Considers Paving Over Grass in Rose Garden [NYT]

    Jump

  • Sorry civil servants, you were fired so Trump could build the most expensive ballroom on the planet and the world's richest man could plunder even more corporate welfare for himself.

  • AOC mocks border czar for suggesting she's 'impeding' the law: 'Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start'

    Jump

  • "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

  • AOC calls for Eric Adams to 'be removed' as mayor

    Jump

  • The Adams election was like a preview of the Trump election for me. Many of us saw this man was a corrupt, lying egomaniac well before the election, because so much of the reporting made it crystal clear. And we did our part by spreading the word and voting against him, and in the end none of it mattered one iota because voters disliked de Blasio (Biden) and wanted a major change and were too dumb to see Adams (Trump) for what he actually was.

  • Political Parties Are Illegal in the United States

  • Really interesting article, thanks for sharing.

  • I’m a Federal Worker. You Have No Idea the Irreversible Damage Elon Musk Is Doing.

    Jump

  • The lower courts are somewhat independent, with the exception of many Trump appointees, but they have no independent enforcement mechanism for their rulings.

  • Elon Musk brought his 4-year-old to the Oval Office. It wasn’t just a photo op.

    Jump

  • He's made comments that indicate he's clearly worried about being assassinated, and then he started doing this. So yeah.

    I think it's also to deflect criticism. How can he possibly be a conniving, evil autocrat when he has such a cute kid?

  • GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley says Trump isn't following the law

    Jump

  • Democrats are not impotent; they can vote no on every confirmation, every bill, every time. They can delay all votes using parliamentary procedure. They're just not doing it because they want to play nice. They think Americans will get tired of this on their own and vote Democrats into majorities in 2026. They don't want to give Trump an excuse to say Democrats obstructed him so he had to do this, etc. But it won't work, and while they play nice we'll descend into autocracy.

  • New York Got $80 Million for Migrants. The White House Took It Back.

  • Changing the subject because you were wrong

  • President Trump’s tariffs bring return of uncertainty for America’s farmers.

    Jump

  • He did the same thing in his first term, so naturally they voted him in again.

  • GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley says Trump isn't following the law

    Jump

  • I don't mean to be rude, but are you from Candyland? You need 20 Republicans in the Senate to convict him and remove him from office. He tried to kill them and they still didn't convict him.

    It won't happen.

  • Judge allows Trump's deferred resignations plan for federal workers to proceed

    Jump

  • This MF was appointed by Clinton.

    People need to stop expecting the judiciary to save us. It won't. Think back to the many, many times when people thought "now is the time we'll finally hold these criminals accountable." The Supreme Court failed us. Federal judges mostly failed us.

    It's like talking about how the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms is gonna start arresting people. No. This is all cope.

    Organize. People in the streets will be the only solution.

  • The answer, of course, is for the remaining USAID staff to just ignore conflicting instructions and just give the food away. Federal workers need to understand that the job they have is not secure whether they obey or not.

  • New York Got $80 Million for Migrants. The White House Took It Back.

    Jump

  • No, this is not true. For low and middle income earners it was a mixed result at best. Some paid more, some less. Do you know what wasn't a mixed result? Corporate taxes being slashed in half, from an average of 23% to just 12%.

  • Middle school students hold walkout during Hegseth visit to US base in Germany

  • Hopefully the armed forces feel the same way about him when he gives an illegal order to fire on American citizens.

  • Married women could be stopped from voting under SAVE Act

    Jump

  • A confrontation is coming, but the problem is it isn't just one person but an entire party in power. If it's as bad I think it will be—and we make it out of this as a single country—we're going to need de-Nazification laws, but with the Republican party. "De-Republicanification"...

  • Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence

  • The vote was 52 in favor and 48 against, with all Democrats and Republican senator Mitch McConnell opposing her nomination.

  • Nader is the first I've read who says what I've been thinking: when does the killing begin?

    That will seem like an extreme statement to some, but a campaign of terror is absolutely coming.
