People sometimes say, “You’re the guy who retweets his own posts.” Yeah. No shit. If I don’t think something. Is worth saying, I don’t post it. If I do think it’s worth saying, I do…and why and the only reason I only share it twice…is because I can’t retweet it ten times.

The military implements a president’s lawful orders. But this does not compel military leaders to demonstrate partisan loyalty to the president or to execute unlawful orders. Their oath is to support & defend the Constitution, not of loyalty to any individual www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs for working people. Yet last night, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage to deliver huge tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of everyone else. It's the Great Betrayal and the American people won't stand for it.

Elon Musk spent $280 million to elect Trump, and now Trump has given him the keys to the federal government. It’s the most corrupt bargain in American history and we need to shut it down NOW.

Musk may get to be a dictator at Tesla, but last I checked there is no Elon Musk Article in the Constitution — something he doesn’t seem to realize. He wants to delegitimize the courts because the next step is to shut down his whole illegal and corrupt DOGE enterprise.

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

How should we understand what DOGE is doing? I argue that you can make an analogy to commissars in communist regimes or how DEI works. Rather than be about spending, it’s a way for the top of the executive branch to exert control over the bureaucracy. www.richardhanania.com/p/doge-as-a-...

DOGE claims to have saved $55 billion. WSJ is able to find $2.6 billion over a multiyear period. Only 2% of savings are related to DEI. The rest is stuff like a clinical test for a a drug to help with Alzheimer's. Now that's some real government efficiency.
