DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

It seems there was a dinner at the WH where a military choir serenaded the orange turd and his guest with a rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables, and the ignorant fools loved it. This is what happens when you don’t read. People mock you to your face. 😹

Is Elon a govt employee? If he is, he needs to be held responsible for the intense and number lies he is putting out with constant “if true then…” If he isn’t then he needs to get the hell away from my govt.

J.D. Vance's lecture in Europe basically convinced every country to quietly create a new secret group chat without the US.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

It's not about the bathrooms. It never has been. If they were worried about assault they wouldn't be ok with the new administration. It's about hate. Pure and simple

Rep. Jasmin Crockett is always 🔥
Tweet from Jasmine Crockett:

If @HouseGOP really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

Since someone pointed it out to me, every time I see promo for wicked I think about how funny it is that this is a movie based on a musical based on a book based on a movie based on a book about American monetary policy in the early 20th century
