If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

So if Musk isn't in control of DOGE, a bunch of 20 somethings are mass firing federal employees at will? How fucked does that sound?! And to all of the "progressives" that sat on their hands and didn't vote, fuck you. You're just as culpable.

Loss of life is preventable for so many things because of science. It amazes me how many people will turn a blind eye to evidence and blindly follow people like RFK Jr. For those that believe in evidence based practices, keep getting vaccinated. For deniers... good luck.

This is the important part. A LOT of veterans take jobs with the federal government, receive benefits/hospital care (like myself) for disabilities related to service from those veterans working, receive a hiring preference for being a veteran or disabled veteran, which could fall under DEI.

The biggest moment for me recently that I picture vividly is when my discussing the Greenland threats before the election he stated, incredulously, "Do you really think he will do that?!" Yes, yes I did and still do even more so now after this train wreck 3 weeks.

These punitive laws do nothing to solve the problem. They simply exacerbate it. Try solving the problem, not punishing people who really have nothing to lose. It's why they're homeless in the first place.
