Analyzing data published on DOGE's own website, the Associated Press found that 40 percent of DOGE's "savings" have not saved the government anything. What a joke.

Rather than a long post detailing my experiences at the state capitol this week, I will leave it at this: for folks who claim that they have the people, the power of a righteous cause, and an ascendant movement on their side, they sure seem frightened, angry and miserable.

Defending Trump’s power grab with the “unitary executive theory” is just a fancy way of claiming the president can rule the executive branch like a monarch. This argument has no basis in history or the Constitution.

As an elected union leader & veteran history educator, I live in a mental spiral of both fear & hope. We have seen this before, attacks on the public good & the vulnerable, the racism & fear-mongering. And we know the antidote, solidarity, collective action, & disruption. Y’all stretch, it’s time. ✊🏽

Karrin Taylor Robson calling herself a “business woman” is my favorite part of the ad announcing her candidacy for Governor of AZ. Her “business” is “lobbying.” Just weeks after she lost her 1st gov primary in 22 KTR went back to lobbying. She is still actively a paid lobbyist as of this morning.

“I barely knew him” in 3…2…1…
Screenshot showing Elon Musk standing in the Oval Office while President Donald Trump sits at the Resolute Desk, looking displeased. The CNN-style news banner at the bottom reads: "MUSK DEFEND AGGRESSIVE EFFORTS TO OVERHAUL GOVT." The tweet, by Ron Filipkowski, humorously captions the image: "Trump looks thrilled as President Musk gets most of the questions from the press today while he sits there." This is a satirical edit and not a real news broadcast.

Understand this: by trying to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elon Musk and Russ Vought are trying to make it easier for big banks to cheat you. It’s another way the Trump administration wants to reward the rich and powerful while hurting working people.

Rep. Andy Biggs began the process of running for Governor today. Having worked with Mr. Biggs, I can safely say that there are few people who have less of the patience or temperament required for the day to day work of running a state. Bloviating won't cut it when people depend on real results.
