Valerie Leavy @valeavy.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I don’t need proof, it’s plainly obvious to me. But if you want mainstream America to take it seriously, there needs to be proof. 020
Valerie Leavy @valeavy.bsky.social · 21/02/2025That’s not what Russia wants. They want to dissolve NATO, separate us from EU allies, spread disinformation and divide our country, and finally, throw out the Dollar as the dominant trade currency. They would love to cripple the economy. Trump is making all their dreams come true! 183

Reposted by Valerie Leavyemptywheel @emptywheel.bsky.social · 20/02/2025I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...npr.orgDOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add upA new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up. 24962042458

Valerie Leavy @valeavy.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I don’t see a way to prevent an Orban-style erosion of democracy without bipartisan commitment to democratic principles and oversight. There’s either a critical mass of republicans who are offended by this autocratic power grab… or there’s not. If they keep cowing to this clown show, we’re fucked. 110
Valerie Leavy @valeavy.bsky.social · 07/02/2025You’re right, seems like use of this term has totally dropped off. Probably because both sides of the aisle feel like we are heading in the wrong direction. Also wonder if the insurrection had anything to do with disuse of that word 000
