DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

stop thinking and saying this is about money or tax cuts. it’s most certainly is not. this is about breaking the govt. utterly destroying it so they can replace it with a techno-dictatorship. they believe democracy is in the way of what they want to create.

Not a single Republican senator stood against Gabbard -- ignoring the law requiring the director of national intelligence to have deep national-security experience. She has none. She represents the disastrous rise of misplaced power, and a danger to the United States. www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...

Photo of a page of a newspaper showing the headline “one in three say COVID-19 response overblown: poll”

The article describes dozens of opinions on the overreach and overreaction of the response and mentions 50% thought it was appropriate and another 13% did not think it was overblown.

For the season, this perennial favorite Carol, dedicated to all those in X-odus 🎄🎅

Christmas Carol sung to the tune of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer

ELON THE THIN SKINNED SNOWFLAKE

Elon the Thin Skinned Snowflake
Had a very white skinned chest
And if you want him angry
You can track his private jet

All of the liberal tweeters
Used to laugh and call him names
They wouldn't let poor Elon
Join in any hashtag games

Then one cold Ukrainian eve
Putin came to say
"Elon with your chest so white,
Won't you block Ukraine tonight?"

Now all the despots love him
as they shout it out with glee
"Elon the thin-skinned snowflake
You're our Bitch for treachery!"
