This is serious… SERIOUS.

Who’s the whistleblower? Daniel Berulis — a senior DevSecOps architect at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), formerly with TS/SCI clearance. He just told Congress the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pulled off a covert cyber op inside a federal agency.

Libertarians took over a town in New Hampshire. They gutted the government, slashing every “wasteful” service. Including garbage pickup. Due to this, the town was soon overrun by bears. The libertarians fled. That failed experiment is now happening on a national scale.

This is fascism…this is Becky Burke she was on a back packing tour of North America and crashed into Trumps immigration pogroms. Her father writes “Our daughter Becky, a 28-year-old British tourist, has been caught up in the recent immigration crackdown in the US. What was meant to be a life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America has turned into a nightmare. Despite being a tourist with no criminal record, she was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. Becky’s current conditions are deeply concerning. She is sharing a cell, surviving on a diet of cold rice, potatoes, and beans (she is vegan), and has limited access to phone calls. Visitors are restricted to speaking through a glass screen via telephone. All her possessions have been confiscated, and she feels isolated and desperate to come home. We are doing everything we can. We are in touch with the British Consulate in London and San Francisco. An American friend is helping by sending funds to her inmate account so she can buy basic necessities like tea. But progress has been slow, and we urgently need more support. We are asking for your help. Please share Becky’s story widely through your networks. We hope to connect with experts, legal professionals, or anyone who can offer advice or assistance. Becky is a kind, adventurous young woman who simply wants to return home to her family.”

Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

When Trump said vote for me, and you will never have to vote again. This is what he meant.

JD Vance: "Our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge ... my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man, bc you like to tell a joke, bc you like to have a beer with your friends."

It’s breathtaking how much easier it was for Russia to buy the US wholesale than to defeat Ukraine on the battlefield.

WOW! Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe called Donald Trump and MAGA a "Nazi movement" and was arrested and carried out of a city council meeting by police.

☎️ This is the phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard where an operator will connect you directly with the office you request. Let your members of Congress know how you feel and what you expect regarding the policies and practices being proposed and implemented in this nation; about Executive Orders that require Congressional attention; and about President Trump’s comments on Gaza and Palestinians. #WeThePeople #RaiseYourVoice

Anyone consider that maybe Elon’s mission, is for Elon to get what he wants, rather than the country to get what you voted for ? It’s not a shock for Elon , or anyone, to put their personal goals first Elon seems to be on a mission to protect brand Elon at all costs. No ? Free Speech is everything. Until it’s anything related to Elon. Who has complete control over speech here on X The censorship of the platform you adore is in the hands of a single person, who is on a mission to make himself the most powerful person in the world. above and beyond the President of the United States.

This is like FDR's famous "100 days" -- except that FDR was trying to fix the Great Depression, whereas Trump is trying to start one.

This already exists. It is called the Government Accountability Office. Musk's proposition is not that a public entity should monitor federal spending for waste. It is that he - an unaccountable private citizen - should be able to cancel spending that he deems wasteful at will
On a separate note, it appears that DOGE is trying to do a line by line item, agency by agency audit of the United States government to eliminate fraud, redundancy, and unnecessary contractors. If that is the case, this needs to be applauded.
