I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.

Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA."

To which I say:
1. Promise? Because it didn't happen last time.
2. Don't threaten me with a good time.

As evidence, the filing notes a list Mr. Fox compiled of what he called the "craziest" and "other bad" grants, which he planned to highlight on DOGE's X account. He used three dozen keywords, including
"L.G.B.T.Q.""BIPOC," "tribal, "ethnicity,"
"gender," "equality," "immigration
"citizenship" and "melting pot." (A majority of the two dozen grants deemed "craziest" related to L.G.B.T.Q. subjects.)
In the deposition, Mr. Fox said the list reflected his "subjective" judgment about whether a grant might be out of line with Mr. Trump's executive order.
"Crazy' is one way of saying it," he said.
"Most incriminating' is another way."

Why did I think they simply canceled all of them. Nope it was discriminatory

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

The final indignity: he wore a fucking hat to the transfer ceremony.

I don’t care if you’re offended by my language. Take the fucking hat off.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

New footage yet again contradicts DHS claims about its killing of a US citizen

Body camera video obtained by CBS News in the Ruben Ray Martinez case confirms another example of the Trump administration misrepresenting lethal action from immigration agents. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

In addition to allegations of raping children, Trump is accused of otherwise assaulting them, threatened them repeatedly, and blackmailed and harassed them for years. He’s a monster.
He's also accused of confessing to Epstein that he uses illegal building permits.

What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?

It’s hard to properly convey the lunacy of these proposals to people outside aerospace.

Reflect wants to put gigantic mirrors in orbit and beam down sunlight at nighttime.

SpaceX wants a million more starlink sats.

If either of these actually happens, space will be unusable.

Today Trump told Dana Bash of CNN on the phone that he's fine with Iran being an autocratic theocracy, and emphasized that they don't need elections.

Just like he plans to do here.

Remember, if something bad happens to pedophiles, it's a shame and Donald sends his love. If you're an American citizen and you get killed in the USA because of Operation Epstein Fiasco that's just the way it is and get used to it. Eat some cake and bullets, he's off to Maralago to 'dance.'

FUUUUCK THIS WEASEL

Stop trying to make Newsom happen. Newsom can never fucking happen. We will end up with the lowest turn out in history for both parties in a Newsom vs Vance election. The quislings on either side can come together to squirm and writhe in a maggoty orgy of vapid mediocrity.

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

US House votes 357-65 to block release of congressional sexual misconduct reports.

You're ruled by sex offenders and pedophile protectors.

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

β€˜please do not rely on the US government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time. there are currently no United States evacuation points.’

I'm not making this up. if you're an American stranded in the Middle East and you call the State Department help line, you get a recorded message pretty much telling you to go fuck yourself. thank you for your attention to my extremely angry post about it. link is here: bit.ly/409JSAA

β€˜We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

As a constituent of yours, @kaine.senate.gov, I hope this story isn't true. You know better than to enable a war run by fools and murderers, the kind of people who help kill schoolgirls then lie about it.
