“The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS…” @amiberger.bsky.social #ItsACoup bsky.app/profile/amib...
“If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.” @timothysnyder.bsky.social
Exactly.
Yep. Trump is paying millions to El Salvador.

“Trump is gutting [crypto] regulations that would normally constrain brazen self-dealing that dwarfs even the unchecked emoluments violations of his first term. This is only one of many abuses characterizing the most flagrant exploitation of presidential authority in American history.” @molly.wiki
“DOGE is … take control of the federal bureaucracy and hand out all the contracts to yours and your friends companies. Then privatize a bunch more stuff and give those contracts to your cos and your friends’ too. Smash and Grab, national edition.” @joshtpm.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/josh...
“The rise in treasury yields since Trump’s tariffs were announced leads to an increase in US debt interest payments that is larger than all the DOGE savings.” @jburnmurdoch.ft.com (via @kellycnbc.bsky.social) bsky.app/profile/jbur... DOGE “cost cutting” goals chart by @steverattner.bsky.social:
Thanks to Trump's incompetent Trade War, and tarrif tax on struggling Americans. Every factory on earth, except those located in the United States, can get the inputs they need from China without paying an additional 145 percent markup. China is forming better relationships while we rapidly decline.
He’sgoing to crash our economy. Bankrupt it. Then use the cash he’s currently stockpiling… to buy up Treasury bills at their highest and all of our industry and infrastructure at bargain basement clearance prices. It’s the only business he’s good at. Over leveraging into bankruptcy.
Probably a good time to consider learning Chinese; at least one dialect out of @ 200, since China will probably own the US before the end of this decade🧌
“DOGE’s latest efficiency is halting $500 million in food deliveries to the nation's food banks.” @joshtpm.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/josh... bsky.app/profile/davm...
The Gospels are full of Jesus telling people not to feed the poor. Oh, wait, that's Project 2025.
trump lies constantly! If you print what he says, have the decency to report the truth for us sane people. TY @nytimes.com.web.brid.gy
Musk and many others have never wanted for anything. Sadly they could go watch people die and feel nothing. They are responsible for deaths all over the world. So it's easy to understand why they oppose immigration of any kind. Why would they want people here that they tried to kill.
Obviously we’re better off letting soybeans rot in the fields than selling it to China or USAID We lose NOTHING and are saving $TRILLIONS!
As a bonus for killing children, DOGE also managed to bankrupt many USA farmers. Double win!
DOGE isn't an acronym for government efficiency: it stands for: Department Of Grifting Expediently
He just spews stuff on his platform. He hasn’t visited any of these places to see the effects of his appalling cuts. Another billionaire liar, stop listening to their bs
“Remember that facts still matter. Every individual who speaks out, every person who calls a lie a lie, demonstrates fealty to the truth. Do not assume that your voice does not matter. It does. You also choose truth by what you read and how you choose to spend your time.” @adriennelaf.bsky.social
As a retired librarian, I spend my time researching truth from credible sources. It angers a lot of the right but hopefully affects fence sitters.
“[Trump] has chosen — chosen! — to tear up the values that once made America the shining light of the world… without a hint of due process… If you say you love freedom, but you don’t believe in freedom for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom — it’s privilege.” @governorwalz.mn.gov

This is a spot on banger, but the thing that amuses me the most is how they are all in their sock feet so they don't mess up the hardwood floors. #midwesternvibes
I love the “saying concerning” line.
Always good to remember this... However, we know he's messing with us so there's no confusion there just disgust. Mr. Putin, please come take him away!!
This is exactly why people are fighting/protesting or asking, for due process. The land of the free is under a Nazi/Jim Crow coup. White peoples. This is your right. You did this one. Fix it. Karen your way back to “not Nazi”. I have faith in you. They have no Manager.
Poor people must starve And also, poor people should work and be productive
In addition to starving people to death in other countries, this regimenis ready to start starving US people to death now as well.
Correction: nobody that matters to Elon Musk has died.
That's obviously not efficiency. They are simply sadistic and evil.
How the hell would he know?
Overturn Citizens United
What quantifiable criteria did DOGE use to cut food deliveries to food banks?
I can't wait for doge to get the karma he deserves.
"Let them eat cake", said Marie Antionette. Then she was beheaded.
😠
Fuckers
Seriously evil. If they actually did anything, anything at all that was positive in the world I think I would die of shock.
He’s so fucking evil
Is that our criteria? That we're not actually causing death?
That's $500M of aid not just to the poor but the US farmers.
Is this America??
Just think what would happen if we fed poor and starving people!
Shameful
indeed, isn't the loss of revenue from DOGE's IRS staffing cuts greater than the purported DOGE savings?
🤬
Yeah. The plan was to bankrupt the country while stealing as much as possible.
If the taxes had been raised on the rich it would have been enough to fund Social Security. DOGE has been malpractice.
📌
No kidding! Nobody ever believed they were saving a cent. We've been watching them rip the copper wiring out of the walls since day one, and we all knew it.
You mean that ‘advisory group?!’
Ask Musk where it is. Probably in his off shore bank accounts.
DOGE didn’t save anything. He destroyed functional, competent, and respected agencies. The decades long work of others has been kicked down in a flash by the biggest ass, one that Sam Rayburn could not have imagined…
This chart looks like every one of Elon’s promises. Still waiting for those to come to reality, too, and yet he suckers in millions of people into half baked products. So $500bn from 347mn people. That’s just over $1400 for each living American. Nearly $5800 for a family of 4. So much winning.
This makes me so angry. To have squander our hard earned tax money taken from us when the top 1% are paying their fair share. And all the federal workers fired will not be paying taxes, bills, mortgages nor will our government be able to function without qualified employees. STUPID
DOGE is not about cutting costs; all about sowing fear and creating chaos.
But at least they stole all the data in the world
Hey @cnn.com @cbsnews.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @nbcnews.com you gonna cover this old inept man’s presidential actions now?? 🤬🤬🤬 FOTUS is crashing the economy on purpose and not covering it with the anger and hate you throw at Biden makes you complicit! Do your damn jobs!!
How much have they spent or lost while saving this money?
@maddow.msnbc.com @meidastouch.com
So, no one has to buy crypto crap.
🚨
Is anyone else that’s in the government paying attention to this shit show?! Congress? Senate? Not pay for play lawyers? He’s literally breaking and decimating everything! Can someone please help and do something to stop this craziness? Thanks- Normal US citizens
And Dem Senators like @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov who have taken money from crypto lobbyists are aiding and abetting them
Would falsifying evidence be considered an official presidential duty? (Asking for a nation.)
Given how intransient the administration has been about returning Kilmar Ábrego García, it's got to be Trump resisting it.
Our press is complicit in the demise of our democracy 😭🤬🤬
It’s kidnapping!
Thank you for articulating this! The cognitive dissonance is one of the hardest parts of living through this crisis. It’s almost like the billionaire class is trying to gas light us into believing we, the hardworking citizens of these (former?) United States are the problem, not the robber barons.
