  • Your personal data is not safe from Musk and his computer Ninjas

    Urgent Warning: Brace yourselves, folks! It seems that Musk’s buddy, Silicon Valley big shot Tom Krause, is now pulling the strings at the Bureau of Fiscal Service. This bureau handles over $5 trillion in payments each year for important programs like Social Security, Medicare, and tax refunds. And guess what? Musk is out here on social media demanding that all these payments be stopped immediately because he thinks they’re illegal.

    But wait, there’s more! Trump’s pal, 25-year-old Marko Elez, just left the bureau after some not-so-great publicity about his racist social media posts. This guy had access to a treasure trove of super sensitive personal information, like Social Security numbers and birthdays of individual taxpayers. So now we’ve got Trump and Musk handing over our personal info to people who shouldn’t even be trusted with a goldfish.  

    Mush is also infiltrating the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as if they have free rein over the entire operation! Reportedly, they’ve cunningly inserted themselves into critical payment and contracting systems, as revealed by insiders. These are not just any files; they are highly sensitive documents that could jeopardize payments for millions of Americans!

    CMS, the oh-so-politically and economically sensitive agency, is basically the brains behind the nation’s healthcare economy. They’re throwing around a cool $1.5 trillion in fiscal 2024, which is about 22% of the federal total.

    Oh, MAGA supporters, we tried to warn you about Project 2025, but it looks like you’re in for a rude awakening. You voted for Trump, and now it seems like you’ll be paying the price sooner rather than later. Good luck with that!

  • The White House’s most criticized instances of wasteful spending from USAID are absolutely a LIE!

    President Donald Trump and his band of elite billionaires and political cronies have decided to play a little game called “Let’s Destroy U.S. Foreign Aid.” In a shocking turn of events, Elon Musk announced that Trump has given the green light to “shut down” the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) taking charge of the chaos. USAID employees were left scratching their heads as they found their Washington, D.C. headquarters locked up tighter than a drum.

    But fear not, dear citizens, for Trump’s mission to dismantle foreign aid is not about efficiency or saving money. No, it’s all about flexing his muscles and fulfilling the grand promises of Project 2025, whatever that may be. And let’s not forget Elon Musk, who is gleefully kicking out scientists, engineers, and health specialists to make room for tax cuts for his wealthy pals.

    Despite the fact that foreign aid makes up a measly 1 percent of the federal budget, Trump and his crew are determined to wreak havoc and sow confusion throughout the foreign assistance sector. Who needs stability and security when you can have chaos and job loss.

    The Trump administration, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to suspend congressionally appropriated funds, potentially violating a plethora of laws including the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

    When aid is cut off, it’s not just a matter of losing influence – it’s a matter of losing lives, credibility, and national security. But hey, who needs those things anyway?

    And let’s not forget the White House’s brilliant examples of wasteful spending from USAID that aren’t even connected to the agency. Because why bother with facts when you can just make stuff up?

    In a shocking turn of events, it turns out there’s no evidence of billions of dollars being “stollen” from USAID. And apparently, paying for media subscriptions is now considered a scandal. Who knew?

    By putting the kibosh on aid programs, Trump is not only alienating our allies but also jeopardizing global security. Who needs strong partner nations and effective security initiatives when you can just wing it and hope for the best? And while we’re at it, let’s just sit back and watch China make power moves while we twiddle our thumbs.

    So, let’s all give a round of applause to President Trump and his merry band of billionaires (Elon Musk) for their brilliant plan to make America great again by tearing down everything in sight.

    Trump has managed to once again spew out a bunch of nonsense without actually knowing what he’s talking about. But hey, who needs facts when you’ve got Twitter, right?

  • Trump’s job approval is already in the toilet

    It’s absolutely shocking (not really) that Trump’s job approval is already in the toilet just over two weeks into his presidency. Usually, this is the time when presidents are basking in the glow of public adoration, but not Trump. His poll numbers are plummeting faster than a lead balloon.

    According to a new poll from Civiqs conducted for Daily Kos, only 45% of registered voters approve of the job Trump is doing, while a whopping 52% are opposed. Even independent voters, who usually swing both ways, are turning their backs on him. Fifty-three percent disapprove of his performance, while a measly 43% approve.

    And let’s not forget about the cherry on top – blaming a plane crash on diversity programs in aviation. Classic Trump move. 68% of voters agree that disaster relief shouldn’t be withheld over policy disagreements with the president.

    Let’s not forget Elon Musk and his poll numbers. The percentage of Republicans who support Elon Musk having a significant influence has decreased significantly to 26%. Conversely, 43% of Republican respondents prefer Musk to have a minor influence, while 17% believe he should have no influence at all. These findings are based on the most recent poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov, which was released on Wednesday.

    So, while Trump may have narrowly won, yes narrowly … no mandate, the 2024 election, it looks like he’s not immune to political gravity. If he keeps pushing his unpopular agenda, Republicans might be in for a rude awakening come the 2026 midterm elections.

  • Elon Musk must be stopped!

    If the Chinese were to hack the U.S. government like Elon Musk has, it would be considered a major act of cyber warfare. Since Elon is a government contractor, he now has the power to make policy decisions that benefit his own companies and harm his competitors, following the Russian oligarch model. We are currently in a lawless realm, and this chaos is likely to continue until he is stopped. Government employees are left with the tough choice of either conforming or protecting the public. Meanwhile, Elon is busy sabotaging America’s soft power and influence in Africa, while he and other tech overlords scheme on how to avoid European regulations.

    The Senate’s top appropriator, Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, is sounding the alarm on the excessive influence of billionaire Elon Musk within the Trump administration and federal agencies. Collins believes that the Trump administration is pushing the country towards an authoritarian society where the rule of law and the Constitution are being disregarded.

    It seems that under President Trump, we are witnessing a government that caters to the billionaire class rather than the people. Elon Musk’s reckless approach to government spending is now targeting Medicare and Medicaid, as reported in a recent Wall Street Journal article. The headline read, “DOGE Aides Search Medicare Agency Payment Systems for Fraud,” revealing that Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is poking around the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. What Musk plans to do with this access remains a mystery, but I’m sure it will be nothing short of brilliant.

    The relentless onslaught by Musk to dismantle our government, upon which citizens depend—our social safety nets, Medicare, the FBI, and the CIA—causes immense harm. When Trump finally leaves office and America comes to terms with the devastation, it will take years, if not decades, to repair the damage inflicted on our society.

  • It’s time for Democrats to show some backbone

    The nuclear option is now the only viable choice. It’s time for Democrats to show some backbone. Democrats must be willing to take a stand and not back down. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) tied up the entire United States Senate for nearly a year, and Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) is putting his Republican colleagues on notice.

    Murphy made it clear on Wednesday morning that if Republicans do not start pressuring Donald Trump to rein in Elon Musk’s illegal takeover of the government, they can forget about any help passing legislation or reaching a budget deal. Democrats should not be moving forward with nominees or legislation until Republicans take this crisis seriously. They should not be giving votes to nominees or legislation until Republicans step up.

    Furthermore, Democrats should not assist Republicans in raising the debt ceiling to pass a massive tax cut for the wealthy. It only takes one senator to halt expedited confirmation of certain cabinet nominees, and Democrats should not be granting expedited confirmation to anyone until this constitutional crisis is resolved.

    Democrats need to make it clear to Republicans that there will be consequences for their actions. It’s time to stand firm and demand accountability and they follow the LAW!

  • Trumps worst idea yet … American troops in Gaza!

    President Trump, in his infinite wisdom, ( that’s a joke) decided to grace us with yet another one of his brilliant ideas on Tuesday night. He proposed that the U.S. should just casually “take over” the Gaza Strip and kick out around 2.2 million Palestinians while we’re at it. Because, you know, who needs human rights or international law when you can have a fancy new vacation spot in the Middle East, right?

    Trump, in all his real estate mogul glory, envisions turning Gaza into “the Riviera of the Middle East.” Because nothing says luxury like forcibly displacing millions of people and sending in the U.S. troops to make sure everything goes according to plan, right?

    But hey, who cares about the potential slaughter of thousands of American troops or decades of war in the Middle East, right? As long as Trump gets to play landlord in Gaza, everything will be just peachy.

    Of course, the neighboring Arab nations are not too thrilled about the idea of helping out with an Israeli expulsion of Palestinians. Even Egypt and Jordan have politely declined Trump’s generous offer to take in Palestinians during the 10 to 15-year reconstruction process. 

    But hey, who needs the Geneva Convention or basic human decency when you have Trump’s grand plan for Gaza, right? Because clearly, sending American troops into a pointless war is exactly what we need right now. I mean, who needs peace and stability when you can have Trump’s real estate empire expanding, right? Just another day in the life of the Trump administration, folks. Just another day.

    Did he accidentally veer off into the Earth 2 zone, where his thoughts have decided to play an epic game of hide and seek? I can just imagine Trump giggling behind this desk, thinking he so clever!

  • Dictator Trump looks to purge FBI … first steps to hiding crimes to come

    This week, President Trump dismissed several FBI agents due to their involvement in the January 6th case against him, despite the fact that they were merely executing their duties. This action raises concerns about his commitment to law enforcement and adherence to the rule of law, particularly in relation to his own transgressions.

    Nine FBI agents have taken legal action against the US Justice Department in an attempt to prevent the collection of information on agents who were investigating President Donald Trump. The agents, who remain anonymous for their own safety, have accused Trump’s acting attorney general, James McHenry, of orchestrating a politically motivated purge within the FBI.  We all know how FBI agents put their lives on the line protecting us. 

    The FBI agents argue that the directive to compile a list of employees involved in the Capitol riot investigation is both unlawful and retaliatory. They have requested a federal judge to intervene and prevent any further actions against the agents who were simply doing their jobs.

    It is concerning that the Justice Department has already fired officials who were involved in prosecuting Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. The FBI agents fear that the compilation of this list is a precursor to terminating their employment or taking other adverse actions against them.

    It is crucial that law enforcement officers receive support from their colleagues across the nation. We should be emailing and calling our senators and congresspersons to support them in this illegal action against them. They deserve respect and appreciation for their dedication to protecting and serving their communities, not unwarranted termination. Let us stand in solidarity with these agents and ensure that they are not unjustly punished for carrying out their duties.

  • United States Agency for International Development closed down, putting billions of dollars in foreign aid at risk

    USAID, funded by Congress, is apparently under threat of being shut down by the unelected billionaire, Musk, who also happens to run a federal advisory commission that may or may not be breaking the law. 

    In the meantime, the USAID website has mysteriously disappeared, and numerous employees have been placed on leave for refusing to comply with a questionable funding freeze imposed by Trump. Musk’s tech bros even sent out an email declaring the office closed, leaving everyone in limbo.

    Despite the lack of legal authority, Trump and Musk seem determined to close USAID, an agency created by President Kennedy in 1961. Any major changes to the agency would require congressional approval, and freezing congressionally approved funding would violate the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

    Closing USAID would have catastrophic consequences for millions of people worldwide, not to mention Americans at home. The agency plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of deadly diseases, but apparently, that’s not a priority for the billionaire class trying to take over the government.

    In the words of Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, this is a blatant attempt by the right-wing billionaire class to steal from the American people.

  • Nazi Germany 1938 coming to America under Trump in 2025

    The Trump administration has initiated a purge reminiscent of 1938 Germany, with criminals being released, police being discharged, and courts being ignored. This alarming trend is continuing with plans to fire FBI agents and DOJ officals who were involved in investigations related to President Donald Trump.

    Reports indicate that senior FBI officials have been given an ultimatum to leave the bureau or face termination by Monday. This is just one part of a larger effort to overhaul the federal government during Trump’s second term.

    How does the dismissal of essential FBI agents contribute to the safety of American citizens? Who will shield us from significant criminal enterprises and terrorist threats? Trump is a convicted felon and is exhibiting behavior consistent with that status.

    The recent developments include Kash Patel, a QAnon conspiracy theorist and Jan. 6 defender, potentially taking on a leadership role at the FBI. Despite denying the existence of an enemies list targeting deep state officials, Patel has previously written a book on the subject in 2023.

    These actions by Trump will only serve to empower Trump to break the law and trample on the legal rights and freedoms of Americans. It is imperative that we remain vigilant and stand up against these authoritarian tactics. MAGA republicans and voters can’t say they didn’t know as 1938 German voters did. You know and voted for him!

  • Trump ousted crucial aviation safety officials on day one

    It raises significant concerns that President Donald Trump dismissed multiple officials who could have been responsible for examining the crash involving a passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter in Washington, D.C.

    Instead of implementing widespread firings which is more characteristic of a TV show narrative, there should have been a strategic plan in place to gradually introduce new appointments, ensuring that there are no gaps in the critical roles being performed.

    After the departure of top administrator Michael Whitaker due to pressure from Elon Musk, who demanded his resignation in September over proposed fines exceeding $600,000 for SpaceX’s safety violations, it seems the Trump administration is on a firing spree. Trump wasted no time in axing the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and all members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee on his first day in office.

    Adding insult to injury, the Trump administration sent a mass email to 2.3 million federal employees from the Office of Personnel Management, now filled with Musk cronies, asking them to pledge allegiance to the MAGA mission or take a buyout. Even air traffic controllers, who are already in short supply, received this email reminiscent of the one sent to Twitter employees during Musk’s takeover in 2022.

    It’s clear that Trump and his buddy Musk couldn’t care less about the safety of Americans; their own personal interests take precedence.
