"DOGE’s objective was never to save taxpayer dollars. Musk did not 'fail'...DOGE was—and remains, through Vought’s OMB—an effort to extinguish the existing government and create a new one in the image of oligarchs and far-right ideologues."
From rural elders forced to live in dilapidated homes to families abandoned in the midst of carbon pollution, real people are experiencing material harms as a result of DOGE’s attacks on the administrative state.
DOGE Lives On Through Russell Vought
Trump’s White House OMB director has quietly institutionalized the government demolition agenda set in motion by Elon Musk’s wrecking crew.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

This is where Liam Ramos is being held.
They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions.

This is why I told y'all that messaging that centers training is/was a mistake. You cannot train away the mission, the racism, or the impunity. This shit just makes the violence more expensive. Also, if this is true, it's a bitch ass move by Senate Dems, and people should be harsh af about it.

Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people.
Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet.
