I mean it’s just the agency tasked with nuclear security, how bad can it be?
DOE's general counsel and IT offices told DOE Sec. Chris Wright that giving DOGE rep Luke Farritor IT access was a "bad idea" bc he hadn’t had a standard background investigation needed to access the department’s system, per a source. Wright granted him access anyways. www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/c...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area.

Trump's claim of routing water to Los Angeles is hogwash. It all goes to Central Valley megafarms.
"It’s an attempt to tie water supply to a natural disaster, but those connections don’t exist in reality.”

So why aren't our elected officials stropping it? Stand up and do your jobs. Represent the people, not your ego.
Firing top prosecutors and FBI agents. Deporting farmworkers who feed us. Letting billionaire oligarchs vandalize government agencies & access private data.
There is a pattern to this corrupt behavior.
Give Trump more power. Give the billionaires more money. Give you nothing.
