Imagine if 300 million people did not pay their taxes. I guess that would give them the excuse to kick in everybody’s door, just what they’d like…

I love how Elmo is normalizing this federal government employee purge by calling this a “program.” It’s not a program, it is an illegal purge by an unelected billionaire and his tech bro friends.

In all seriousness, who’s gonna arrest them and on what authority?

Program, Pogrom, the words sound very similar.

Well, we have fake INS “officers” running amok in Philly; fake INS vehicles freaking people out in nearby West Chester, PA and Kennett Square, PA (home to the nation’s largest mushroom growing industry with lots of Latino employees).
I’m close to jumping into the car with Ms. Brutus with a baseball bat and going on patrol for these sick INS-inspired motherfuckers and beat the shit out of them.

I know. I mistakenly wrote pogram first, then corrected it. It does make sense, sadly.

I didn’t see it with the typo. I was commenting that this program is the devastation of our federal employees.
Probably not a good comparison based on what happened to Jewish people in the pogrom.

No, no. I fixed it before I first published it. I also didn’t want to make the comparison of a Czar-era Jewish pogram.

“I don’t mind the disruptive thought process that we’re going through now. And then we’ll have to figure out to what extent this is something that can be done by the administration. If so, great. Otherwise we have to set about the work to authorize whatever kind of changes we all agree are necessary.” [emphasis added]
He went on to say, “And by ‘we all agree are necessary’ I mean whatever Trump and/or Musk tell us are are ‘necessary.’”

He’s in a safe seat. If there’s a huge groundswell of rebellion against trump-musk (likely), he won’t be so blasé.

Numbers probably greatly inflated and inaccurate — JM pointed out earlier today on Bluesky.

North Carolina Senate seats are safe for Repubs. Have been since Kay Hagen lost a decade ago.

I am still trying understand why the tariffs on China are so much lower than the tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico.

My new nickname for my PA Senator John Fetterman is Senator Sinema. He was the lone Democrat to vote for Pam Bondi as AG. Yay!

If there’s ever a breakup there — which many in Washington predict, given Trump’s dislike of being eclipsed — Republicans may find some new opposition to Musk’s power grab.
This will take place after Elon has already absconded with the keys to the kingdom, of course. Remember, Felon47 is “a very stable genius” – his uncle taught at MIT!

Why aren’t journalists trying to find out who is tampering with computers and code that controls Treasury bond interest payments to China, Saudi Arabia and other sovereign investors? This is happening in broad daylight and is of great public interest. I think it is unfair to blame President Musk for the bad PR from the activities of rogue elements. He is entitled to a good and rapid return on investment for the $250M he spent to buy the office he holds.
Separately, Reuters and the Washington Post are reporting that Gaza will be the next US state. Cuck and Wanky will be rushing in to build the first cheesy resorts, slot machines, massage parlors, strip clubs, and hotels in the prime and sunny Mediteranean location soon after the locals are deported to Guantanomo Bay. I was naively thinking that Greenland, Canada or Ukraine were going to become states first simply because they serve our national security and military interests better and have more minerals. However, Gaza has better weather, more beachfront, and is more golf-friendly. The Land of Gaza, Welcome to America!
