  1. https://newrepublic.com/article/190897/reading-pennsylvania-democrats-latino-voter-problem
  2. First subcommittee for DOGE with club foot leading for the Republicans and Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), the top Democrat on the House's DOGE subcommittee (made the statement above).
  3. Well, we have reports now of Democrat Governor's forced to sue in order to restore promised funds, that were arbitrarily cut. Meanwhile, Republican Governors just go straight to Trump administration to get promised funds released. We know by level of funds it is Republican states that are far heavily dependent on federal dollars, so we can expect any "savings" to seemingly come from Democrat States.
  4. Weren't the Venezuelans the random group of migrants Trump oddly advocated for near the end of his first term?
  5. The "social security database" couldn't be more vague as the administration of SSNs is compromised of multiple systems and processes to detect fraud and misuse. If he is talking about the numident file, that is not de-duplicated because I do believe it tracks the historical changes for each unique SSN issued including name changes, death, etc. I thought you were against posting dumb shit from Twitter?
  6. So, Musk read the recent GAO reports and posts that as the result of his DOGE "work"?
  7. I get your battleground but it is certainly exhausting. Now it is bleeding into Facebook and LinkedIn. I don't know how they have the time. Of course, there are bots and it all makes the idiot army look much larger than in reality. We need to fight dirty with the bots and the flooding of outlets to alleviate that fatigue. Keep pushing forward.
  8. I doubt anybody here argues this point but within the framework of our Constitution and laws. We keep seeing the right wing using these arguments like yours quoted above, without context and it is plain disengenious, intentionally. The right has complained about "Soros" and the "deep state" for a decade now, yet we have never seen Soros or any other billionaire with this level of unfettered access ever. We have a framework for finding fraud through deep analysis with context and established audit frameworks. Use it instead and actually prosecute instead of underfunding and giving violators a pass as Republicans typically do (see US government fraudster Rick Scott). If they want to sunset whole agencies, pass the legislation. Installing a severe conflict of interest racist and his merry band of incels isn't a democratic process. It's an autocratic oligarchy doing what it pleases with no accountability or transparency (no screenshots without context or sourcing on Twitter do not count). When Putin took over Russia, he had his favored oligarchs by his side with the agreement they would never criticize him. Trump clearly has his favored bunch of billionaires in the same vain. Of course, we are going to sound the alarms when he uses a favored billionaire to destroy democratic infrastructure just like Putin. We have seen this movie before ....installing favored, State media in the White House...seen it...attack media that criticizes with lawsuits and legal prosecution..seen.it...trying to centralize democratic power into an autocracy backed by oligarchs..seen it.... Hell, we even already have the attempt to remove the two term limit, albeit a weak attempt. Putin had to wait almost 20 years to get that far and he can now be President until 2036, when he will be 84, and have served 32 years.
  9. "You know me. I'm a fear advocate, supporter of Article 1" Okay, cuck
  10. More on the 19 year old, bigballs https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/teen-on-musks-doge-team-graduated-from-the-com/
  11. This doesn't seem to move the needle for Trump supporters or the Senate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/02/07/patel-fbi-russia-lopatonok/ https://archive.ph/u9x23
  12. And less upward societal movement of poor/middle class kids. Can't be mixing our precious wealthy kids with the peasant kids.
  13. Too much touching: Inside the botched prostitution investigations at Lewisville PD - CBS Texas
  14. Only the best people
  15. Will Jerry even let the Cowboys have a running back on the roster in 2025? Who will choice coach? I want to say the last Blasko rumor on pay was $400k.
  16. Cryptocurrency scams cost Texans the most in 2024, BBB says Facebook(Meta) is doing very little in two keys areas, helping to protect against the above for cryptocurrency and child exploitation on Instagram. Inside the war on child exploitation | Cybernews
  17. Same battlecry as the anti-union crowd. "They raise your prices!" Keep your voting base poor, so they can barely afford to exist. Maintain economic control over their mind. Blame the entity that actually tries to protect them, or the one that does not affect them at all.
  18. Wife says this became official this week. The lpc board seemingly felt the law gave them no choice. Note, one can't be a therapist without having the capability of empathy for other cultures regardless of personal opinion. Commitment to learning about those different from you is part of the job, ensuring you can delete very quality service. This didn't stop the worst therapists from celebrating this change.
  19. Clown show
  20. Hegseth says helicopter crew was experienced, Trump not on same page apparently
