I got news for you guys regarding DOGE savings. You got to tally everything including the costs of all of the lawsuits which the govt will likely have to pay out.
"Neither of these estimates includes the cost to taxpayers of defending DOGE’s moves in court. Of about 200 lawsuits and appeals related to Mr. Trump’s agenda, at least 30 implicate the department.
The Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit organization that studies the federal work force, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year. At the Internal Revenue Service, a DOGE-driven exodus of 22,000 employees would cost about $8.5 billion in revenue in 2026 alone, according to figures from the Budget Lab at Yale University. "

Elon Musk and DOGE’s Savings May Be Erased by New Costs
An expert on the federal work force estimates that the speed and chaos of Mr. Musk’s cuts to the bureaucracy will cost taxpayers $135 billion this fiscal year.

Isn’t Hegseth’s new makeup studio at the Pentagon gender-affirming care?

tokay13.bsky.social
From your article "a key piece of his [Hegseth] effort to make the military more lethal". How about challenging the assumption that having trans members makes our military less "lethal". I'm sure we're lethal enough.
Also, Hegseth has a room in the Pentagon just for his own make-up. Just sayin'

When the freaking Pentagon and the likes of Goldman Sachs is more progressive than the administration it's like... holy shyt.
I mean, I don't think they're doing it out of any sort of ideological pursuit of the good, it's pure practicality for them, but it's still kinda stunning to see.

Rest In Power Kobe
[Politics] Howard Lutnick: “All those factories that you're bringing in because of your trade policy, we're gonna train people in tradecraft. Bring back tradecraft to America so that people can work in these factories” back to the old days while the rest of the world is progressing with automation.
Americans want factories but don’t want to work in factories. Lutnick don't want of his offspring working in a factor. Same thing with military involvement unless they going in as officers.

Oh we arresting judges now
Judge Hannah Dugan arrested by FBI for allegedly helping undocumented immigrant 'evade arrest'

What to know about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)The federal agency is responsible for arresting, detaining, and removing noncitizens accused of violating immigration laws.
A Milwaukee County circuit judge has been arrested by the FBI over allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant "evade arrest," according to FBI Director Kash Patel.
Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges, according to Patel.
"The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction -- after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week," he posted. "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject -- an illegal alien -- to evade arrest."

Flores Ruiz was still arrested a short time later.
"Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public," Patel said.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
