    Great, Chuck. Wish there was anyone who could do anything about it. Like a freaking US Senator or something.

    I remember that Trump/Musk ticket that ran for president. Oh wait, no I don’t, because it wasn’t a thing. Glad to see someone who doesn’t actually work for the government in any capacity and is as corrupt as they come have access to all this information. This will end well, lol. Can we deport this goon already?

    There’s a lot of waste in USAID. Shut it down, reevaluate everything and then just fund the useful things.

    To find all the criminals in congress, look no further than those clowns that were gathered outside the USAID building whining about their FREE tax funded and laundered gravy train money being stopped by DOGE... illegal moneys they're receiving though USAID. Audit time...

    Every organization has inefficiencies. I’m sure you had to toss out some rancid meat and wilted toppings at your sub shops.

    Someone has to perform those services. It’s either slash the program or fire everyone and sell off to private sector through government contracts.

    Will be interesting when Musk gets to the Pentagon.

    Is he an employee? I don't think he's drawing a salary, so I guess he's the most powerful volunteer of all time. I wonder if Musk even has a security clearance.

    I agree with your post. A first. The Democrats are being too passive. I like Kitzinger’s suggestions today around getting very disruptive and obstructionist on this group. Efficiency can be done but with a legal entity requiring open public sessions. This is a democracy still. At least for now.

    This marriage between a globalist and a populist is so weird. Like philosophically these guys are not aligned. They probably both think they’re playing each other. Of all the things going on right now this relationship is the most interesting thing imo.

    Link to Schumers net worth?

    2 second search shows this is likely social media bs.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we had actual annual public reporting of every politicians net worth and holdings?
