GAO checked DOGE's math and found the receipts were fiction. Over a quarter of claimed contract savings were never terminated at all, and DOGE just ignored the government's own questions. Two trillion promised, a fraction delivered, and Musk still won't answer for it.

DOGE claims unravel in scathing new government report

A new government watchdog report delivers a blistering rebuke of DOGE, the Elon Musk-led cost-cutting initiative, finding it repeatedly overstated its savings and took credit for cuts it didn't actual...

I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money.  Meanwhile, Ashley Moody is being bankrolled by the utility companies jacking up your prices. One of us is fighting for you, and the other is bowing down to billionaires.

The FCC just voted to scrap the rule preventing a single company from owning TV stations that reach more than 39% of American households. This opens the door to more media consolidation, fewer independent local voices and billionaires controlling what millions of Americans see as “local news.”

61 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law thanks to the hard work and perseverance of civil rights activists. This year, Trump’s Supreme Court gutted it. They are playing with the blood of our ancestors. Honor their legacy. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Of course Fauci had to take the 5th on every question, & his lawyer,or any lawyer, would so insist. Once you start dancing with the devil on the color of the carpet or day of the week, you're on the path to a perjury trap. The outrage is so palpable given Fauci's exemplary record as a public servant

At a time when misconduct complaints involving DOJ lawyers have reached never-before-seen levels, Todd Blanche has shut down the DOJ's internal discipline agency. This means state bars should no longer defer to DOJ for misconduct investigations involving DOJ personnel.

I don't think the full Senate would green light the Fauci referral for contempt. Similar dynamic as with Blanche. But Paul thinks he has a parliamentary maneuver to bypass a full Senate vote; and all bets are off if the referral comes to DOJ. Anatomy of a gross injustice with Paul as Torquemada.

Since 2017 Trump has been running America into the ground, grifting everywhere, & cozying up to dictators. Republicans are complicit. He only cares about himself, money, & power. "Hope is the ability to see there is light despite all the darkness" - Desmond Tutu. Vote blue on 11/3/2026!

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

What’s happening is that America’s liberal majority is fed up with being told they need to hold the center while the political right moves more and more to the extreme. The status quo is everything getting worse, and they’re over it.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

Why Hospital Policies Matter in States That Ban Abortion

Our first-of-its-kind data analysis found that a seismic split emerged in how medical institutions in Texas' two largest metro areas, Houston and Dallas, treated miscarrying patients — and in their ou...

in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon

They reflexively booed when Lombardo mentioned the officer because the racist pieces of shit who go to these Trump rallies heard an Arabic-sounding name. Austin Abdelnabi was a Marine veteran killed in the line of duty. bsky.app/profile/atru...

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently
