Quote Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg, "Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers."

Ward Clark at RedState lists The 5 Most Controversial Examples of Gov't Waste Uncovered by DOGE (So Far).

Quote, David Sacks @DavidSacks, "The U.S. now has World War II levels of indebtedness without fighting a world war. So where did all the money go?

"Completely to no one’s surprise various low level judges, on behalf of various grifters threatened by a lack of federal funding, have issued orders telling Trump he can’t do things he and his various appointees, DOGE etc. are doing. Since Trump and his team are very far from idiots, it is obvious that they will have expected this and have plans. The good news is that a number of these rulings and lawsuits seem to be based on interpretations of the US constitution that can best be described as wishful thinking. In the case of the Treasury one, not only is the cause iffy, but the filers quite clearly judge shopped and he/they in the process very clearly violated significant chunks of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as John Lucas explains here."

I won't forget."
PJM's Vicky Taft has Another Sneaky Little Secret About the FBI. J Michael Waller @JMichaelWaller, "The @FBI considers this July 26, 1908 memorandum as its "official birth." The next attorney general can revoke it and replace it, DOGE-style, with something new, more efficient, and not harmful to American citizens. @VivekGRamaswamy @elonmusk https://fbi.gov/history/brief-."

No Nation in the World has anything like this. Our lawyers and Judges have to be tough, and protect America!" Writes Trump, this morning, on Truth Social. And let me just point you to yesterday's post — "Trump Might Have a Case on Birthright Citizenship" — about a NYT column by Randy E.

Simple quarantine process was dismissed in favor of a ridiculous slaughter. During a CBS interview today, Margaret Brennan asked Kevin Hassett what the Trump administration was going to do about food inflation, and specifically the astronomical cost of eggs. Hassett outlined the plan by first reminding Brennan that regarding spread, chickens don’t fly; ducks and geese do. I almost spit out my coffee."

"Trump and Elon are turning our values upside down." But Trump is doing what he said he would do. He was blunt and clear and he got elected. Those are "our values." I guess Dowd might mean "our" in that Pauline Kael way. I was moved to ask Grok: "What kind of people say 'not our kind of people'?""
