"No one will know", he said to me.
"*I* will know", I replied.

I started a mental list of nations and their peoples to whom I feel I owe an abject apology on behalf of my own. And then I thought it would be easier and quicker to list those nations to whom no apology is owed, up until now.

A closer look at federal records shows Musk’s claims are vastly overstated, and the $55 billion figure lacks any real documentation. Share to help stop the spread of misinformation.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contractβ€”except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

The FBI has compiled a list of approximately 1,000 agents and 2,600 probationary employees as part of the Trump administration’s effort to reduce the federal workforce. Terminations are likely imminent.

Trump has granted Musk even more power to reshape the federal government by signing an executive order requiring agencies to cooperate with Elon Musk’s β€œDepartment of Government Efficiency” to reduce their workforces and limit hiring replacements.

Like most of the country, I was a public school kid. Donald Trump is openly coming after funding for public schools. He wants to abolish the Department of Education.

More proof that he doesn’t give a damn about working families.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.
