MTG view of federal civil servants:
“Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue. By the way, they’re consuming taxpayer dollars. Those jobs are paid for by the American tax people who work real jobs, earn real income, pay federal taxes, and then pay these federal employees. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks.”
Sweet, so they can cut off her paychecks, too?
Remember the Republic act about fiscal responsibility? Granted it’s a 40 year act at least, but this budget takes the cake. Massive deficit spending and tax cuts on a whole new scale.
That was my reaction as well.
Trump mocks his own deal.
“Because anybody that would sign documents like they signed where they were able to take advantage of the American people… anybody that would agree to allow this to happen to our country should be ashamed of themselves.”
what’s the percent support if we cut out “Waste, Fraud, and Abuse!” by eliminating a program with up to 3 percent of such WFA where that benefits disproportionately black or brown people and illegal immigrants and a few hundred trans people. and we show a few pictures of such people. is it still 71%?
Mike Johnson claims all protesters at Republican town halls are Democratic Party “paid protesters”. Of course, everyone else loves what Trump and Musk are doing.
Kaitlan Collins does a nice job challenging him.
This helps me understand how he gets to such a high daily post count

The important thing is, do they each have $5MM for a gold visa?
Family values.
From the Hollywood Reporter, in my Yahoo news feed:
Not sure WTF that’s saying. What’s “calamitous” if these have largely been in the public domain for years. And while releasing them via right-wing social media influencers bothers me, why would that bother Trump supporters, Conservative commentators and MAGA diehards?
Stephen Miller’s observations on the Zelenskyy-Trump-Vance debacle.
**The White House deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, called out what he termed Zelenskyy’s “impertinence” and described the showdown as “one of the great moments in the history of American diplomacy”.
“Millions of American hearts swelled with overflowing pride today to watch President Trump put Zelenskyy in his place,” Miller said, without elaborating on what public opinion information he had to justify that belief.**
The more I learn about Miller, the more of an icky Goebbels style vibe I get from him as well.
I always end up in the same place:
What happened to people like this guy growing up to be so messed up now?
Weaselette went to high school with that d-bag. He was always like that from what I hear.
It seems like the GOP and Pam Bondi were promising bombshell new revelations and all sorts of information, touting the most transparent Presidency in history, etc… And it turns out they just dripped some previously-known information to right-wing TikTok/etc. influencers
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi teased the document release in a Fox News appearance on Wednesday, after growing pressure from a handful of Republican lawmakers. She blamed the delay on efforts to protect victims’ privacy, but promised “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information” as soon as the next day.
Internet personality Chad Prather acknowledged “we didn’t get the information we wanted,” while activist Scott Presler called it “not a smoking gun.”
“What’s interesting is we’re all waiting for bombshells, we’re all waiting for juicy stuff, and that’s not what’s in this binder,” Wheeler said in a live video posted to X. “That’s not what’s in this binder at all, and that’s exactly how the attorney general presented it to us.” Most of the material was used in the trial of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, according to several news outlets.
Bondi is now blaming the FBI for withholding the files that she said she possessed.
Then the House Judiciary committee posted a literal RickRoll pretending to be the Epstein files - pretty much mocking their own constituents and the idea of transparency. It’s incredible but no longer surprising to me how the GOP is openly making fun of the people who voted for them, while downplaying child sex trafficking.
