DOGE’s latest target—the IRS—raises major red flags, as history shows how tax records have been weaponized against political opponents. DOGE claims this is “business as usual,” but @alanindc.bsky.social warns this will expose millions to potential data breaches—undermining governmental trust.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

After Trump embraced crypto, Coinbase gave millions to PACs backing pro-Trump candidates. After Trump's win, they gave $1M to his inaugural and listed his meme coin. Now, Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Coinbase. See how this works?

So now Fox Business is preparing their viewers for "a bit of temporary pain" amid Trump-Musk's DOGE cuts, saying that "people forget that when [Ronald Reagan] came into office in 1981, he slashed federal head count and put the economy back into the double dip recession of 1980 and 1981."

The Trump administration blamed Biden for a $400 million federal government contract with Elon Musk's Tesla to build armored electric vehicles. But NPR obtained documents showing the Biden administration only approved $483,000, not the $400 million that the Trump-Musk administration wanted.

When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army. Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity. I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking. Here are some of them:

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

An entire class of nobility and then some were beheaded in France for failing to heed to universal truth that all men were created equally. It's hard to see the actions of Elon, the orange king and his Republican enablers as anything other than having lost sight of that same universal truth
