Auditing is one thing, eviscerating the federal civil service without proof of wrongdoing is another.

Musk has made broad claims of fraud but offered zero proof so far, he just repeated nonsense like condoms for Gaza and Politico money (which were like... the premium subscriptions from every Congressional office).

If there's fraud anywhere, it will be in the near-untouchable DOD, but let's see if Musk and Trump want to mess around with the MIC. I very much doubt it.

Maybe he'll cancel a few contracts of Starlkink/SpaceX rivals, because, you know, it's up to him to decide on any conflict of interest involving himself anyway...

Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV. 

Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect

He's such a genius, I love him, please trickle down your billions to me Lord Musk. 😍

Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday called for judges to be impeached for checking the power of the Trump administration, as some of its efforts to overhaul the government get bogged down in legal fights. "There needs to be an immediate wave of judicial impeachments, not just one," Musk said on the social platform X, responding to claim of a conflict of interest for U.S. District Judge John Bates, who ordered federal health agencies Tuesday to restore online datasets taken down.

Musk calls for ‘wave of judicial impeachments’

BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

🚨 House Republicans release budget resolution ahead of a markup Thursday.

• $4.5T in new deficits for tax-writing Ways & Means Cmte

• $4T debt limit hike

• $110B for Judiciary Cmte, $90B for Homeland Security Cmte (which oversee immigration)

• A “goal” of cutting mandatory spending by $2T

The House GOP plan calls cut taxes by $4.5 trillion - partially offset by more than $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid & SNAP

So they wanna do a giant tax cut that disproportionately helps the rich while taking away people's health insurance and food while still adding trillions to the debt.

House Republicans just released a budget proposal that would gut Medicaid and food stamps to pay for $4.5 trillion (or more!) in tax cuts for billionaires.

That’s on top of adding $3.3 trillion to the deficit. So much for fiscal responsibility.

America's economy is so cooked, but what won't be cooked is those eggs, cause Americans won't be able to afford any.

Breaking news: Inflation heated up more than expected in January, as prices continued to weigh on Americans in 2025, potentially complicating President Trump’s agenda.

No, this was the dumb fucks agenda, Lol.

Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say | AP News

Don't worry US-Americans, Trump will have some nice deals with Putin about trillions worth in resources, AI technology and more. Cheap resources from Russia for some technology wisdom from USA to push Russia's possibilities to build better technology to spy on you, manipulate your social media and fight against Europe. But your economy will be helped by it so everything is fine! Your economy will boom even with less trade with those stupid Canadians or Europeans!

America right now is proving why 'Freedom' is only good if it is counter-balanced by 'responsibility'.

My gas prices have already spiked by 20 percent.

Hard not to look at America with nothing but disgust lately, only hard because I have American friends but everything about America disgusts me lately, I get swept up in the anger towards it and look like I'm trashing all Americans which isn't my intention but damn do I hate America right now, Lol. Shit America is making me low-key nationalistic about Europe as a whole, Lol.

America is about to host two modern equivalents of Hitler in the span of a few months; Putin and Netanyahu, both internationally wanted war criminals responsible for the deaths of tens-hundreds of thousands, Trump is getting chummy with them both and inviting them for tea and biscuits as we'd say in Britain, it makes me sick. There's only one greeting Putin should receive touching down in America but I'm sure if I said what it was I'd get some bed wetter telling me I'm wrong for wishing that on a genocidal freak.

Same greeting Putin should receive touching down on any North American or European country.

To be more "civil" I will instead say the only thing Putin and his allies deserve a Nuremberg Trial, found guilty and then hung by the neck.

If only Europe had the balls to force Putin's plane down. But even France just opened their air space for Netanyahu to fly to the US and back.

Heck air space should be closed indefinitely until Russia gets out of Ukraine. As long as business > people's lives, nothing will change.


Meanwhile Trump has already extended the deadline for Israel to pull out of Lebanon, which Netanyahu wants to extend further again. (They were supposed to be out of Lebanon on January 25th, now February 18th) Jet fighters are buzzing over Beirut again today. The Israeli cabinet is approving going back to full scale war in Gaza with the green light from Trump who changed the ceasefire deal into the impossible, release all hostages this Saturday or back to war. And Trump reversed the few sanctions on terrorist settlers and entities, giving his full support for further annexation of the West Bank.

So much for Peace President, the only thing he's successful in is uniting the Arab world against the USA.

Of course there never was intent to continue the ceasefire, the aid never fully came through, unreasonable restrictions are still hindering as much as before the ceasefire, plus the aid quickly dwindled down again after the first few days. Daily violations by Israel go on ignored, with the US as guarantor there are no guarantees nor restrictions for Putin / Netanyahu. The ceasefire was just a PR stunt for Trump, a few weeks stay of execution for 2 million Gazans while 3 million people in the West Bank are still under fire.

It will be same with Ukraine. Accepting a ceasefire will just mean Russia can continue destroying where they are now, just like Israel keeps destroying Southern Lebanon and parts of Syria. The only difference will be Ukraine won't be allowed to defend themselves any longer.
