@DanielTurnerPTF @60Minutes Wrong, and you know it. Keystone XL and the 14k jobs it was theoretically going to create never existed, so no one was "fired"

14,000 keystone pipeline workers were fired day 1 of The Biden Admin and they were told to find green jobs. Did you put any of them on TV @60Minutes?

DOGE arrived at USAID on January 27. That same day, the agency’s top 58 managers were given 45 minutes to leave. cbsn.ws/414tBg6

@JoelWBerry I'm so bored with these stories. Just because you were only capable of making rice and beans doesn't mean everyone else is. I guarantee you people on SNAP know how to bargain shop for ribs and make them last a week. And let the kids have some birthday cake, my god.
English
Me and my wife and kids lived on rice and beans for years as we paid off debt. I would often go to Aldi to pick up our meager groceries for the week and would be in line behind someone buying ribs, pizza, ice cream, and soda on food stamps.
Jeremy Kauffman 🦔🌲🌕@jeremykauffman
How about we replace all of food stamps with unlimited rice and beans? If you're actually starving, then you'd be thrilled to get rice and beans. You probably don't even need to means test this program, since most people would prefer other foods.

@Cookie_BigRick @victoria4nh That is true, and it's ridiculous. Rotisserie chicken in particular is cheap and healthy and we should want people to buy it.
English
@victoria4nh I witnessed a woman in front of me at checkout paying with EBT for mostly junk food and cash for beer, lobster, and rotisserie chicken. She was complaining that EBT doesn't cover the lobster and chicken because it's prepared food.
English
I was in line at Market Basket last week. The person in front of me paid with EBT.
Their food consisted of soda, chips, and lots of junk food.
Do you think EBT cards should be restricted to healthy foods like WIC is?

🚨PALMER LUCKEY: "I am a big pro-natalist. I believe you need to have kids. If you don't have 2.1 kids minimum you're a traitor to the nation and our ideals. You're basically outsourcing responsibility for the continued existence of our nation to other people. That seems like a super elitist attitude, like you f**king elitist. 💀 It's like a mentality of 'I'll let the cattle reproduce. They can keep up the population but I don't want to raise more than one,' it seems like an abdication of responsibility for our nation's future direction that I just can't get behind. If you have the means to do it, its crazy to me to not have at least 2.1 kids. You can say 'I did my part. I met replacement rate. Meeting replacement rate should be the bare minimum. If you plan on dying you should at least replace yourself." LMAO. Based @PalmerLuckey. Based autist. 😂🔥

@oliviercantin @mattyglesias You clearly know what the fraud is, so explain the fraud. Then explain how cutting an entire program’s budget only affects those committing fraud.

@mattyglesias Matty: You know very well he’s talking about fraud, not people who qualify. You can’t expect him or anyone else to add 10 caveats to every post.

@VivekGRamaswamy “Serve healthier food in the cafeteria”
Bro your side doesn’t even want to feed kids at all so good luck with that
English
Bring back the presidential fitness test in schools. Serve healthier food in the cafeteria & start physical education in kindergarten. The best way to save on health costs in the long run is to create a healthier population in the first place.💪🏼🇺🇸

@world_citizen_1 @DOGE DOGE fanboys think the world started two weeks ago. This place has been in use since the 50’s my man. Read a goddamn book.
English
@DOGE As obviously ridiculous as this is - what's even worse is that it has never been publicly discussed until now!!
Did they plan on continuing like this for the next 100 years?!? 🙄

Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. 700+ mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process ~10,000 applications per month, which are stored in manila envelopes and cardboard boxes. The retirement process takes multiple months.
English
This has been in use since the 1950’s, and it’s analog for a reason. It’s like DOGE are a bunch of Severance innies just discovering the outside world.

@SecVetAffairs Are you going to cancel the subscriptions to the magazines in the VA waiting rooms while you're at it? Can't have taxpayer dollars subsidizing Car & Driver

Ran across a $178,000 contract VA had with Politico and we promptly canceled it. That money can be better spent on Veterans health care!

@amitylee13 @MollyJongFast Hate to break it, but they aren't going to give that research money to your kids
English
@MollyJongFast My adult kids can’t afford basic necessities like their own housing, but go on about the money the government is stealing from them to fund research which should be funded by the university endowments and the companies who profit from it.
English
I don’t think the richest guy in the world should be cutting funding for cancer research.

It’s important for us scientists to articulate that the NIH cuts are surgically cruel: designed not to save money, but to maximally implode the capacity and infrastructure for research; research that saves and improves lives around the world. Why? Just cruelty.

@NewmanZach187 @jonfavs My man you’re the one saying you want to solve world hunger. Unless you’re planning a long trip and packing a lot of snacks for everyone, maybe let the government agency specifically designed for the job handle it.

Elon now bragging about destroying an $800 million/year agency that has returned $21 billion to consumers who've been screwed by banks, credit card companies, and payday lenders, and other scammers.
Get ready for the return of credit card late fees, overdraft penalties, and all kinds of new scams

@Ike_Saul Out of curiosity, what jobs do you think racists should be allowed to have?

Balaji, this is embarrassing dude. They didn't "dig up" some old posts. The posts were from as recently as December. And they weren't subtle.
“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool." — July
"You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity... Normalize Indian hate." — September
“99% of Indian H1Bs will be replaced by slightly smarter LLMs, they’re going back don’t worry guys" — December
"I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth." — June
Why the hell would anyone spend their time defending this? He isn't 16. He's 25. And he was granted extraordinary access to the U.S. govt with the power to make fundamental changes to where my tax dollars are spent.
You guys promised the best and the brightest. This kid is a cowardly racist who was posting his true feelings behind a pseudonymous account. This is so embarrassing to try to justify/defend. Just say "we fucked up" and let him go.
Balaji@balajis
If possible, Marko Elez (@melez) should be reinstated at DOGE. If that is not possible, we should fund him to do his own startup. Let me explain my logic. 1) First, there can be no negotiation with terrorists — or journalists. Giving a single inch to a journo on anything DOGE-related would be like firing Michael Flynn at the beginning of Trump’s first term. Nothing should be done in response to anything they write. 2) Second, the entire practice of digging through people’s old posts to find some negative remark should be deprecated. Some out-of-context remarks almost never represent the whole human being. 3) Third, to my Indian-origin followers — apparently Marko made some anti-Indian comments. Of course, I don’t love that. But he’s only 25, will mature in time, and is clearly very competent. I believe in capitalism and dialogue as a way to bridge this kind of divide. Not summary cancellation. TLDR: if possible, Elon should consider restoring Marko to DOGE.
English
@JDVance It is officially the Administration's view that openly and publicly stating that you are, in fact, a racist does not prohibit your continued employment. Noted.
English
Here’s my view:
I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life.
We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever.
So I say bring him back.
If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of the team, fire him for that.

@RobertFreundLaw Don't go over and look at what law firms and legal tech claim AI is solving in the legal world.
