@DOGE DOGE's receipts API hasn't changed since October. Their last "update" bumped the topline by 1B with no new receipts. They've never meaningfully described how receipts are documented or what Congress codified. There's still been no accountability for the systems they compromised.

Contracts Update! Over the last 4 weeks, agencies terminated or descoped 273 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $5.1B and savings of $1.4B, including a $6.7M DHS consulting contract to “review the current organization, analyze findings, and provide industry best practices and customer-centric strategic recommendations support to transform and optimize the organizational structure and function”, a $968k DoW professional services contract for “leadership development program training”, a $10.2M DoW administrative management contract for “outward mindset training”, and an $11k DoW consulting contract for “social indicators research”.

@crazywalt77 @TimothySandefur @scottlincicome Sandefur *did* criticize Biden's dubious executive exercise of spending power. Your need to both sides the issue belies several important differences not least of which being domestic economic relief vs. unilateral foreign asset control

@tokenvoter420 @TimothySandefur @scottlincicome "Hey, it's okay that Biden crossed this despot line because he gave the money to people I like!" Either they're both despots, neither is, or you're all partisan hacks!

The significance of this exchange cannot be exaggerated. This is 1 of the most dangerous lines this admin’s crossed It’s already taxed w/out legal authority (the tariffs). Now it’s spending w/out authority—You put those 2 things together & you have despotism, not a free country.

@runrunbcn @RyanGirdusky Well fair enough I stand corrected though saying this will turn the next election still seems like a pretty big leap. It seems naturalized citizens have lower turnout than natives, for example.

@tokenvoter420 @RyanGirdusky With 2-5 years of residency in Spain, most of them can become spanish citizens and can vote, in Spain and in the EU elections as well.

Nearly 40% of all the EU’s population growth came from one country: Spain Their socialist prime minister is massively increasing immigration and granting amnesty to stop the nationalists and conservatives from winning the next election

@MilesTaylorUSA Of course it can only result in two things: 1) That the result is he lost, which he's prove he'll never admit 2) That the result is he won, which will be a lie

Buried in his interview yesterday with NBC, Trump implied that the FBI raided the Georgia election office to "find out the true winner" of the 2020 election. If that's why they did it, it's a crime -- an unauthorized & unconstitutional recount of a state's election results.

@Gorm404 @Mollyploofkins I'm pretty hopeless at this point so I'll take what I can get. Memeing as the ship goes down is the feel. The US has definitely lost any international respect we still had left and if we have any scraps of liberal democracy to rebuild with I'll be pleasantly surprised

Yeah, unfortunately the overreaction to literally everything, made us not take this seriously. Not copping out, taking accountability in fact. Just seemed like a cry wolf scenario like the rest of the ideology going on throughout those times. All we can do is say that we were wrong, idk what more you all want. I’m all ears though.

Andrew Schulz admits leftists were correct about Trump all along

@crazywalt77 @TimothySandefur @scottlincicome Biden didn't have to direct a beachhead operation that took no beachhead and extort foreign assets to waive federal gov't owned loans. Also whatever objection you take to Biden and however much you hate Americans that supported him his policy aim directly benefited Americans

@TimothySandefur @scottlincicome Could you imagine if another president tried something like that? Like spending a trillion dollars to pay off your most ardent allies' (college graduates) loans? Surely EVERYONE would say that's one of the most dangerous lines ever crossed. Right?🤔

@shipwreckedcrew Or everything about their role is ill thought out because the administration has no intention of complying with court orders

That’s because being a DHS “prosecutor” in the Biden Admin was the equivalent of a “no show” job for mobsters. No work to do so no need to show up - but still get paid. Now the job sucks because there is real work required.

@RachelBitecofer @RepJeffries Well there's a couple problems with "fairly": - any provision to ensure *everyone* eligible for an ID gets one will quickly lose R support - no amount of securing the election system will convince most Rs they lose fair elections as years of studies/improvements show

Only 20% of Americans don’t support a fairly designed ID requirement to vote and all of them are liberals. Has anyone ever told @RepJeffries how out of touch we are in this issue. It has majority support among minorities and seniors. No voter ID helps Trump claim fraud.

@kgcarney 🙏

Yall. Please stop using it. It is a mortal sin. It is soo soo bad for your soul to say such a vulgar term with our Lord’s name. It genuinely feels like a knife in my chest when I read it or even see the abbreviation. Please. Please stop.

This deserves gold medal x.com/Marmel/status/…

@RameshPonnuru Not even one peace prize?

Moore is reaching Biden levels of fabulism.

@shipwreckedcrew Like Trump said, take the guns first, due process second

You are an illegal alien. The Fed Govt violates your 4th Amendment rights. You get deported. You sue. What are your damages? How were you injured other that by getting tossed out of a place you could not legally be? Unclean hands?

@shipwreckedcrew The tiny amount of voter fraud that occurs is detected, mostly attributable to citizens double voting and the last time voter fraud meaningfully impacted an election it favored a NC Republican. Good reminder ICE supporters have no interest in law enforcement only intimidation.

If you are a citizen, why should it matter to you if ICE is near a polling station? Lawful resident aliens don't belong at polling stations. Visa holders don't belong at polling stations. Illegal aliens don't belong at polling stations.

@AGHamilton29 npr.org/2019/02/20/695…

@AGHamilton29 If you include funding to ensure anyone who is a citizen who registers on election day to provisionally vote without the appropriate ID is guaranteed a free Voter ID Republican support will shrivel quickly. PS The last time voter fraud benefited a candidate they were Republican

Support for Voter ID is an 80-20 issue. Even among African Americans. It doesn’t matter how much Dems try to demagogue or compare it to Jim Crow.

@AGHamilton29 Seemed useful in setting a precedent for Congress to vote for the release of politically useful federal investigative material however speculative. Presumably that keeps happening, with or without Congress or fanfare, considering everything Republicans have defended to this point

So here is what I will say… Anyone who closely followed the original case (including the victim civil suits) already knew most of the verified details about Epstein. Those details made it rather apparent that the main criminal acts here were recruiting young girls specifically for Epstein to pay them for sex. That didn’t mean that none of girls slept with any of his rich/famous friends and associates (in fact at least a few have been implicated). It doesn’t necessarily mean he didn’t blackmail some of those people. But the trafficking was mostly for him personally. He deserved to go to prison. So did Maxwell for her role. The entire secret pedo blackmail ring was mostly invented recently and lacks any substantial evidence. There has never been any substantial support for the idea that the rich people he sucked up to were clients in that sense. With that said, I didn’t mind the idea of releasing the files because the people who hung out w him knew he was a depraved weirdo so they did so at their own risk. That includes people like Steve Bannon who befriended him long after all of this was public. But the extent to which now people are just sharing clearly fake rumors makes it seem like a mistake. In addition, the fact that so many resources have been swallowed up by this based on a conspiracy while actual pedophiles and sex traffickers (who are still active) are getting a pass is fairly infuriating. Especially since a lot of people pushing this stuff have provided cover for such people.
