Some House of Representatives bitch just said that it is her prerogative to object to the vote because it was certified by “unelected” officials. Oh, so judges are now just unelected nobodies, huh? Appointments only mean something when it benefits them personally. Fuck her, and fuck the Republicans.
For @unelectedofficial
Nick Chopper shuffled from one foot to the other, looking around the room, cursing himself beneath his breath. He was always unsteady on his feet, always some kind of nervous. His trusty axe was strapped to his back, though he wove his hand back to make sure it was there anyway. Force of habit. He bit his lip from addressing the woman by the nickname he had heard the munchkins give her. He wasn’t a munchkin. Only loved one. And he felt, in a certain way, that gave him some ground in his opinions. Nick cleared his throat.
“Miss..Ma’am. I--” He started again. “Good afternoon. I have been hoping to speak with you for sometime.”
How many tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of emails will this generate?
Who is going to review them? How long will that review take? What criteria is being used to assess the replies?
Karoline Leavitt had no answers when asked about the fraud Donald Trump and Elon Musk are supposedly eliminating.
After allowing Elon Musk and his college-aged Department of Government Efficiency groupies to root around federal agencies for weeks, the Trump administration apparently still hasn’t uncovered any fraud or abuse.
During a press hearing on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt waved around screenshots of “contracts upon contracts” that she claimed DOGE had “found” in the government. But as she ran through a list of the financial arrangements—some of which had to do with diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts from previous administrations—it became clear that the DOGE-targeted contracts didn’t constitute fraud but instead were simply “against the president’s policies and his America-first agenda.”
“Are all those things you just mentioned fraud? Or are they just contrary to the president’s policies?” pressed CBS News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs.
“I would argue that all of these things are fraudulent,” Leavitt responded. “They are wasteful, and they are an abuse of the American taxpayer’s dollar. This is not what the government should be spending money on. They are contrary to the president’s priorities and agenda.”
Having federal line items that go against the grain of the president’s agenda doesn’t constitute fraud. Yet instead of providing legitimate receipts to back up that claim, Leavitt took the populist route, beckoning the American people to judge the media for daring to question Trump’s agenda. Leavitt further implored journalists to consider the Trump administration’s rationale, even though Musk has been granted free license to shrink federal oversight under the apparently faux banner of uprooting fraud.
“If anybody in here wants to argue that the federal government is not fraudulent, be my guest because I think that the American people at home would beg to differ,” Leavitt said.
So far, Musk’s team has gained access to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Education, Commerce, Defense, and Energy Departments, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and, among other agencies, the Federal Aviation Administration. (That last one comes during a period in which the U.S. has experienced an unprecedented uptick in critical aviation accidents, with four deadly crashes taking place since Trump took office. Before 2025, the last deadly crash involving a U.S. airliner was in 2009).
Through all these agencies, Musk has extracted sensitive data on hundreds of millions of Americans, including their Social Security numbers, home addresses, and medical histories.
