“Some $380M is now in limbo after reductions in the federal workforce affected staff that run a program helping low-income people pay their energy bills.

LIHEAP helps ~6M people survive blistering summers & freezing winters, many whom face greater risks now that the year’s warm season has already brought unusually high temperatures.”

Carol Ann: "If Trump thinks the EU is going to accept US food in a trade deal then he's got another thing coming. Over here people care about the #health and #safety of their #food."

Meanwhile, the health and safety of American food will get worse after the firing by #DOGE of regulators and food inspectors. #politics

#DOGE is building a massive database to surveil and track immigrants using US Government data.

Which means they’ll be able to surveil and track *anyone* in America that may displease Trump and his fascist regime. And disappear them.

You scared yet Americans too lazy to vote for the brown woman?

Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, DC, said the Trump administration could not move forward with the CFPB layoffs, which hit roughly 90 percent of the agency, until it presents more evidence about how the terminations have been carried out. https://www.wired.com/story/cfpb-terminations-paused-trump/

"$150 billion: that’s the grand total of savings Elon Musk revealed last Thursday that he and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team are expecting to make after months of ruthless and often mindless cuts from a government the billionaire Trump megadonor claimed was riddled with fraud, waste, and graft.

To call this a monumentally unimpressive number doesn’t do it justice. Musk’s “savings” here — which are already error-ridden and inflated in the first place, created by totaling up spending that never actually existed or that was, alternately, either already cut or never actually was — represent just 15 percent of the trillion dollars he originally promised he would slash. It’s a mere one-fiftieth of what the federal government spent just last year alone, would shave off only one-tenth of one year’s worth of the average federal deficit over the past decade, and is a whopping less than half a percent of the overall $36.21 trillion of US national debt.

In fact, government spending so far under Donald Trump has actually gone up compared to the last two years under Joe Biden. Three months of Musk feeding the US government through a woodchipper has done less than nothing about the ostensible problem it was meant to solve."

I kinda don’t want to participate in part 2 of the US Census.

They’ve been calling, sent FedEx deliveries and even had a US Census agent drop by the house.

But I don’t feel right, knowing they cannot protect citizen data as they claim they can from Musk and his posse.

I wonder if this isn’t the point though - to erode trust?

Probably it’s just an added benefit.
