I thought DOGE was merely an advisory body.

Although Trump has claimed he rejects Project 2025, he is working through it line by line. The latest Agency that Musk claims to have eliminated is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: Musk tweeted "CFPB RIP", after DOGE gained access to it's systems.

Away at OT trying to keep the midfield tight and hit on the break, compared to at home against the best defence in the Championship, where you need somebody to battle with them and prevent them getting comfortable.

5 at the back, but only 1 CB, and no striker. Who else picked the team if not Juric ?

Francis Benali - the autobiography. Edit: just got to the Cortese era - Franny ended up banned from SMS and suing the club !

Musk has said the the Department of Education no longer exists, and a group of Democrat Congress members were denied access to the D of E headquarters by Dept of Homeland Security police.

And another judge places a block on Donnie and Elon.

A judge blocks DOGE access to Treasury data.

No, it was Man Utd at Old Trafford. The officials did their jobs perfectly.

But how many 'likes' do they get ? -
All your likes come predictably from the same small group, so don't overestimate your crowd appeal.

This is said to be the text of an internal email within the FBI; Uncommon Sense was a Common Vice Those with knowledge of the United States Marine Corps will recognize the irony of this title. I wish its words were not true, but as I write this, I believe they are. Currently, there is an effort to cull a significant number of career Special Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This is an unthinkable action that will gravely undermine the security of the nation well beyond what many of our citizens are aware. For those seeking to raise their awareness, I offer this vignette, free of political bias or moral judgment. It is not about any one person,but an amalgamation of multiple FBI Special Agents. I am the coach of your child’s soccer team. I sit next to you on occasion in religious devotion. I am a member of the PTA. With friends, you celebrated my birthday. I collected your mail and took out your trash while you were away from home. I played a round of golf with you. I am a veteran. I am the average neighbor in your community. This is who you see and know. However, there is a part of my life that is a mystery to you, and prompts a natural curiosity about my profession. This is the quiet side of me that you do not know: I orchestrated a clandestine operation to secure the release of an allied soldier held captive by the Taliban. I prevented an ISIS terrorist from boarding a commercial aircraft. I spent 3 months listening to phone intercepts in real time to gather evidence needed to dismantle a violent drug gang. I recruited a source to provide critical intelligence on Russian military activities in Africa. I rescued a citizen being tortured to near death by members of an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. I interceded and stopped a juvenile planning to conduct a school shooting. I spent multiple years monitoring the activities of deep cover foreign intelligence officers, leading to their arrest and deportation. I endured extensive hardship to infiltrate a global child trafficking organization. I have been shot in the line of duty. Something else about me, I was assigned to investigate a potential crime. Like all previous cases I have investigated, this one met every legal standard of predication and procedure. Without bias, I upheld my oath to this country and the Constitution and collected the facts. I collected the facts in a manner to neither prove innocence nor guilt, but to arrive at resolution. I am now sitting in my home, listening to my children play and laugh in the backyard, oblivious to the prospect that their father may be fired in a few days. Fired for conducting a legally authorized investigation. Fired for doing the job that he was hired to do. I have to wonder, when I am gone, who will do the quiet work that is behind the facade of your average neighbor?

I don't know how 'successful' you are, and I don't care. I don't know anything about you, other than that you live on the wrong side of the Pennines. All I have to judge you on is what you post on here, and my opinion of you is based entirely on that evidence.

In his own mind.

2 snippets concerning DOGE; A member of the the team given access to sensitive Treasury financial systems has resigned after reports linked him to hacking groups, some based in Russia. Also, DOGE are to be given access to the national air traffic control systems to "fix" them. Remember, no background checks seem to be being done on any of these staff.

Another day, another Executive Order, this time “...to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government”.l, specifically the order references Government agencies such as the FBI, the IRS and the Department of Justice. Trump said "We’ll work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society, and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide," The guy is a fucking loon.

Yet another lawsuit as several States launch a bid to block Musk getting access to Treasury spending data as he and DOGE do not have the necessary security clearance.
-
FBI agents have launched 2 class action lawsuits seeking injunctions against the Bureau and the Department of Justice over plans to collate and publish the names of agents involved in investigating Trump and the Jan 6th insurrection, also seeking to block the mass sacking of these agents as it is a risk to national security and public safety.

The US supplies the bombs that turn Gaza into a pile of rubble, then the US project manages the reconstruction - funded by states in the region, and the US takes the credit and profit. What a business plan.
