The latest talk on the DOGE dividends involves $5,000 payments to every household. I could use the money, but that would blow a hole in the deficit greater than the money that would be saved. https://www.rawstory.com/doge-divident-fishback/

I wonder by Russia's occupation of Ukraine gets a lot more press than its occupation of the White House...

The DOJ directed its prosecutors to investigate state and local officials who don’t comply with ICE directives in order to potentially bring criminal charges. “There is no such crime as failing to help ICE do its job,” said a constitutional law scholar.

@Nonilex I've been posting about this since just a few hours after the doge website went live. All of the data from those contracts is public record. It's super easy to verify. I have yet to find a single doge entry that is correct.

@AlliFlowers That's just the spending #muskrat couldn't hide. Who knows how much more is hidden as chainsaw oil or some other such nonsense.

#Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished US DHS data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals & returns in the last full year of Joe #Biden's administration.

Israelis gathered along the highway in the country’s south to watch the coffins travel by convoy to Tel Aviv for forensic examination. #Israel’s govt has not confirmed the deaths of Shiri, Ariel & Kfir, saying it will verify the identities of the deceased only after the examination.

…It is unclear how Shiri #Bibas & her sons were killed. #Hamas alleges that they were killed by an Israeli airstrike but has not provided any evidence.

Keep ‘em coming

Lawyers for CBS say they plan to demand that #Trump, who is allegedly letting DOGE [sic] pillage U.S. treasury data, according to multiple lawsuits, fork over his own personal finance information to the network.

The new administration has vowed to reduce wasteful government spending, so I made this guide to help people understand how that works.

#Hamas released the bodies of 4 hostages Thurs, including…the remains of a mother & her 2 young children, members of the #Bibas family, whose story came to symbolize the brutality of the #Oct7, 2023 attacks.

…The deaths of Shiri Bibas & her sons—Ariel, who was 4yrs old, & Kfir, who was 8½ months old at the time of the abduction—were suspected for months, but only confirmed when Hamas announced their bodies would be among those released.

Governor Pritzker gave quite the State of the State address yesterday. He compares how under his tenure Illinois is growing stronger economically and in protecting civil rights, while Trump is making the nation weaker. If I didn't already live here, after hearing this speech I'd move to Illinois. #Illinois #Chicago #Pritzker
