After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.
Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.
🧵
It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

Summer is Teriyaki time! All you need is some great fish, and a great Teriyaki sauce. We have the great fish and now we can also help with the sauce. After several requests, we’ve added our umami-bomb Teriyaki Sauce recipe to our website. Just visit: thedistrictfishwife.com/post….

The Onion is not playing today.
ALT The front page of The Onion satirical website where every article has the headline: "No Way to prevent this says only nation where this regularly happens." Locations for each article are locations of mass shootings in the past year.

Republicans are getting very upset people keep retweeting this ad so I figured I would post for any of you who haven’t seen it yet and then I am going to retweet myself tonight.

If this isn’t a five alarm fire to keep Republicans out of power, nothing is. Donate to voter registration groups in key swing states and expand our Senate majority.

It is not acceptable for corporate America to make huge profits ripping off working families at the gas station, at the grocery store, or at any other sector of our economy. We have got to put an end to corporate greed.
Ben Friedman retweeted
in the coming weeks, a lot of consultants are going to be quoted in a lot of stories putting forward various ways for democrats to save themselves from disaster in november. but the answer is clear if you read any poll or talk to any voter: take real action on corporate greed.

According to a new Gallup poll, 112 million (44%) Americans are struggling to pay for healthcare, and more than double that number (93%) feel that what they do pay is not worth the cost. Yes. It's time for a health care new system. It's time for Medicare for All.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

The underlying problem is not inflation. It’s corporate power. The entire American economy is concentrated into the hands of a few greedy, corporate giants with the power to raise prices.

Why is the price of oil LOWER today than it was in 2014 while the average price for a gallon of gas nationwide is 80 cents a gallon HIGHER than it was eight years ago? Answer: Corporate greed. Now is no time for profiteering. Now is the time for a windfall profits tax.

"why are prices so high"
Companies are on track to do a record $1 trillion in stock buybacks this year - twice as much as five years prior.
Remember that the people who set prices are swimming in record profits and using the money to enrich themselves

Inflation soaring because (1) supply bottlenecks still pushing costs up, (2) oil prices surging due to Putin's war, and (3) hugely-profitable corporations (including energy) are passing higher costs on to customers rather than eating them.
Time for a windfall profits tax!
