  1. The DOJ/this Administration's unrestrained lust to inflict absolute cruelty on this man is going to make that El Salvadorian gulag seem like crumpets and tea.

     

    and that where we're at. Thanks, America

    DOGE was supposed to find a few trillion in waste, which would be offset with whatever was in this bill.

    That didn't happen, obviously.

    Of course, the real reason for DOGE, from Elon's perspective, was data mining to the nth degree.  And reward himself with lucrative government contracts.

     

     

    and how much fraud did they find?

    fraud is a criminal offense. DOJ asleep?

    I remember knowing when hurricane season started when HEB started using these paper sacks (although this is an image from one in Florida)

    as a kid, i would literally track a hurricane on that map on the sack.

    So I’m going with The Killers, because I prefer to go to shows with females rather than just dudes.

    She's up in 2026 and there's a pretty likeable guy running against her. I'm sure there will be other Ds that want to jump in the race, but this guy has a 2 pt lead against her in recent poling.

    i’d run the fuck outta that clip at the top and bottom of every hour on every TV station in Iowa for the next 5.5 years.  

    and what gives you the impression that would move the needle after what we have experienced the last 10 years or so. Yeah, we could continue to say, oh but it may sway the independent voters, but is that is even a large enough block anymore.

     

    it's a cult.

    Two other questions ask how applicants would improve government efficiency and about their personal work ethic.

    Responses must be 200 words or fewer and the memo seeks to prevent any cheating. “Applicants will be required to certify that they are using their own words, and did not use a consultant or AI,” the memo says, referring to artificial intelligence. 

    The 30-page memo, from White House Domestic Policy Council Director Vince Haley and OPM acting director Charles Ezell, implements President Donald Trump’s executive order ending diversity, equity and inclusion in federal hiring.

    The order also required that the government prioritize hiring people “committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution.”

    But Trump is also reshaping the US government’s workforce in other ways, overhauling the civil service system by giving him power to directly hire and fire as many as 50,000 jobs previously reserved for career federal employees.

     

    “What we’ve seen is an overwhelming effort to cow the workforce and frankly ensure that there’s a loyalty to the president of the day more than anything else,” said Max Stier, president of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan group focused on improving the federal workforce. 

    Asking the new questions is “deeply problematic,” he said.

    “Bluntly, it’s an almost partisan and ideological overlay without understanding the responsibilities they’re hiring for.” For example, there’s no reason why a dental hygienist at the Department of Veterans Affairs should have an understanding of Trump’s executive orders, Stier said.

    Beyond the content of the questions, Stier said adding four essay questions to an already burdensome federal hiring process can only make it more difficult for the government to hire the best workers, calling it “a recipe for dysfunction.”

    But OPM says the questions aren’t much different from those any employer would ask to make sure that a prospective employee fits with company culture.

    “It is a best practice in hiring to ask all applicants the same questions,” said OPM spokeswoman McLaurine Pinover. “The answers can then be evaluated by the hiring manager and agency leadership to evaluate whether the candidate would be a good fit for the role.”

    The federal personnel agency said the plan’s overall goal is to reduce the length of the hiring process to less than 80 days and create “a federal workforce that reflects the highest standards of merit and service.” 

    The memo also implements new skill-based assessments, consisting of at least two tests of technical skills for many jobs, and eliminates unnecessary college degree requirements for many positions.

    In 2016, Moreno called Trump a "lunatic invading [the Republican Party]" and said he could not support a party led by "that maniac".[48] He wrote in a tweet that he had written in a vote for Marco Rubio in the 2016 presidential election.[32] During a 2019 radio interview, Moreno said, "there's no scenario in which I would support Trump."
