If they were smart they would just conspire to each write two or three pages of BS and tie DOGE in sorting it out for months if not years. 🤫

I do not think DODE intents to read any of them, DOGE just wants to see who does not respond.

And if everybody responded with 3 pages of bullshit the bluff would've been called.

It is more of a "ping" than a bluff.

It was a bluff after all:

And the USPS could use the extra budget allocations to get into the black. We'd still save a bundle.

Is this for the Columbia class submarines ?

That's for the "startup and program management costs" of the program like concept to preliminary design as well as all the other associated administrative costs like paying "support contractors" in the Navy program office that oversees the design.

Also I remember from intermediate acquisition training at Defense Acquisition University that on average about 9% of the total cost of a major acquisition like Columbia class submarines goes to "program management" which includes the program office in Washington DC, the contractor's managers and engineers, etc.

The worst crime ever committed against innocent workers is happening again. The New York Times ran the story yesterday, headlined “Federal Workers Will Get Another Email Asking Them to Detail Accomplishments.” Cue the wailing and crying.

The new email, which began streaming into federal inboxes yesterday, was hilariously titled “What did you do last week? Part II.” Just when they thought it was safe to go back in the office.

Like last week’s infamous email, yesterday’s email directed federal workers to draft five bullet points describing what they accomplished this week. But —striking terror into the Swamp— it also said that, going forward, employees would be expected to complete the task every week before midnight each Monday (EST).

No, pretty sure it's a hoax.

It's fun to watch the pathetic money starved thrashings of the Deep State. These credibility reversals descend to self mockery, after years of watching them 'get away with it'.

I like their creative word, clinic! to push their agenda to go against India.

Yesterday, KCRA-Sacramento ran a delightful little story headlined, “Gov. Newsom orders California state workers to return to office 4 days a week.” Oh, the irony.

Like federal workers, the last thing California’s state employees want to do is come back in to the office. But yesterday, Governor Newsom emitted an odious order requiring four weekdays’ mandatory attendance starting July 1st.

One horrified state worker told KCRA that he thinks it will take away from his work-life balance. “I know one of the things they're going to say about us coming back, is for collaboration purposes, but like honestly, we do a lot of collaboration on Microsoft Teams, and that works great," he explained mournfully.

The local SEIU president snipped that Newsom’s order was “out of touch, unnecessary and a step backward.” I guess you can stop progress. Or, “progress.”

Media tried everything it could think of to explain how Newsom’s order was not copying President Trump. “Unlike President Donald Trump,” the Sacramento Bee patiently explained, “Gov. Gavin Newsom's orders for state workers to return to their offices four days a week is not punitive.”

Readers were left to guess how the California work requirement was not punitive.

What’s next? Will Newsom ask his state workers for a four-point bullet list of work accomplishments? Will he start tweeting in all caps?

A DOGE dividend!

In one case, a 157 years old individual received $36k in loans.

During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Elon Musk suggested that he'll be assassinated if he goes too deep into the corruption in DC.

"It's more than just insider trading. The stock portfolio stuff is quite trackable, but it's a lot more than insider trading," said Musk.

"The way they're acquiring wealth?" Rogan asked.

...pause...

"Correct," replied Musk.

"And what other methods," asked Rogan.

"I mean this is really gonna get me assassinated," Musk replied. "It's like, I'm not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff, to say the least. I mean, I was supposed to go back to DC. How am I going to survive? This is fucking going to kill me for sure," Musk continued.

"In fact, I do think like this... it's like, I actually have to be careful that I don't push too hard on the corruption stuff because it's going to get me killed."
