Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that the #Trump’s admin claims to have canceled as part of its cost-cutting program are NOT expected to save the #US govt ANY MONEY, the admin’s own data shows.
#DOGE, run by #ElonMusk, published an updated list of nearly 2,300 contracts that agencies terminated in recent weeks across the #FederalGovernment. Data published on DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts” shows that <⅓ of the contract cancellations, 794, are expected to yield NO SAVINGS.
"Ordinary Canadians must prepare, not for war but for chaos—economic, political, social, cultural. If your neighbour’s house is on fire, yours eventually will be too."
"Trump’s comments on #Canada
must be put in this context. 👉 He has to keep the world afraid of him, because the moment that stops, his power collapses. He is attempting to spread loathsome anarchy everywhere, not just here."

It has been noted that Elon Musk has positioned himself within the government in a way to try to avoid any liability for his actions.
In a filing Feb 17, an official in the Trump Administration says that Elon Musk is not the Administrator in charge of DOGE.
He’s a Advisor to the President, per declaration. That's it.
Think about this, it's a coup.

Fucking #FASCIST! In Dutch we have a word for this, 'kinderbeul'. In English that translates literally to 'child executioner', although it has a slightly different meaning. But this time it's not far from the truth. This week is clearly showing what he is; A FASCIST DICTATOR!
For everyone having a #transgender child or teenager as a family member or friend, or being a transgender child/teenager yourself, if you somehow read this: You have an immense number of allies! 
We've got your back!

The Guardian: *Trump signs executive order to curtail gender transition for people under 19*
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/28/trump-executive-order-transgender-transition
"Donald Trump has signed another executive order aimed at the transgender community on Tuesday, this time prohibiting gender transitions for people under the age of 19. …"
[Sorry for using the Guardian, but I couldn't find anything reliable non-US so fast. I say this because the Guardian had some negative (opinion) articles in the past.]

"A private citizen with zero Constitutional authority is effectively seizing control of critical government functions. 🚨
The Constitution explicitly requires Senate confirmation for anyone wielding significant federal power — a requirement Musk has simply ignored"
Here’s a thread with links to articles about the #ElonMusk takeover of the US #government.

Here is the beginning of the 3rd #thread on Elon Musk's takeover of the US government:
Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew

"Musk’s team, known as the Dept of Govt Efficiency, has already thrown entire swaths of the federal #government & its programs into disarray — programs that serve millions of #Americans.
#Musk himself has made no secret of his intentions, saying that #DOGE is a “wood chipper for bureaucracy” and that he is “deleting” agencies."
