Cory Booker warned us . . .
You can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people. The GOP does not love the people of this county. In fact, they are in a battle against us. Even straight white men are at risk if they aren’t billionaires. They have no intention of leading us. Their goal is our subservience and submission.…

there’s a pattern
So on the socials there’s a thread by a person who lead a gov team to sandbox AI to test whether and how AI might be a useful tool. The answer was not yet but we’re still prototyping. Enter DOGE. The entire team is fired. Shortly thereafter DOGE is demonstrating this unfinished not ready for…
