Jesus, this testimony from Tiffany Flick, who has since resigned from her position at SSA, about what happened when DOGE arrived, is hard to read. But everybody should read it. Because this is the reality of what’s happening.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

Every day, I give up

Survival is a ritual,
a ceremony, and
a practice.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

We've reached the first inevitable crossroads.
The question, which is clearly answered in the Constitution, is: "Does the executive branch have to obey the judicial?"
What happens if the executive branch says "my ball, my rules"?
Stay tuned.

This is what employees at the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau woke up to this morning.

And their website is offline. It looks like Vought shuttered the agency without notice.

This would be another illegal EO by the Orange Idiot.
Congress is who creates these agencies and only congress can defund or disband them.
