WHOOPS. Must have been the liquor talking. Guy negotiates like a Fox News host, that’s for sure.

Thats nice. This was during the transition when the State Department revised its procurement forecast. Do you not think it’s a conflict of interest for Mr. DOGE to be taking these contracts whilst working for Trump? He’s pushing for it because Tesla is failing epically in Europe.

What am I coping with? Did they not just give Elon a nice big context for his idiotic trucks? https://x.com/sawyerhackett/status/1889824335784976517?s=46&t=RLsRhQJBb5vROsgfJWkwSw

As I said. You’ve been programmed. They are removing useful programs and replacing them with stuff like this. The budget is never going to be balanced.

The government has always published where the money goes. Read the budget. USAID did too. You were programmed in about two days. I am opposed to giving Elon more money.

Cutting $25,000 from USAID to turn around and raise the debt ceiling $4 trillion and then give Elon $400 million for his awful trucks is a very odd form of fiscal responsibility. In other words, it ain’t happening.

Another poster who doesn’t understand the difference between a media outlet and an analysis product, and has thus been programmed to be mad. Sad!

Thanks President Elon 🙏

She’s an Assad bot.

Wow, it’s almost like the point of all the aid cuts wasn’t actually to help balance the budget! How interesting is that.

I'm sorry "government purchases a product from a private company" is a challenging concept for you.

They’re both products made by the parent, Axel Springer SE. if you want to argue that is “intertwined,” sure. They are not reliant on government funds. It’s the same thing as a Bloomberg Terminal.

You know what fixes this? Cutting taxes and increasing tariffs!!

Because it’s a stupid question. I doubt you actually know what one of these subscriptions costs because you’re not in an industry that needs it.

What changed?

It’s a tool used for policy analysis, nothing more. Or would you prefer government employees be less educated and efficient at their jobs?

Oh for Pete’s sake, do we have to go over AGAIN how Politico Pro is different from the media outlet?

Ukraine should not cede any territory to Russia.

That's right! The arc where she came back from the alien abduction.

It was medical records from every single Federal employee I believe. Great episode, haven't watched it in a long time.

I don’t see $15 million. As much as I like Cook and badly want him extended, that’s an awful lot. I hope the FO asks him to take $10-12 and reminds him that they need to upgrade a ton of other positions. See if he would take less to keep the “band back together” or not.

Why do you want our government officials acting like 12-year-olds?

Is Musk going to propose that we spend the money on digitizing every single one of these records? I mean that's fine, but it ain't going to be cheap.

Which is, again, unconstitutional. The Executive branch cannot change spending allocated by Congress.
