US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ranking Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) released a Minority staff report unveiling that Elon Musk's brainchild, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has generated at least $21.7 billion in waste across the federal government between 20 Jan 2025 and 18 July 2025. The report, "The $21.7 Billion Blunder: Analyzing the Waste Generated by DOGE," follows a months-long investigation into Elon Musk and DOGE and is the most comprehensive effort to date to quantify taxpayer dollars squandered by DOGE despite its ostensible goal of eliminating government waste.

The US Department of Energy discovered a radioactive wasp nest near the Savannah River Site (SRS) nuclear waste facility in South Carolina. The nest was found to have ten times more radiation than permitted levels. The wasp nest was found near tanks that are being used to store millions of gallons of liquid nuclear waste. The nest was sprayed with insect killer, removed and disposed of as radiological waste. Wasps generally fly only a few hundred feet from their nest and the nest was found in the middle of the 310-square-mile SRS meaning there is little chance they flew outside of the facility. Investigators say that the radiation was not related to any nuclear waste leak and that there was no impact on the environment or the public. read more

#131: Last year I was playing Bridge when in-between hands I remarked that the IDF had killed ~25,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
A white woman at my table responded that one Palestinian man had 'horribly' raped a woman in Paris.
I informed this female slice of white Christian bread that rape is the most common crime in France, perpetrated mostly by French predators.
Palestinians aren't allowed to have criminals within their people, like other nationalities, right?

#6: Trump is the perfect example of failing upwards.
This a true phenomenon that occurs in the USG. Promote somebody up to a desk job and away from the field where they could do more damage. I saw several examples of this during my career.
Now we have this imbecile in charge of the most powerful military and largest economy in the world: static.wikia.nocookie.net
