I consider myself Centrist and have voted for people in all parties in the past but stopped voting for any Republican after Trump got elected the first time. R’s need to clean house if they want votes from anyone other than koolaid swillers in the future. But spare me the purity tests from the left.

This is a fork of the former Openlens but true open source and community supported. Works the same.

“Nice business you have. It’d be a shame if something happened to it.”

The documents are there, if you scroll down. I’m reading them now and not seeing this “irrefutable evidence” she speaks of, though.

I think she assumes RW media will parrot this as evidence and the base won’t bother to actually read it. But smart people won’t fall for it.

Does anyone know how many tanks were in the actual parade vs how many were shipped to DC?

I am sleeping with you

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I’m pretty sure he recreated his mugshot with better lighting as his official portrait to look tough but it really just looks like he’s 💩ing himself.

Billionaires are vastly outnumbered. Just saying.

Are you telling me that a bunch of numbnuts appeared before Congress and the media yesterday and lied their asses off about this? Preposterous!

Wouldn’t be funny if people started making guillotines out of those Cybertruck panels that keep flying off?

If you are waiting for the Democrats, as a political party, to save us from fascism, I don’t see it happening. They’ve been allowing the GOP to move the goalposts for years and we’re not even playing on the fucking field anymore.

Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act: Cutting Waste and Fraud in Government At a signing ceremony in the State Dining Room, President Obama signed the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act - a law designed to cut $50 billion in improper payments by 2012.

What Is the Obama Administration’s Technology Legacy? The administration pushed aggressively on cloud adoption, data center optimization and IT modernization, but the OPM breaches were a setback that spotlighted cybersecurity.

That President who modernized government and cut waste was Obama. Imagine if the current public discourse involved comparison and contrast as to how Obama did it better than what Trusk is doing now. 5/6

Yet there is nary a mention of this prior modernization and cost-cutting effort and most people seem oblivious that it even happened because it wasn't front-page news. Too boring for headlines, I guess. 4/6

It fascinates me because I personally watched it play out in real-time and it was something that I was keenly aware of due to my being in the tech industry and actively paying attention to the efforts. 3/6

And, in contrast to the current lawless butchering going on, they did it largely with the cooperation of Congress, requiring different federal agencies to submit detailed itemized budgets and expense lists for review. Doing forensic accounting, following the Constitution and the law, et al. 2/6

One thing that irks me about this chicanery with Musk's DOGE is that we recently had another President who made modernization of government systems and waste-cutting a priority for their administration and they did not get nearly enough credit. 1/6

I guess they’re too stupid know where the word Dakota comes from. Probably homeschooled.

This seems to strongly indicate that security clearances were freely given without background checks. Elon likely does not want his DOGE simps doxxed because of pesky details like this. 4/4

In a normal world a person like this would NEVER pass a background check to get security clearance for the government systems that DOGE employees have been given unfettered access to. 3/4

The TL;DR of this is that Edward “BigBalls” Coristine aka “Rivage”, the 19 year old member of Elon’s DOGE team has been involved for years in The Com, a large underground cybercrime network and was fired from a previous job he only held for three months due to leaking data to competitors. 2/4

Teen on Musk’s DOGE Team Graduated from ‘The Com’ Wired reported this week that a 19-year-old working for Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was given access to sensitive US government systems even though his past associ...

Brian Krebs is a well known cybersecurity expert and journalist I’ve known about for years. He’s broken a lot of stories about data breaches. 1/4

USAID Spent $1 Million On Elon Musk’s Starlink Terminals In The Last Year USAID and SpaceX worked together to support Ukraine’s war effort against Russia, and provided internet to multiple African countries.

Maybe Musk thinks USAID is a criminal organization because he’s been doing crimes with the money they gave him. 🤔

There is no acceptable reason that they should have access while career employees at the Treasury are locked out and have absolutely no visibility. We cannot trust that they are not putting in back doors for themselves or state actors from adversaries like Russia.

Even if DOGE access is removed, we will need a full security audit on these and any other government systems that they have accessed by a 3rd party, not internal “experts” hired by this corrupt administration.

I have not heard of this author, Nathan Tankus, before. But per his reporting and others, Musk’s henchkids have write access to the Treasury’s PAM (Payment Automation Manager) system at BFS (Bureau of the Financial Services) and are actively changing source code despite WH claiming otherwise.

Just checking in, I know it’s been a rough week for many of us… how is everyone doing?
