Trump was asked yesterday about Putin increasing strikes on civilian targets after we cut off inteI: β€œHe’s doing what anybody else would do. I think he’s hitting them harder than he’s been hitting them. And I think probably anybody in his position would be doing that right now.”

β€œDid Russia invade Ukraine” is becoming the new β€œDid Joe Biden win the 2020 election?” β€” a test that lets us know whether someone believes in democracy or is willing to trade it for their own personal ambition β€” and that should make us all very, very disturbed.

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

Better not call it a β€œvaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

🚨🚨🚨
Musk and Trump fired 1000 VA staff, including staff working the Veterans Crisis Line. That’s confirmed.

Musk and Trump are firing Veterans across federal agencies. That’s confirmed.

NOW is the time to make some noise.
NOW is the time to stand firm.

Make every day a living hell for them.

We are less safe today than we were yesterday. And every day from now on, whether American intelligence agencies are functioning properly will be a question hanging over us all.

This new EO signed today appears to create DOGE as a shadow government across the entire federal government. Each agency/dept will be assigned a DOGE minder who will work with the Secry or Director and essentially be in charge of all new hiring and/or firing. People have been saying the Elon is ...

Kristen Grind, my San Franciso-based NYT colleague, and I went through every federal investigation/lawsuit targeting Musk companies. What did we find? At least 11 federal agencies targeting Musk companies have seen leadership disruptions/changes that could undermine these efforts -- and benefit Musk

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Musk’s Lackeys Seize Control of Social Security Check System The world’s richest man now has access to the sensitive personal information of millions of Americans.

Elon Musk has forced his way into the system that pays your Social Security checks and tax refunds.

He likely now has access to your Social Security number.

Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else
