I very much hate that conservatives pulled another linguistic fast one on the American political and media apparatus by saying DOGE enough and treating it as if it’s a federal agency when it fundamentally is not. Now they’re court cases asking about its head admin when THERE IS NO ADMINISTRATION

Or the gov’t shuts down and there’s truly no single person to prevent Musk from continuing to fuck shit up in the agencies.

Is it me or does it seem clear they will use the gov’t shutdown to expedite firing federal employees while at the same time make demands from democrats. Which the Dems will give into, and then gov’t opens but republicans don’t allow federal workers to come back or refuse/slow walk their backpay.

BREAKING: NPR obtained a State Dept document revealing the Biden admin planned to allocate only $483,000 in FY 2025 for EV purchases—far less than the $400 million Drop Site revealed was being set aside for Teslas under the Trump admin (until a recent quiet revision to the procurement document).

You are a clown longing for a circus

“The professor noted that many faculty members voiced concerns about how the University’s actions will impact Penn’s “educational mission” and were upset about a “lack of proportionality between the relatively small percentage of the lost income versus the large 35% cut in [graduate] programs.””

Why am I up

AGAIN: If they actually cared about the deficit they wouldn’t also be cutting trillions in taxes for the rich.

They think we are all very dumb.

Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Such a shame

What I’m about to say is very obvious but still makes me 🧐. It is seemingly clear that the vast majority of men do not have/believe it impossible to have women friends. And that is very pathetic.

And the Dems will stop, leaving in the very people who helped purge the real civil servants. All that is to say, if we survive the next government fundamentally has to be restructured and a return to the status quo will be unacceptable.

Something I often think of is if we manage to survive this with the government relatively intact in its current form, we will need to purge the government of those who willingly participated in the vast illegal actions taken by the current admin. And conservatives will call democrats hypocrites…

OpenAI targets higher education in the U.S. with ChatGPT rollout at California State University Microsoft -backed OpenAI said on Tuesday it will roll out an education-specific version of its chatbot to about 500,000 students and faculty at California State University as it looks to expand its user base in the academic sector and counter competition from rivals like Alphabet .

“The rollout will cover 23 campuses of the largest public university system in the United States, enabling students to access personalized tutoring and study guides through the chatbot, while the faculty will be able to use it for administrative tasks.”

‘Things Are Going to Get Intense:’ How a Musk Ally Plans to Push AI on the Government 404 Media has obtained audio of a meeting held by Thomas Shedd, a Musk-associate who is now heading a team of government coders. In the call one employee pushed back and said one of the planned moves ...

New from 404 Media: inside the gov meeting where Musk ally laid out plans for data sharing across gov/AI. We got audio. In the call an employee pushed back and said the plan would be “illegal.” Musk ally said “we should still push forward and see what we can do.” www.404media.co/things-are-g...

If anyone has any literature on the U.S. and gaming/games before the 1950s I would really appreciate it.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Gotta admit, I’ve never seen plantation overseer cosplay with a full face of makeup.

You say: they shutdown USAID.

You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care.

The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.

This one at UVA Hospital.

hey question, is this bad?

Gitmo Started as a Detention Camp for Immigrants From the Bolshevik Revolution to 9/11, mass detention starts as a temporary measure and becomes an indefinite nightmare.

And I posted this once today, but I'll add it again here, because most people don't seem to realize that Guantanamo has hosted mass detention for immigrants before, with some very grim results. And that history is a key part of how it wound up used for torture and other inhumane ends after 9/11.

Their malicious incompetence is already killing people.

Daily reminder that fascists don’t hit.
