Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Pete Hegseth, in his Fox commentator days, about Hillary Clinton's emails: "Everyone knows what top secret means. … If you’re hiding that on a private server, that’s a very real problem and likely criminal charges [should] follow" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

The story of Elon scamming the Canadian government out of 43 million dollars in EV tax credits should be getting more attention than it has.

A group of Musk staffers attempted to take control of California’s water pumps during the devastating wildfires. Inspired by Trump, the mission involved direct pressure on federal officials and even a failed attempt to activate the pumps themselves.

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints.

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Them's some cracking slacks, yo!

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Lawyers James Burnham, Keenan Kmiec, and Noah Peters have been identified, as well as other DOGE-affiliated staff like Anthony Armstrong, Jennifer Balajadia, Stephanie Holmes, and Adam Ramada.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Musk killed these people.

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

WIRED has been doing vital work.

If you’re looking to support good journalism right now, subscriptions are cheap.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

Such a bold statement, Chuck. That'll show 'em!

1,100 EPA employees have been notified of imminent termination.

Elon Musk has infiltrated the U.S. Treasury Office to identify ways to cut off funding for various projects, prompting the abrupt retirement of the Treasury official responsible for overseeing the government’s vast payment system.

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.

1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers.

It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."

From a RW source:

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).

We strongly urge you not to resign and recommend seeking legal counsel!

the sin of empathy

Welp, there you have it. The "sin of empathy."

Protest by projection!

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)
