Kleptocracy is a government whose corrupt leaders use political power to expropriate wealth of the people and land they govern. It’s different from plutocracy (rule by the richest) and oligarchy (rule by a small elite). In it corrupt politicians enrich themselves secretly outside the rule of law.

Seismic, and catastrophic.

Russell Vought, an evil architect of Project 2025, is also an architect of Trump’s agenda to destroy the federal government.

Vought is a lawless ideologue who wants federal workers to be β€œtraumatically affected” when Trump tears down executive government institutions.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. β€œLock him up,” everyone yells.

How is this legal? How? Why is every top Democrat not outside the Treasury right now, holding a press conference at least? Or filing a lawsuit?? I am losing my mind.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information.

This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges.

100,000 Germans gathered in Berlin to protest Elon Musk’s comments about not being ashamed of the Holocaust. Now imagine 100,000 Americans gathering in DC to protest his Nazi salute… and that we didn’t.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
