Every one of these actions will be enjoined immediately.

(CNN) — The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding for California, an effort which could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources. @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

Peter Schiff posting that he is a statutory rapist in his attempts to defend Donald Trump is very Peter Schiff

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Further purges of the US security services. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u...

No more bottom for $TSLA now.

Did Stephen Miller buy this for his wife?

Is this only true of her? Or did all the Tesla and SpaceX people who joined DOGE continue to get their Elon salaries too?

Fundamentally, the last three years of war have revealed Russia to be an incredibly thuggish, stupid state, propped up by systemic violence to its ethnic minorities, whom it uses as conscript charnel feed for its various grasping territorial bullshit

Ignorance is one hell of a drug. A software engineer from DOGE with no healthcare or government experience developed an error-prone AI tool to identify which services from private companies were not essential at Veterans Affairs. Of course, it was a disaster. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Sir we've lost the Catturd army

Amazing. Respect the lede.

the tech right suddenly discovers due process

ICE raid on Musk’s harem compound in Texas would go crazy. I believe we can accelerate this situation to Waco levels in the next 12 hours

Love that old Soviet jokes about the gulags translate so well to our current moment. Well, not so much love but loathe.

There’s a non zero chance Musk has a self destruct button for every Starlink satellite and Dragon capsule out there.

Seriously y’all, Musk is about two X tweets away from being sent to CECOT.

This is not true. Rip up those contracts and SpaceX is bankrupt within weeks. The Feds can force musk out of SX no problem at all, using legal means

He is now calling for Trump to nationalize SpaceX lmao

Three men sit in a cell in El Salvador. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned. He replies, "Because I criticized Elon Musk." The first man responds, "But I am here for praising Musk!" They ask the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back. He answers, "I AM Elon Musk".

Well, folks, what did we learn?

It's fun when a Khodorkovsky-like oligarch deservedly goes to jail, but it is a big step for regime consolidation, so nobody should be genuinely happy here.

Musk is really, really underestimating how miserable Trump can make his life in lawful and legitimate ways, let alone worse ones.

Stephen Miller canceled on Kudlow last minute for an “emergency meeting” in the oval office Wonder what they could be discussing! 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is what it was like being online when Trump got covid

forcing JD Vance into the middle of this against his will is such an incredible bonus

Elon my dude he's going to deport your ass.

So this week, Palantir told me I was banned from its booth at a tech conference (didn’t give a reason) & threatened to call the cops if I came back In recent days, Palantir has been increasingly defensive toward multiple journalists and perceived critics: www.wired.com/story/palant...

We did not have any of this drama when Joe Biden’s clone was president.

Oh dear

Noooo. Wild shit. He really fucking said that to a guy who's sending people to die in CECOT. Musk, you are out of your league man. You got 22 year old shavers named Big Balls playing click and drag on a computer. You are not prepared. Trump is gonna have Tom Homan knocking on your door.

Ok so THIS is an absolutely insane thing to say to the President. Mr Musk is gonna end up strapped to his next rocket test.

One thing about SpaceX is that in the near and perhaps medium term the USG really can’t cut those contracts. It doesn’t have an alternative, which has always been a very dangerous situation. What’s more viable is some kind of expropriation or nationalization.

Josh is quite correct here. For space launch, there's really no immediate term option to use a different provider. There are more marginal things that could be cut fast, like the intent to move FAA radar comms to Starlink instead of Verizon fiber (a stupid, pure grift idea from the start)

Wouldn't be surprised if Trump turns viciously on Peter Thiel and the rest of the Silicon Valley gang whose delusions of grandeur resembled late 1990s Russian oligarch arrogance towards Yeltsin's potential successors

I hope the DOGE kids’ parents can afford good lawyers.

This is real. Musk’s entire fortune and empire has always been wildly dependent on the federal govt.
