TR still owns Reuters news, but they split off the financial information business as Refinitiv, and then sold that to LSEG in a private equity deal with Blackstone.
Westlaw is case and code search. They cut off access to the law library.
I'm just gonna let it out. I know nothing about the stock market. I deliberately avoided any savings being tied to the stock market my entire working life, preferring a simple savings account. Gambling for me meant a trip to Vegas. So can anyone tell me what this is about?
This seems too targeted for those goobers in DOGE.
I think this was more that they were just pulling wires and got lucky in removing things that could actually dismantle a lot of functions in the organization
Mush cancelled SEC's subscription to WestLaw, a legal research database containing all the written cases, statutes, regulations, & other sources you'd find in a law library, b/c its parent company has "Reuters" in its title. Westlaw saves $ by keeping agencies from having to maintain a law library.
Because they're 20 year old college drop outs who idolize an evil man. I think of them as being like the Hitler Youth and it took a long time to deprogram them and it didn't work on everyone.
I just always thought it was a fewer percentage of us that kept with the fascist ideology. I’m so disappointed In this country. Especially our education system
I read a fascinating paper on how about 1/3 of any given population, anywhere in the world, would be pro authoritarian. A lot of factors go into it like having had an authoritarian parent, trusting those above you to keep you save, being big on punishment, etc. That leave/ 2/3rds to get to work!

Okay but like, this is the government’s OWN lawyers. The impact here (as someone who has had to live w/o WL access) is that your lawyers are going to do shitty legal research or they will take a lot up longer trying to cobble together something useful. Or, I guess, they’ll make it up with AI…
Sure, but for the non-lawyers out there, there are many motions you’re going to argue that aren’t the kind of thing that leads to many published opinions. Discovery orders, for example, are in WL but mostly not on Justia or free sites. I’d never write “no court has allowed” something wo checking WL!
Trump is accustomed to getting hundreds of thousands of cease and desist letters throughout his life. He treats them as toilet paper and has no regard for the legal system never has.
I am more worried about how many people going to die or injured from plane crashes, food poisoning, revoked vaccines (RFK) and drugs, telsa crashes (most fatal car brand), bird flu and all the other things the government does to keep us safe.
If killing half a million people through incompetence and denial of covid in Trump's first term didn't faze folks i doubt they'll care about any deaths caused by all those issues you mention.
I'm just so tired that this shit is basically just being allowed to happen. It's horrifying, and unless something is done, it's only going to be more horrifying. I wish I had more faith in the people that can actually do something, but I'm at a point of thinking they're too stuck on "legality."
They were dying before that, too. So many trans people have taken their lives, and more probably will too if the agent orange administration keeps moving forward. We're terrified of being exterminated, and many would rather not live than not be who they are; or be exterminated.
It’s so heartbreaking. I’m beyond horrified for my trans friends and family. One is a disabled veteran who has fought tooth and nail to beat addiction and live the simple stable life he wanted only to have to deal with this shit now. It’s disgusting.
So am I but we’ll have to pick up the slack. We’ll get proper medical information from Canada from the EU , Japan, we’ll have to pay close attention and circulate the information widely.
When RFK revokes vaccines and drugs, and the import of them, most people cannot fly to canada/mexico to fill every prescription. Measles and TB are already spreading.
The US is now a Russian Puppet State. All of our nuclear secrets and advanced weapon designs will secretly end up in Russia. In two years magically Russian will have the latest advanced weapons. Have our troops leave S Korea, let N. Korea take it. Same in EU, Japan/TW.
It is, but this is our moment. We've been screaming about this broken place for decades. We've been living under a quiet oppression. Something has been seriously wrong here, and we cannot look away any longer, even if it costs us our lives. I refuse to live in outright tyranny. I'd rather die.
A lot of people will die but maga was fine with people dying during Covid and refused to help prevent the spread just to own the libs so here we are. Their kids and parents will die from what the regime is doing and they’ll bend over and ask for more
PASS IT ON: TRUMP IS A FILTHY, BASTARD, CRIMINAL TRAITOR ALLOWED TO RAPE, PILLAGE AND TERRORIZE AMERICA BY A COWARDLY, COMPLICIT REPUBLICAN PARTY.
WHO AMONG US IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO RID US OF THIS SCURRILOUS SCOURGE?
Can someone please explain this to me like I'm five? Like I get the confusion with Reuters and Bloomberg, the media outlets, but what are these things and what does DOGE-ing them do?
Fantastic. Making the agencies that regulate the financial markets blind as well as toothless. Going to be good times for scam artists and crooked traders.
Yes, it will be a swell time until everything crashes. Shades of the Roaring Twenties, which I've read is how at least some MAGA define Trump's "Golden Age". A wonderful time for organized crime. And the 1920's ended so well...with a bang!
This regime is running with the Peter Principle management motto. Trump calls it Art of the Deal. It always was the Peter Principle with him. They are literal know nothings.
So many fuck ups in such a short period of time. Good luck over the next 3 years and 11 months, everyone. I hope you all survive this smart and savvy new administration
These fuckers can't buy alcohol or cigarettes, and they're firing people & canceling contracts. Maybe Chutkan can take another look at this clusterfuck.
Sooooo when are the senators with actual brains going to put their big boy/girl pants on and march in and arrest these people for treason??? They are destroying America, either on purpose or by stupidity.
Most of them are the destroyers too. They hold no allegiance to this country, its constitution or its people. We are going to have clean house when we get the change to fix all of this.
YOU dont have to watch or participate in any way. Executions arent FOR us, they serve as a deterent for the enemy, and a historical reminder to future generations. It's not about revenge, it's about public education.
The US system of democracy has been proven to be much weaker than the *Westminster one when adopted by countries as their basis for government.
*The UK version is however weak because it lacks a written constitution and has been subverted by a massive power grab by the executive under Johnson/Sunak
If you make Money God don't be suprised if they all worship it, irrespective of where it came from.
It's clear the Russians have been systematically purchasing client agents in the US establishement.
DOJ report last fall reckoned over 60 active Russian agents including members of Congress & Senate.
Not what I literally meant. But they're more versed in the laws and constitution and I'm sure there's gotta be a way. We gotta keep on them! Call, call, call or show up face to face with our senators
Republicans control the house and senate. I hope this energy is directed to them becuase democrats in office can scream to their faces are blue but they do not hold any majorities.
Yes I'm aware, but there's gotta be ppl on both sides finally coming to the same conclusion. They are probably getting bombarded by their constituents and know their jobs are on the line. I'm clinging to this hope, that they will come to their senses. It might be in vain, but I have some hope.
Nope. It will not happen. Voters gave them the majority and if they were going to save us they wouldn’t have confirmed the people that they did. Voters fucked up.
We cannot think that way. It's like rolling over and dying. Yes voters fucked up, but not every one of his voters is a die hard MAGAtard. We will not roll over and die. It's bleak 100% BUT we have to keep some hope. Mango mussolini Just called himself King. Not very many agree with that either
I hear you. I truely do. I wish I had your optimism. It just I saw the Supreme Court give this man full immunity and voters on the LEFT failed to even show up. Our side fucked U.S.. I’m More disappointed in them than magats. Hispanic men and Arab America.
It will very shortly become everyone for themselves, except for the heroes with shovelfuls of sand on the roof of Chernobyl reactor # 4 that the US Government has become.
The MAGA/GOP representatives will not get any incoming over this. There are too many syllables involved for them for figure out just how badly individual folks will get harmed. It's far more subtle than the price of gas or eggs.
Friendly reminder the impacts of this chaos have not been really felt yet. All this is happening on the grace of trust (that they can ride this out). The market falls out or the polls drop hard enough and things will spiral very quickly.
I'm hopeful with the impacts coming, more ppl will turn to the truth and leave their echo chambers. Unfortunately, when it comes to cults, it's very difficult to get out once you're in. When shit hits the fan (REALLY Hits) we need to remain strong and not roll over and play dead
Yup, I'm sure that was really comforting to the folks that shoveled sand onto reactor # 4 at Chernobyl.
Money moves almost fast as nuclear reactions.
Connect the dots?
Thank you! Unfortunately I'm not surprised, but there could be flat out violence BOTH ways if things keep going this way. There are ppl who voted for him, still coming to the truth of what's going on. The senators have to stand together and do what is needed otherwise things will just explode
Well I don’t think we’re going to see Senators randomly falling out of windows soon. They have to get real and work for their constituents. The emperor has no clothes.
How stupid are the little boy/men?
They are nothing but computer hackers who think they are playing an online games with puppet master Musk.
They know nothing beside commuters. They are ignorant of any other subject.
Get rid of them immediately and hire really experienced auditors.
I have never owned a gun. That I am seriously considering purchasing one has every person who knows me dropping their jaws. It will not, however, be a 9mm LOL. I've fired those before. I have people suggesting that I get a 22.
Frontal lobe isnt fully developed until at the earliest 25...to 35. But drug usage can alter the development. And in their ages...impulsivity, peer pressure, and a struggle in moral compass. Who know what anyone was told, promised, or given.
Eh... Young ubergeeken tend to develop a God complex before their frontal lobes fully develop. After 25 yrs in IT, I can attest. One young contractor's password on a project was "1AmG0d"
The only way they can 'analyze' these enormous databases in the few days they're looking at them is by using word matching, not accounting or contract analysis-is it really the same six kids zooming from department to department and magically 'finding' waste in just a week or less?
No, that's not what they're doing and not a realistic view of what 'Ai' is, it's not some magic program that can instantly analyze and create meaningful output from millions of data points in the time frame they're using - it's a surface level scan that's already caused errors
We don't know what exactly they are changing until it's changed. It's obscene. Un American. Fired employees reported the AI use. It's not just my theory.
I'm sure they were told it was Ai but without outside oversight who can say? My reason for doubting is the unsophisticated nature of the results- take the dismissal of probationary employees- the program will look for what it is asked for, any software could, but an Ai could tell you the
...
...reasons for the status and if they were in a critical role (nuclear safety, bird flu tracking etc), if you ask it for that or, if you did, actually cared about the results. If you don't ask or ignore the results and just want to fire everyone the Ai part is irrelevant or was never real
Naturally a bunch of teenagers and engineers have never heard of Westlaw. For those who haven’t: it is the legal Internet search service for case law. But also, Federalist Society members don’t think case law should matter.
This is what happens when you have 19 year old pen testers ripping out wires in our governments root systems. They have no clue what they are doing. And they are being cheered on by a drug addicted groyper telling them to cut everything and he'll just clean it up later.
Deportation is too easy for him. Seize his fortune as (partial) restitution for all the damage he's caused. Nationalize SpaceX. Then imprison him in Gitmo.
what the statute of limitations for overstaying your visa? lets
protest Homan and tell him to prosecute musk for overstaying visa. steve bannon would help with that.
I'm ALL IN FOR HANGING THEM ALL......LIKE TRAITORS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.....Benedict had it easy....poor guy, traded secrets to both sides and hung from a tree with the one life for his coutry...these douches,shouldn't be allowed a country,and be sure to hang them high on the Liberty Tree branches
It’s a like a new IT team taking over a data center where there is no documentation. (In this case there is plenty of documentation, but it’s too much for them to comprehend and they don’t understand the terms anyway.)
So they just disconnect everything. Whatever is noticed is what is important.
I wouldn’t expect anything more from a bunch of people of questionable character, with no experience in government or any of the specialties they are demolishing.
They are uniquely unqualified… And Leon is motivated by greed and revenge.
I think they’re Beta testing fElon’s defective AI program and it’s just performing as badly as it was programmed to be…by defective humans. Unfortunately it’s fucking up the government and they’re not stopping to fix the bugs.
Is there oversight to track the money they are claiming they saved or paid ?! Who has the receipts?! Who is keeping track of their activities ? Who has any idea where our data is by now? Do we risk to have our identity stolen and our cash taken from our bank accounts?!
We all need to call our members of Congress and ask these questions. Because it’s Congress’s laws Musk is breaking and we don’t have anyone else to ask. 5 Calls app makes it easy to call our reps ☎️
They are not saving America they are destroying it. This will take us back more than 30 years. We will be a third world country while Elon and Trump will be the only owners of the US.
I mean, what possible reasons could the SEC have for researching case law or the financial markets?
There won't be anyone left there with the desire and/or knowledge to examine anything.
Yup when I first saw the piece about the SEC access to Westlaw & Bloomberg being removed my initial reaction was, "Yeah, so?".
Then I read a bit more of the simplified explanations and the light dawned.
Problem appears that MAGA don't want to listen to explanations?
I think we can all agree that there’s about 30% of the country that there’s no talking to. But that leaves a majority that if we take the time to explain in ways that don’t demean are willing to listen. Less, “You’re deplorable” and more, “I don’t care who you voted for, this is wrong.”
Is anyone tracking how much it costs to clean up all DOGE's mistakes? Tracking lost former employees to try to get them back, fighting dozens of lawsuits, reinstating people and paying back wages, reinstating service contracts, etc. etc. etc. So much winning. $$$$
Seriously. Toxic smoke and Smashed mirrors.
Whatever #gop trashed at the Capitol on jan6 was miniscule compared to this. From lost expertise and experience to global trust.
We can't penalize them enough.
Add that musky want s “stimulus” checks since DOGE found so much “government waste”. Problem is, his findings are bogus. If they cut checks to citizens, it will bankrupt the US, since he can’t prove one cent of waste.
He knows his popularity w/the base is going down, so he’s trying to appease.
I don't think they really care. I think it's all about a) justifying the eye-watering tax cutsthey promised and b) ideology. Ideology being small-state (i.e. a wrecked, disfunctional state) and owning the libs.
Remember there’ll also be lots and lots of class action lawsuits coming their way. I say confiscate their assets to cover the costs. I wonder if a version of the #MagnitskyAct might be of use here for traitors? @billbrowder.bsky.social
What ever it is...the US don't have it were broke as fuck after all this ridiculousness!
Like a bazillion dollars and 20 years with no f'g MAGA in government!
I agree but there is a reason. They want to cause so much chaos that the powergrab at the top isn't the focus. They want people desperate and systems failing so Trump can declare a state of emergency and that's game over, once the military are purged like the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, DoJ etc are.
They look like those annoying ass little shits in school that think they're smarter than everyone else and they're clueless about everything else in life besides their narrow interests they spend all their time on.
Typically I go with “Don’t attribute to malice that which can be easily explained by incompetence,” but given Musk’s…legal history, I would say malice is a factor.
Elon is mad at Reuters (news agency) bc of negative news coverage of him. Thomson Reuters is a completely different, non-news company, which has an online legal research service (Westlaw). Genius Elon isn’t able to Google and understand the difference between the 2 completely unrelated entities.
I argue that for the majority of the script kiddies of DOGE, there is no fucking going on for them. They have too high of incelligence. They couldn’t get laid even with fistfuls of money, barrels of lube, and proximity to the horniest people to exist.
But aren’t they doing great things finding all that money - for Trump? I mean the taxpayers. Elon’s crew is just whipping through agency budgets (doubtful any budgeting is actually going on but doing random cuts.)
Bring it on, let’s crash this ship as soon as next month, the sooner and harder we’ll fall people will better understand and we might have a chance to restore it. If is gradual is less visible and harder to recover.
WHATTTTTT….. As a former Big 4 auditor who has worked in accounting, finance, & treasury roles…. They deleted access to the Bloomberg terminal??? The SEC???!? Wtf?!?
Same applies with Bloomberg only Bloomberg covers the financial markets. Cancelling the subscription hamstrings the SEC from being able to monitor the activities of the corporations the SEC is supposed to regulate.
Westlaw is the computer data base that lawyers use to look up legal decisions, statutes, etc. In the Old Days, you looked these things up in books but that changed. Now all the material is online and the libraries of old are gone. So no access to Westlaw means no ability to file anything in Court
I think that is a good thing right? It prevents government lawyers from being able to look things up, not the people suing them who have access unabated to case law
The SEC government lawyers are keeping corporations and hedge funds and other financial players from running roughshod over clients and from flouting securities law. Unless you are one of those aforementioned and want to flout securities law, the SEC being hamstrung is not a good thing
They went after FDIC, CFPB....this is calculated. There will never be enough money for them and we all know they want a digital currency, but they have to bankrupt us and then tell us the dollar wasn't secure enough.
Here’s to hoping we can look back on these days and laugh. But methinks someone would have to stop it right this minute and put it back together the way it was. Much longer, and it’s just Humpty Dumpty.
There’s nothing funny about this utterly disgusting abuse of power and complete disregard of how these dangerous actions have put so many people’s lives in harm’s way. I’m sure the people in Guantanamo will never look back and laugh. I know I’ll never find any of this amusing.
Well, the US had a nice run. It’s too bad we chose an imbecile as a leader. It’s too bad ppl chose entertainment over experience and competence. The US won’t come back from this but the spirit of liberty, equality will live on. Humanity will prevail. We will prevail.
Unfortunately without the support of the US, that spirit of liberty is seriously threatened. Putin is just waiting for the US to completely pull the rug out from under Ukraine, and will then go on to invade more of Europe while US oligarchs ignore it and screw Americans.
Corporations HATE doing business with governments because governments insist on a right to "terminate for convenience". Some jurisdictions define that "convenience" as non-appropriation of funds. Others, it's "we woke up on Tues and said 'terminate'". I bet Muskrat's contracts have a payout on T4C.
Westlaw is one of the most commonly used legal search engines, and it's essential for doing any search legal research or case searches in a reasonable amount of time.
Bloomberg terminals are ubiquitous among bankers and the financial set.
Both have absolutely essential info. Canceling was INSANE.
This is why they have no legitimate reason for poking around in these agencies. It appears as though if they don’t understand it, they conclude it’s not necessary. Make me glad government is not proving health services. Can’t imagine them loose in a hospital.
Let’s hope not…If the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) were suddenly shut down without warning, it would cause immediate and widespread chaos in the financial markets.
Fortunately, I doubt the SEC is shutting down over this. The biggest impact would be in the Enforcement Division. Corp Fin, for example, probably does not use Westlaw for their core functions. If they use a research db, it’s probably Intelligize.
Reminds me of the interns the company would bring as free labour. Each time a group left, the rest of us had to clean up the mess left behind. There were some files that god only knows where they ended up.
😂😭
I'm continually amazed at how I can laugh/ cry at almost all the latest greatest hate-ist news each day. If democracy wasn't actually dying, this would be the funniest timeline yet. Le sigh.....
But. Here. We. Are.
It's fucking reality.
They aren’t doing any research. If they don’t like the look of something, it is canceled. How long has any of them spent learning the actual function of each agency? Talk about shitty cancel culture energy!
For now. When the Black Panthers showed up to Sacramento to protest with machine guns, suddenly the right got very pro gun control. They'll do it again in a heartbeat.
I have no doubts there's an EO sitting in that desk suspending either the entire constitution or the First & Second.
R's have long thought they're the only ones who shoot so they won't mind, especially when he lies and says it's temporary.
No good dictator survives with our 1a & 2a.
America's population is armed to the teeth yet the Ketamine Kid is running amok in government systems and the Felon still hasn't been helped out of his cognitive collapse.
Yet kids will continue to be massacred just for going to school.
With Trump and Bondi as the sole arbiters of what the law is, why does the government need research tools anymore? Those two can sit on their thrones and the rest of the government can come beg for bits of “knowledge.”
Remember at the 2008 RNC when McCain’s people tried to display an image of Walter Reid medical center behind the candidate while he delivered his big acceptance speech but instead his folks displayed an image of a random middle school named Walter Reid. I miss when their incompetence was just silly.
This is about destroying the core institutions of the state. It has the equivalent effects of a war but brought by foreign agents deeply infiltrated in the system of government. It is an internal nuclear strike to cripple the USA.An attack this devastating can only have been masterminded in Russia.
Not a lawyer so I had to look it up. “Westlaw is an online legal research service and proprietary database for lawyers and legal professionals” OMG WTF
Are they going to dust off the microfilm readers next? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westlaw
Having worked in a law firm on the first word processors, I know how valuable digital databases are. I suspect the company will soon be offering a deal on individual access subscriptions.
Hitler ran his country efficiently & scarily effective. His own paranoia & mental decline were ultimately what did him in. He stopped listening to his generals & started micromanaging everything. Musk is the one we have to worry about. Trump is lazy. Musk is proactive, gungho, stupid, & impatient.
Hitler believed mystical bullshit that a writer for Young Indians Jones would dismiss as unrealistic and tried to build tanks so large that no bridge in Germany could support their weight. He may not have been as dumb as these people, but he was not smart not was his government efficient.
And he did a shitty job of governing from day one. He did not run anything efficiently or effectively. Germany's early victories were due to his opponents' lack of preparation and could not be sustained. I don't think you're trying to glorify Hitler here, but it's what you're doing.
Germans are very efficient. Scarily efficient. One plus for us might be the ignorance of MAGA. It's like the dipshit that gets promoted then fucks up the whole company and after practically bankrupting the place gets fired.
Yup. Scariest part of all this? If Hitler listened to Rommel, we'd all be speaking German right now. Thank fuck for his syphilis ridden brain, paranoid schizophrenia, & control freak tendencies leading to his self-destruction. I'm hoping we skip the middle part & don't do a world war.
Sorry, but Hitler was an indolent ignoramus much in the vain of Trump & co. His regime was a plethora of sociopathic thugs that schemed to outdo each other in abject cruelty, often tasked by Hitler separately to do the same job, setting up incredible waste, graft, and vengeful in-fighting.
I get where you’re coming from, believe me. But as we’re witnessing, destruction is easy; violence is easy, and non-governmental competent malefactors with certain sets of skills use this as a smokescreen for skullduggery/hidden agendas. It took Hitler about 6 weeks to dismantle the Weimar Republic.
The fact that people still think the Nazis, or any fascist regime “made the trains run on time,” is a testament to how good their propaganda was, […ahem…Fox…cough…X…] and how said propaganda spread through disinformation & cowardice.
Hitler was not a mad man. Shizno💩 & Muskrat are both certifiable & often frustrate the work of Miller & other serious architects of this fascist kleptocracy. I am feeling less threatened by this fact, but that doesn't mean they're not going to do a lot of damage.
Agree, evil & madness are not mutually exclusive &, with further research, it seems Hitler & Shizno 💩have much in common incl relying too much on his gut, micromanaging his generals which resulted in several disastrous campaigns & more. 2 peas in a 🫛 & their flaws brought them down.
What made Hitler terrifying was he had the cleverness and strategic intelligence to execute his hate. Trump’s incompetence and fragile ego is one thing we have going for us. Let’s hope this show is over ASAP.
He really didn't. He had a few smart people around him who stopped his dumbest plans for weapons, but we need to kill the myth that Hitler was some kind of genius.
Just dumb fucking luck? Just LUCKED into gathering those few smart people around him?
The man was an evil fucking asshole, but he had a brain. Let's not dismiss him as the same kind of DOLT Trump is just because he was a fucking demonic scumbag.
No, a different kind of dolt, but a dolt nonetheless. He did, however, have a large military apparatus, a country fueled by grievance, and unprepared opponents. He also had a few people around him who were smart enough to stop his dumbest plans and smart enough to keep themselves alive.
He received help from Vlad, Facebook, Amazon, Musk ($billions), tainted (by him) polls, the Christo Fascists, racists, misogynistic men, the corrupt MSM, and billionaires that wanted another handout.
PASS IT ON: TRUMP IS A FILTHY, BASTARD, CRIMINAL TRAITOR ALLOWED TO RAPE, PILLAGE AND TERRORIZE AMERICA BY A COWARDLY, COMPLICIT REPUBLICAN PARTY.
WHO AMONG US IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO RID US OF THIS SCURRILOUS SCOURGE?
I wish the US would fucking grow up & stop fucking censoring "profanity."
"Oh, but the CHILDREN!"
Yeah. the CHILDREN. The CHILDREN, who've been on the fucking INTERNET since before they could fucking READ, hearing the word CUNT & seeing TITS & ASS everywhere.🙄
As an American I felt odd rooting for Canada in the 4 nations cup last night. I hated the thought of Trump jumping in front of the parade and hosting the US team at the WH had they won.
As I say in my pinned piece that you can find in my profile, the voters who went to the polls didn't so much reject Kamala Harris. Instead, they *embraced* Donald Trump because they *want* an autocrat in the White House. There's been some buyer's remorse of late, but that's a topic for another time.
PASS IT ON: TRUMP IS A FILTHY, BASTARD, CRIMINAL TRAITOR ALLOWED TO RAPE, PILLAGE AND TERRORIZE AMERICA BY A COWARDLY, COMPLICIT REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Last I heard they were MIA because the little trolls deleted their access and it was up to the supervisors (who were still there) to find a phone number for them. 🤦♀️ I haven’t seen any ‘Hey we found them!’ Posts yet
Fortunately they're air gaped and running off floppy disks. Stupidly old, but solid and essentially unhackable. Especially by those that don't know what a floppy disk is.
The SEC has multiple ongoing investigations into Elon, and he's just allowed to go in and kneecap them. Total banana republic. Elon should be in handcuffs and we are a fucking joke of a country until he is
They've spent years putting together this plan: Project 2025. The chaos IS the point. They want to traumatize and confuse people; make them look the other way while they're stealing the keys to the castle. P2025 only covers the 1st 180 days. They have a 2nd booklet that wasn't released to the public
Or strip him from his assets, integrate SpaceX into NASA, divide Tesla shares among US car companies, deport him out of the country with 10 dollars for a bus ticket while he has 50 billion debt for the Twitter acquisition.
That’s his fee. He bought Trump for $250M & “helped” with the election. Now it’s time for him to collect. Musk gets more contracts & he can train his AI model using OUR data & Trump stays out of jail. It’s also all a great smokescreen to do a purge of incriminating evidence across all of government.
Yes, Elon already got to handpick the new SEC and SDNY heads as part of his getting Trump elected, but actually letting Elon go into the agencies is a new level of absurd banana republic criminality
Europe is coming for his ass. Gonna cut him off at the knees. He will be trapped in America and trump will offer him up on a platter for retribution. I’m going to enjoy every minute.
We need folks with R legislators to put the heat on. I had suggested to Vote Forward to have an immediate campaign to start contacting those people...they said they would look into it.
I called mine. (Davidson OH) Had to leave a message. Got an email that said all the "work" he's done & I should get a life & leave him alone. (I'm paraphrasing)
Dems can do nothing. Lawsuits? Sure, but just slows them down. So far I don’t believe any of the decisions are permanent.
We’ve been gazing at our navel making certain we were woke.
Our side was caught flat-footed. Same old same old.
Where is our Federalist Society? Think tanks? Long term plans?
HEY REPUBLICANS! WOKE UP AND SMELL THE DEMOCRACY & the robust fragrance of the RULE OF LAW. Your Party will go down in history as the perp that tried to destroy the "Great Experiment" of the American Republic. When we take it all back very soon, you will be in the minority forever.
Would be great if all these protests got a little media coverage. Britain covered it. But it's by design, since rich owns it all. They don't want another BLM. We need one that will make BLM look like church pot luck.
Are we sure this was a stupid mistake? Could it have not been a deliberate sabotage of oversight? Not trying to speculate. I am genuinely curious. Thank you.
I would love to be the account manager when they try to reactivate their accounts. aren't these cancelled contracts essentially a breach and wouldn't they be entitled to remedies? @gtconway.bsky.social

TR still owns Reuters news, but they split off the financial information business as Refinitiv, and then sold that to LSEG in a private equity deal with Blackstone.
Westlaw is case and code search. They cut off access to the law library.
I used to joke about living in Idiocracy, but we're beyond that now.
President Commacho cared about his constituents and their burrito coverings and shit.
Westlaw is a database lawyers use for legal research
Bloomberg is for financial analysis and news
They basically took away important tools to do their job
I think this was more that they were just pulling wires and got lucky in removing things that could actually dismantle a lot of functions in the organization
I'm very happy to see this!
otoh wtaf is the matter with the people of the USA who haven't yet removed their travesty of a Federal Government???

You have to toggle a button to see "savings" Anywhere os says "$0" I would understand that to mean the same as "no change"
They’ve exposed the US to attacks, cyber and physical, in ways we can’t even begin to comprehend.

WHO AMONG US IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO RID US OF THIS SCURRILOUS SCOURGE?
I’m thinking the microdosing craze among the silicon bros turned into macrodosing
(Smacks forehead)
It’s all going so well
Who needs a legal research tool used by the whole federal government when you're hellbent on ignoring the law anyway?
Just a thought.
And that's just for openers.
The best was listening to/watching him with my dad before he died.
*The UK version is however weak because it lacks a written constitution and has been subverted by a massive power grab by the executive under Johnson/Sunak
It's clear the Russians have been systematically purchasing client agents in the US establishement.
DOJ report last fall reckoned over 60 active Russian agents including members of Congress & Senate.
The ones who sat and broke bread with a murderous dictator on *checks notes* THE FOURTH OF JULY?
Their role is enablement and blind acquiescence.
At least half voted for him not ideologically but for eggs right?
They are movable and they will become part of a community aware of being shit on (badly) by DOGE trump
Money moves almost fast as nuclear reactions.
Connect the dots?
They are nothing but computer hackers who think they are playing an online games with puppet master Musk.
They know nothing beside commuters. They are ignorant of any other subject.
Get rid of them immediately and hire really experienced auditors.
few teenagers would go willy nilly canceling things like this, they’d be afraid of making a mistake
having a silly password isn’t even in the same universe as what they’re doing
...
Moving fast and breaking things is not a good model for change, it seems....
protest Homan and tell him to prosecute musk for overstaying visa. steve bannon would help with that.
So they just disconnect everything. Whatever is noticed is what is important.

Next thing up - ooop - tech is inventing the bus again
Oh no, I’m mistaken, it’s just a clown car of Nazis
They are uniquely unqualified… And Leon is motivated by greed and revenge.
HELLOOOOO? Anybody? Anybody who has any fucking balls to stop this shit?!

There won't be anyone left there with the desire and/or knowledge to examine anything.
Then I read a bit more of the simplified explanations and the light dawned.
Problem appears that MAGA don't want to listen to explanations?
Whatever #gop trashed at the Capitol on jan6 was miniscule compared to this. From lost expertise and experience to global trust.
We can't penalize them enough.
He knows his popularity w/the base is going down, so he’s trying to appease.
Nobody can 'predict what the outcome of this will be a month from now, let alone 6 months. But it'll be chaos. The question is: how much?
Like a bazillion dollars and 20 years with no f'g MAGA in government!
The SVM is purposefully crippling a regulatory agency so they can continue to loot all of us.
He’s like Jeff Skilling on steroids, but not as smart.
Your oppression is their profession.

Watching a state, their enemy, being dismantled in real time, that's quite a show.
😡
Bloomberg terminals are ubiquitous among bankers and the financial set.
Both have absolutely essential info. Canceling was INSANE.
I'm continually amazed at how I can laugh/ cry at almost all the latest greatest hate-ist news each day. If democracy wasn't actually dying, this would be the funniest timeline yet. Le sigh.....
But. Here. We. Are.
It's fucking reality.
R's have long thought they're the only ones who shoot so they won't mind, especially when he lies and says it's temporary.
No good dictator survives with our 1a & 2a.
America's population is armed to the teeth yet the Ketamine Kid is running amok in government systems and the Felon still hasn't been helped out of his cognitive collapse.
Yet kids will continue to be massacred just for going to school.
I am sure it was vital to CFPB daily work
Musk is a russian agent terrorist
Are they going to dust off the microfilm readers next?

Trump is NOT Hitler.
HITLER was not an incompetent total fucking MORON with an administration comprised ENTIRELY of incompetent total fucking MORONS.
So... we stand corrected.
you think trump has even balls?
Not the most reliable breed.
How easy would it be to infiltrate THAT little club, I wonder?
If I could pull it off easy, I know the pros could infiltrate his bush league ass no probs.
🤭
Terminate his employment
Even if D day had failed Germany was sandwiched between USSR and, best case for them, the Atlantic Ocean.
Never mind they were also extremely self-destructive with their fixation on genocide of “the other”.
Killing that many millions of people in that relatively small amount of time seems pretty efficient to me.
Evil & unconscionable beyond redemption - but efficient as fuck.
We are, in fact, seeing it happen right in front of us.
An incompetent opposing party, a restless, discontented citizenry, a hapless bunch of allies - doesn't really take a genius.
Sigh.
They were excruciatingly good at spreading propaganda. Efficient, even.
But Trump has no vision beyond “Trump”.
Trump has Hitler’s instincts and evil, but not Hitler’s brain.
I don't think evil and madness are mutually exclusive. I think he was evil AND crazy. There is plenty of evidence of that.
If he was such an IDIOT, how did he do it?
Just dumb fucking luck? Just LUCKED into gathering those few smart people around him?
The man was an evil fucking asshole, but he had a brain. Let's not dismiss him as the same kind of DOLT Trump is just because he was a fucking demonic scumbag.
Stupid? Come on.
WHO AMONG US IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO RID US OF THIS SCURRILOUS SCOURGE?
SO FUCKING GREAT.
I wish the US would fucking grow up & stop fucking censoring "profanity."
"Oh, but the CHILDREN!"
Yeah. the CHILDREN. The CHILDREN, who've been on the fucking INTERNET since before they could fucking READ, hearing the word CUNT & seeing TITS & ASS everywhere.🙄
And I will root against my own country until this long, national nightmare is over.
Shitler did not so there’s another difference
WHO AMONG US IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO RID US OF THIS SCURRILOUS SCOURGE?
Awe, shit....
Psychologically, it's more comfortable, but nonetheless likely erroneous.
Intention requires action and that's the last thing Americans want...is having to do something.
I also think their flaws are numerous.
We’ve been gazing at our navel making certain we were woke.
Our side was caught flat-footed. Same old same old.
Where is our Federalist Society? Think tanks? Long term plans?
