Yet another plane collision happened today but Transportation Secretary Duffy is too busy hyping Elon Musk upgrading aviation software and bickering with Hillary Clinton to even mention it.

He's inept.

I'm thinking Pete will be bringing facts soon

Maybe the lack of qualifications for many star reps on the Right (eg MTG) has led folks on the Right to think that all reps are inept without realizing the intense rigor it takes to devote your life to public service.

Another mess: "Top Dem on the House Intel Committee Jim Himes says in a statement that he understands that the White House “insisted” on the CIA transmitting the list in an unclassified email" https://bsky.app/profile/hugolowell.bsky.social/post/3lhh76jlkhk2t

And an answer: "USAid security personnel were defending a secure room holding sensitive and classified data in a standoff with “department of government efficiency” employees when a message came directly from Elon Musk: give the Doge kids whatever they want." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/05/musk-doge-takeover-usaid

People have to start saying, "hell no!" and standing their ground.

people holding the line will need backup though! they could be losing their jobs / menaced by MAGA types / jailed. They need to know there are legal fees and human bodies that are there to help. We need be able to be there before we ask others to take the fall.

Correct. That's why the civil rights movement succeeded as well as it did. We need to lift them up.

But why did they listen to him? He has no security clearance, no linear authority. I’m with you — where are the enforcers, the marshals, the police?

tkleghorn.bsky.social•19 days ago

But that doesn't explain why they had to obey Musk's order: What authority does he have?

But her emails!

Plus “plug in to help upgrade our aviation system” is complete and utter nonsense. That is not a thing. A complex systems upgrade is a capital project meaning requires analysis, planning, risk analyses, a massive amount of collaborative teamwork, a phased rollout, etc. It’s pure bullshit.
