Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Putting emotions on the back burner and acting together, in a coordinated manner is exactly what we need right now. Ukrainian people who are already exhausted by the war are under a very strong emotional pressure right now. This is not the first such occasion during this war.

I’m wondering the same thing! Why would any nation sit idly by as its supposed “leader” creates a brand new organization simply to lay off, or fire, up to 200,000 federal employees (DOGE’s goal number), causing record high unemployment numbers... Continued below in comments👇🏻

Things you won’t see on Australian news. 2 israelis planted bombs reading “Revenge From Tulkarm” on empty buses, triggering a major army escalation in the occupied West Bank. Fake terrorism plots staged by israelis to bring about attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. #auspol

People just trying to live their basic lives now find themselves awake at night, fearing for their future, losing income, and facing healthcare uncertainty, all because a few men, this psycho included, got bored with having too much and decided to disrupt millions for their own entertainment.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...
