With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

In the era that I studied when I was still part of the academic world one recurrent topic was that of "over-mighty subjects". This referred to subjects of the Crown who were themselves so powerful that they threatened the sovereign power of the Crown itself. In the US we have no sovereign, or ...

Federal employees already account for their work with their supervisors. We should be thanking them for their service to our country, not jerking them around. Disgusting.

This, again, is nauseating. (Used that term yesterday about firing of GEN CQ Brown, Chmn JCS) @brian-goldstone.bsky.social 's forthcoming book is magnificent. I did a blurb likening it to J Anthony Lukas's 'Common Ground.' And it is set in Atlanta. Buy and read the book. Resist the know-nothings

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...

Quite a moment when top military commanders are reacting to Elon's latest manic weekend email outburst as though it's a provocation from a rival state power

Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications.

More subtle outcomes of litigation. Courts have not just blocked DOGE and other actions, but also forced Gov to produce answers and commitments. Friday night's Treasury decision requires: Gov certifying what is the security clearance process for DOGE team; revealing authorizations for DOGE; more⬇️

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

I mean, maybe. I don't have access to the inner workings of the Ukraine government. There's not a single Ukrainian source even anonymously quoted here that substantiates the assertion of "seriously considering." The only quoted source is Trump's special envoy
