I think people are starting to realize that the oligarchs are not just loathsome, but more often than you would think, incredibly stupid

People are getting angry. Angry is good.

Seems like this email could severely backfire, in that it demonstrates the utter toothlessness of DOGE’s absurd directives. The question that kills DOGE has always been “Wait, are you the boss of me? Says what law?” and now Elon is forcing a lot of people to ask it.

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.

If only we had someone, a Chief Justice so to speak, who was in precisely the position to stand up for an independent judiciary by publicly refusing the request on behalf of all judicial branch employees. Oh well!

We have a confused, idiotic drug addict, who wears sunglasses on TV to hide the fact that his eyes are wildly dilated, deciding how our government should work now because his boss is too incompetent to do the job himself.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov", claims a former Soviet intelligence officer. uk.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump...?

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

President Musk is telling federal employees they answer to him. They don’t. And they shouldn’t. I’m going to need the media to ask why Trump has abdicated his responsibility to oversee federal agencies as head of the executive branch. Every interview. “Why is Elon Musk running the country?”

The Elon regime is effectively about making the lives of hundreds of thousands of government employees miserable. Not even so they quit, tho that too, but first and foremost out of an ideological commitment to hating public sector workers & public services.

God this is all so, so dumb

The shareholders at Tesla would probably like to ask a similar question: "Elon, what did you get done for us last week, other than further alienating our most likely customers with your obnoxious fascist stunts?

why is everything so goddamn dumb?

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

on top of this being unenforceable bullshit, many federal employees cannot even access their email on the weekend without a work VPN. others can, but (unlike in musk’s world) it’s actually frowned upon to access off duty.

Just in case you forgot, Musk spent at least $250 million to get Trump elected.

I googled. He's real. In certain special cases, I feel a new pope should forgo taking a new papal name and stick with his own, most excellent, one.

Pope Francis is in critical condition after respiratory crisis but "continues to be alert," the Vatican says www.cbsnews.com/news/vatican...

wait this can't be right, we have two business geniuses at the helm

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Dear God. The new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, told Trump: "I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir." This country is sick at its core.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

white guy DEI

NEW: Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, DISSOLVES the restraining order that was preventing the administration from placing thousands of USAID employees on leave and DENIES a preliminary injunction halting further purges. A painful blow to the agency. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

They're really seeking to make an example of him. But weird. Because they didn't for the mass shooters of children. It's only when a CEO dies that there's this kind of treatment. Justice is dead in the US.

Donald Trump is ending the national database of police misconduct

Proud Boys are back at the Capitol. Here they are near the first Jan. 6 breach point, around Peace Circle.

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

Nothing to see here.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

Here's why Team USA lost tonight. #ETTD #4Nations

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh
