DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

⚠️ Alarm calling is a common behavior animals use to alert others of danger and scare off predators. But not all individuals call the same. A new study in marmots shows the tendency to alarm call is a heritable trait and differs depending on age, sex, and colony size. 🧪 #SciComm #AnimalBehavior

Just goes to show that we need to stop calling these people conservatives. They are radicals, reactionaries, and, yes, Nazis.

Here's a straight line: In 2019, Pete Hegseth encouraged President Trump to pardon accused war criminals. In 2025, Pete Hegseth and President Trump fired the military's top legal officers.

We've gone from Infrastructure Week, the show where nothing happened while a bunch of buffoons in bad suits preened, to the Weekly Friday Night Massacre, the show where a would-be dictator destroys everything standing in his way. And it's not even a surprise.

Sadly, with these blatantly political firings, every single general and flag officer nominee going forward must be asked publicly under oath by SASC what sort of loyalty oaths, if any, they swore to the Administration.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

A thread to hear the stories of fired federal workers, many of whom provide important services that people appreciate and/or benefit from. Start with Centers for Disease Control (CDC): ‘I feel betrayed’: federal health workers fired by Trump tell of ‘nightmare’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Didn't Musk try to fuck with the Ukrainian's Starlink access they were using to resist being absorbed into the new Russian Empire during the Biden administration? Hmm... Yes, yes that hand-pump inflated chode did. apnews.com/article/spac...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

"The 3,000 agents Turner fired, each and every one of them first or second generation Americans. Is that because they lacked diplomatic skills, or did Turner not think it was a good idea to have spies who could speak the same language as the people they're fuckin' spying on?"

This should be a huge red flag to countries other than just Ukraine. Predatory weaponization of interdependence is something the US can probably exploit in the short term but the rest of the world will, rightfully, avoid American solutions if that's our modus operandi

We received an email this afternoon saying that no one will be DOGE’d today or this weekend but if you’re a probationary employee (less than a year) expect it next week. Note: we teach mid-career officers. Probationary means people w/20+ yrs experience.
