Musk claims to be removing fraud from government, but the corruption is happening in plain sight. He called for the FAA chief who regulates his companies to resign FAA then cancels a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon and gives it to Musk instead donmoynihan.substack.com/p/musks-frau...

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com As a reporter, James Gerstenzang covered five presidents and is familiar with the conventional disputes between journalists and presidents. But Trump's ban on The AP "is emblematic of the broader assault by the White House on the public's right to know," he writes.

"Last year the Supreme Court gutted the rulings that reined in Nixon, and now Trump and Elon Musk are running the government as if they are the only law in the land. They insist they are 'saving' the country by burning down its institutions, and they bogusly claim a mandate of the people to do it."

If DOGE is making a simple math error here it is making simple errors elsewhere -- like firing mission critical employees and cutting life-saving programs. There is a reason why government sometimes moves slow, so it doesn't make stupid decisions www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

I think the totally understandable negative polarization among people on the left towards AI has obscured for people just how shockingly advanced the tech is getting. The consumer facing image slop is laughable but DeepSeek’s research abilities are insane.
