Let this sink in: "The entirety of [Tesla's] $409 million profit came from regulatory credits .... Without the $595 million in credits Tesla sold in the quarter it would have posted a net loss." Corporate welfare as a business model. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmci...

Most of our problems can be traced back to money in politics. After we bring down the current regime, undoing Citizens United and reinvigorating anti-corruption practices need to be a priority. Accountability is coming. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-27-2...

The request, spelled out in an email obtained by ProPublica, comes amid concerns that DOGE has overstepped its bounds in seeking highly restricted private information about taxpayers, public employees or federal agencies.

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.” But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

A decade of listening to a megalomaniac as he loses his mind has clearly frog-boiled all of us. You listen to him and think "he's just talking like he always does", but in transcript form Trump is clearly in full-on dementia.

Musk leaving DOGE does not matter. Until he has no ownership in Tesla or has (somehow) paid back his enormous debt to society, TSLA should be in the shitter.

Kinda says it all. Except that it doesn't reflect the BS in the (relatively) tiny savings on the right side. Or the damage done to our Federal workforce. Or the lives and soft power lost due to US AID cuts. Or the damage done by sensitive data exfiltration. Or the loss of US credib <out of chars...>

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that everyone is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
