The unqualified Pete Hegseth fires a Black four-star general with a deep record of service. As if Gen. Charles Brown was just some D.E.I. hire. As if Hegseth is not some white hire, lacking in merit.

As I noted in this morning's bonus "One First," this case (about Trump's attempt to remove MSPB Chairwoman Cathy Harris) is a much bigger test of how far #SCOTUS will go than the Dellinger case—because this case, not that one, implicates Humphrey's Executor: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-125-...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

X’s algorithm is not neutral; it is an instrument of control. Activists are buried under “visibility reductions,” their reach throttled, their voices suffocated. Engagement is currency, but dissent is debt. What remains is noise, stripped of resistance.
