“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

I don’t see enough discussion of the amazing “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished” language, tbh. This reads like a first draft on someone’s Notes app got sent to every federal employee.

Elon Musk's own Grok 3 calls BS on State Department's $65.9B figure of total military support for Ukraine, estimating delivered value of just $46.6 billion. State said "provided," while DoD said "committed." + $35.1 in non-military support. Grand Total: $81.7 billion over 36 months.

I snapped this on 3/27/19. Seven days later, the Trump administration canceled my remote work and moved my job 2,300 miles away and I had to move or be fired. Three months later, they investigated my podcast. The rest, as they say, is history.

At the moment Trump or agent Krasnov (Beauty) doesn’t give an eff about polls. He’s under the delusion that he had a “mandate”— when it wasn’t. A paltry .7% of the noisy population got him in, but they’re still, sadly, a minority.

I’m seriously asking, though it sounds fanciful: can AMERICA answer hr@ with things they did last week? If so, how? If a hacker could, pls could they pls? If not, is it bc only a bot reads the mail? Really: could citizens just crush the muskrats? It’s not right a bot should control anyone. dm me?

One person did benefit from the biotech company AquaBounty coming to Pioneer, Ohio: the town’s mayor. His company bought land for $600K before the deal was publicly announced, then flipped that property to AquaBounty for ~$2.1M. By @annaleighclark.bsky.social

This deranged post must be read in concert with new Daily Beast and Yahoo News reports that Trump is a Kremlin agent ("Krasnov") and Hegseth speeding up a political purge of the military. What you are seeing here is fear from Trump and Musk; they need to get to martial law fast.

NEW: Using the unitary executive theory, the DOJ said barriers preventing Trump from firing administrative law judges were unconstitutional. These judges can currently only be removed by a board protecting federal employees from unfair practices.
