"Even neo-Nazis say it’s getting a ‘little excessive’ following Steve Bannon’s CPAC salute"

Trump railing against "a Dictator without Elections" is RICH (not to mention completely false re: Zelenskyy). This whole turn against Ukraine is sickening.

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

23 year old DOGE worker Luke Farritor used Ai to decipher some phrases in a Dead Sea scroll and fired 300 people who maintain the security of our nuclear weapons because he didn’t understand what they did.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want you to believe they’re “anti-corruption.” But when independent watchdogs investigated Musk’s companies, the Trump admin fired them—at least FIVE inspector generals. This is what corruption looks like.

I'm in!

⚠️ DOGE staffer Edward Coristine was fired for leaking info from a data-security firm. He later bragged he retained access to the firm’s system.

The incel Muskrat who resigned yesterday over racist posts has been brought back by Musk & some guy named Vance. Those posts included calls to repeal the 1964 Civil Rights Act, a demand for the U.S. to adopt a “eugenic immigration policy,” and a call to “normalize Indian hate.”

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”
