So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

All Dems just voted against Kash Patel (plus Collins/Murkowski), who was confirmed 51-49. Patel is the fifth Trump nominee in the past two weeks to face unanimous opposition from Dems in the Senate.

That feeling every time another criminal is confirmed.

Feel like the baseline for any 2028 candidate is to promise to fire Kash Patel on day one, assuming his tenure lasts that long.

If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

Perhaps the implication will soon be if you don't subscribe to X you will just happen to be randomly chosen for an IRS audit.

I think a collapse of Tesla as a brand would obviously hit his net worth, but maybe even more important, perhaps it would force him to actually pause "fixing" government and go back to fixing his oligarch empire instead.

I'm not saying "We don't have to worry about the EPA now" necessarily caused this, but that thinking will no doubt cause more like this.

Trump saw that “For I have become death” scene in Oppenheimer and thought, “Sign me up!”

Red Dawn led me to believe the Russian attack on the United States would be much more dramatic than a slow, methodical propaganda effort.

I guess I just imagined a President who coddles adversaries, alienates allies, and hobbles the government functions in a way that will definitely bring on American carnage would be viewed as a bigger emergency overall.

Part of the key here is that as these guys' backgrounds have been dug into, almost all of them have histories of VERY transgressive behavior. Not all of its terrible behavior but sort of young guy line-jumping, rule-cutting, & well .... nazi-friending stuff often, just on steroids. They fit a type.

"This feels like the early days of the pandemic, except there's less I can do about it", a colleague told me yesterday. Yep. One thing you can do is outreach. My sense is that the majority of the country doesn't yet understand the scale or the stakes of what is happening. We have to tell them:

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

NEW: A White House official's sworn statement that Elon Musk isn't technically in charge of DOGE has added to the confusion at the US DOGE Service, where workers say they have no idea who the DOGE Administrator, ie their boss, actually is. This is from @makenakelly.bsky.social

If anyone thinks I'm using the term "Nazi" too much, this is why. The best time to call someone out for being a nazi, is EVERY. TIME. This isn't 1930's Germany, but we are dealing with the same damn people and there is no way to twist this reality to sanitize or make it pretty. I'm calling it out.

What do you call someone who joined a nazi movement, but they had genuine concerns? A. R. Moxon apparently has come up with a word: www.armoxon.com
