SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including: “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

So this is my crazy theory: Someone from the DCCC email team is in a monkey’s paw situation and now we’re all dealing with the consequences Just look at these subject lines from October 2016. They all came true

Oh yeah? Really? Well then how come I, a rich Silicon Valley investor (sold our app PooprEatr for $10B), have never heard of this "GAO"? It's not like they have literally thousands of reports on these exact issues which I could have read at any time if I was interested in how funds were spent!

I really don't understand the ambiguity here. Trump deputized the richest man on the planet to unilaterally cut off congressionally-funded and congressionally-authorized agencies. A power which neither of them can wield legitimately. That was the beginning of the constitutional crisis right there.

what we’re seeing is that the courts are willing to rule against the government on certain things but there’s no one to actually enforce it.

This is absolutely accurate, and we extremely online, we merry band of dipshits, are now in the surreal position of wondering how long it’ll take the rest of the world to figure this out.

Among the many avenues Democrats need to be pushing now is: Trump, Musk, and their Republican enablers just compromised the personal and financial info of every American. This isn't hyperbole; it already happened. They broke all the cybersecurity protocols and are concealing what they're doing.

This reminds me of when I was at Bungie and someone told me that he wanted to use ChatGPT despite the studio-wide interdiction because a part of his job was to summarize news stories on a topic and send around that summary every day; my response was “why show everyone that you add no value?”
