There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

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.

Donald Trump's decision to bar the Associated Press today from entering the Oval Office was the latest, and most significant attack on the free press since he took office. We need a strong independent media to take on Trump. I will never back down.

Reminder that Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Google are each facing federal antitrust lawsuits. They each gave cash hand over fist to Trump’s inaugural fund, which raked in a record $250 million. When I say money in politics corrupts our system, this is what I’m talking about.

We need to keep our eyes open and make moves to safeguard our own defenses. Musk has shown "a history of pleasing the Chinese Communist Party." And he holds the controls for much of our own national security. This should be alarming regardless of party or politic. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o...

Thank you, President Carter, for being an example of what it looks like to live out one's faith day in and day out. Though he had once held the highest office in the country, he chose to spend his time and resources serving his neighbors. Rest in peace. Well done, good and faithful servant.
