I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."

🚨 Scoop: Treasury Dept agrees to block DOGE access to personal taxpayer data at IRS 🚨 IRS was preparing to try to reject this request, but was able to negotiate with the Trump admin to narrow access. Now DOGE will get the same access as academic researchers and some IT professionals, per sources.

I have no independent confirmation of this. But this is seriously scary. This piece claims D.O.G.E. exposed sensitive government servers to the internet. @markwarner.bsky.social @jahimes.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/cyberint...

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

China is electrifying faster than any other economy in the world. It has correctly apprehended that electricity is the future and the country that gets there first & develops the best electrification tech will win the 21st century. The US is held back in this race by its domestic O&G industry.

The official White House IG acct posted an “ASMR” reel of a deportation flight and I’m ruined rn. This is reckless & inhumane and underserving of any public office. No GOP member better dare talk to me about faith or Christianity. This isn’t Christ. Republicans don’t know Christ.

I’m not going to post it. The White House ASMR video is among the most evil things I’ve ever seen from the US govt. Those who find it enjoyable are the only ones who belong in those manacles. Need to rub people’s noses in this despicable stuff. @maddow.msnbc.com @joyannreid.bsky.social

The reason Musk's fake DOGE savings keep imploding is that the whole MAGA mythology about the "deep state" is fraudulent. Time to stop humoring Musk's pretense that this is about "waste and fraud." On the pod, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social is good on the big story here: newrepublic.com/article/1916...
