NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

I wrote this bit that is entirely unrelated to current things

Bluesky: I am officially reporting on all things DOGE now, particularly relevant concerns about cybersecurity and data privacy, but also anything else DOGE related. Find me on Signal. I protect my sources.

This Reagan video: "Beware of the demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends while cynically waving the American flag"

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Dear Georgia watchers and defenders of freedom worldwide, help us spread the word about Mzia Amaglobeli, a female journalist, who's on the 17th day of her hunger strike, surviving only on water. Her act of defiance is a refusal to accept the agenda of a Russian regime 🧵1/

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

Not just unusual. It’s unprecedented. It’s a seismic reordering of American government and an actual instance of the “weaponization” of the DOJ that the Republicans were heretofore so fond of complaining about (when it wasn’t happening).

The Department of Justice has just DELETED its four-year-old webpage on the US Capitol riot investigations.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist at The Washington Post, says her cartoon below was killed by Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner. Bezos didn’t want the cartoon to become public because it shows him kneeling before Donald Trump. You know what to do.

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

So if Musk owns all the accounts on X, then he owns all the content on those accounts and can be held responsible for everything that appears on X, right? Defamation attorneys, start your engines.

Let’s run the government like a business, drive the car like a bicycle, and play the guitar like a piano

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

I find these historical reference points useful largely because I think they demonstrate the sheer scale of the crime perpetuated here. A small cadre of oil executives and politicians literally broke the global climate, *on purpose.*

I want to see a venn diagram of Americans who think chocolate milk comes from brown cows and trump voters

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: How billions of dollars of sanctioned Iranian oil is making its way to China. After analyzing years of satellite data, Bloomberg reporters sailed to waters east of peninsular Malaysia and Singapore to verify themselves. Join our reporters in the Bloomberg Live Q&A ⤵️

"Is wokeness one big power grab?"

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

It’s worth reminding everyone just two weeks ago Elon Musk was openly saying he and Trump are going to crash the economy and cause “hardship.”
