There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

The American right has turned to Hungary to learn how authoritarians consolidate power. The American left should look to Poland to see how a big-tent coalition can defeat authoritarianism. It involves multiple parties appealing to different voters.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

NEW: Elon Musk’s DOGE is working on a custom chatbot called GSAi. The project is part of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump’s ambitions to use AI and other technologies to cut costs and modernize the US government.

“I am shocked by the gleeful assault perpetrated by our own government against U.S.A.I.D.’s programs and the public servants who work on them,” writes Samantha Power, the former head of the agency.

Trump's dismantling of USAID costs thousands of jobs, threatens U.S. national security, & effectively generates a global humanitarian crisis. Democracy Forward & Public Citizen Litigation Group are repping the American Foreign Service Assoc & American Federation of Gov Employees in court... (1/2)

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit. By me at @wired.com:

NEW: Employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) based out of D.C. were ordered overnight not to come into the office Monday and to work from home; comes after Elon Musk said that he and President Trump are shutting down the agency.

WIRED reported over the weekend that a growing number of US government websites were going offline, including several related to USAID. Early on Monday, Elon Musk said USAID was “beyond repair” and that Trump had agreed to shut it down.

Elon Musk called USAID a criminal organization that should “die.” Proponents say it’s a key arm of U.S. influence that, if destroyed, “cannot be easily rebuilt.”

I agree with Tim Snyder: it is time for Democrats to form a Shadow Cabinet just like they do in the United Kingdom

Dozens feared dead in India at Kumbh Mela religious festival

OPM, basically the government's HR, now includes people with backgrounds at Musk's companies at its highest levels. And while the takeover of USDS as DOGE has gotten a lot of scrutiny, the changes at OPM have been much much quieter. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
