The shareholders at Tesla would probably like to ask a similar question: "Elon, what did you get done for us last week, other than further alienating our most likely customers with your obnoxious fascist stunts?

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Musk went straight to the slurs after being called out yet again for saying that astronauts have been stranded on the International Space Station by the Biden administration for “political reasons”—a lie that astronauts themselves have repeatedly debunked.

This is a big win for the crypto bros, Trump & his cronies who are making big bucks & catering to their wealthy crypto donors. Dropping the Coinbase lawsuit also legitimatizes opportunistic lawbreaking & advances the broligarchy's plans to embrace crypto as an alternate currency & destabilize the $.

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

When they fire the Chair of the Joint Chiefs and the Chief of the Navy next week, they’ll use words like DEI. The left will chalk it up to racism and sexism. But that’s only part of it. Mostly they just want people who they believe will carry out illegal or unethical orders.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

“This week, Donald Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting a war against a much larger neighbor,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side … Repeating lies, however, does not make them true.”

"This is the thing about liars—they may be telling you sweet little lies, the sorts of lies you love to hear, in the moment. But they will turn on you the moment it serves them." They - and all of us - are probably going to find out.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...
