DOGE is gaining total control over key government computer systems—and there may be no way to wrest it back, @cwarzel.bsky.social, @ibogost.bsky.social, and @matteowong.bsky.social write.

DOGE and Trump appointees are burrowing deeper and deeper into sensitive federal computer systems and data. In one agency, we report, they have "God-mode" access. With @cwarzel.bsky.social and @ibogost.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making" "Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"

Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.* www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Fact checking the Vance speech www.thecipherbrief.com/column_artic...

Over the past week, several recent ex-State Dept officials reached out to me with a major concern. DOGE could soon access a huge defense-export database that represents a massive, if not transformational corruption opportunity for Musk & allies. Meet USXports:

Has anyone had a better past month than Putin?

There is a massive power grab going on. And Congress is just letting it happen.

Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is” (This is not how the Constitution works)

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania. 1/23

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

This will end badly for everyone. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk retweeted a conspiracy theory about white people being ethnically cleansed from South Africa, a lie spread by white nationalists. Not only that, the person he RTed said this is the “human rights cause of our lifetimes.” You shouldn’t need a salute to know that this man is a Nazi.

"Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country..." by @jacobbogage.bsky.social Because — of course. wapo.st/3QizwcN

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

The Department of Government Efficiency isn't interested in efficiency. Or transparency, or cutting costs. It's real goal is to destroy the federal civil service. In other words, regime change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is such a good interview with @michaeldweiss.bsky.social on the Bulwark with @timmiller.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uSb...

Holy cow. Serious national security implications of the Musk-Trump sledgehammer approach. National Nuclear Security Administration internal email: “The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

President Donald Trump’s administration launched one of its most brazen challenges to Congress’s authority. Many lawmakers offered little pushback.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Come ON. You fight unconstitutional moves even if the target is unpopular because the next target will be for something even bigger and more important. And because many innocent people will die.

This would be an unlawful seizure of territory in violation of the United Nations Charter, and the forcible transfer of the population of Gaza would constitute crimes against humanity. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

25-year-old rando pushing code into production systems for incredibly sensitive, mission-critical Treasury payments to set up potentially illegal blocking of payments Musk doesn't like

"It’s unclear how the threatened reduction in force at NSF would comply with union agreements the agency has with the American Federation of Government Employees."

From @cathygellis.bsky.social: "I think a colorable, non-frivolous argument can be made that Elon Musk, and everyone on his DOGE team accessing the federal government’s computer infrastructure, is potentially personally liable for violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)."

SCOOP: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted to the US Senate that he has reached at least one settlement agreement in which he was accused of misconduct or inappropriate behavior. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rząd #BeataSzydlo nie opublikował 24 wyroków Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, co do którego NIE BYŁO ŻADNYCH ZASTRZEŻEŃ o jego konstytucyjności. #ZiobroPL i #pisorgpl powinni o tym pamiętać.

Kolejny na Węgry? Jest prokuratorskie śledztwo w sprawie wycieku akt z Prokuratury Regionalnej w Lublinie. Trafiły one do adwokata Patryka Jakiego, który bronił polityka w procesie o pomówienie, wytoczonym przez Fundację Otwarty Dialog. lublin.wyborcza.pl/lublin/7,487...

Nielegalne użycie broni elektronicznej (Pegasus) przeciwko niewinnym obywatelom to poważna sprawa. Cyrk Ziobry ma to zakryć cuchnącą zasłoną dymną. Odpowiedź powinna być stanowcza. Trzeba upublicznić pełną listę osób nielegalnie zaatakowanych Pegasusem. A Ziobro - sąd i do paki!

📲 W sieci krążą informację o tym, że polski rząd miał przekazać darowiznę w wysokości 25 mln euro na odbudowę muzeum Romana Szuchewycza, dowódcy Ukraińskiej Armii Powstańczej. To ❌ #fakenews. 1/4

Czy wiceminister sprawiedliwości w rządzie #PiS boi się sprawiedliwości ❓ Marcin #Romanowski uciekł na Węgry, gdzie sojusznik Putina udzielił mu azylu politycznego. Czy tak postępują niewinni ❓ Tak wygląda "patriotyzm" PiSowskich elit ❗️ via: @platforma.bsky.social

Rząd przeznaczył 60 miliardów na finansowanie budowy elektrowni jądrowej. Za rządów PiS niemal 100 mld ze sprzedaży praw do emisji rozpłynęło się bez żadnych skutków dla polskiej energetyki oraz obywateli. Nic ich nie interesowało oprócz kolejnego dnia, tygodnia, miesiąca i roku rozkradania PL.

🟦 Kolano prezesa za 18 baniek! 🚑 🟨 Obajtek przepisuje majątek. 🟦 Morawiecki już przepisał. 🟨 Czy Orbán ich wszystkich wyżywi? #LotNadKaczymGniazdem 🦆⬇️🎄🎁☃️ youtu.be/KB1fdFPIcF8?...

Marcin Romanowski. Polski patriota, sam jak ten palec, na Węgrzech. Ledwo co wrócił z tamtej strony, już musiał udać się w kolejną podróż. Serce mu za Polską krwawi, ale twardo, po husarsku stawia warunki! 🙃Tęskno mu za ojczyzny łonem, ale trwa! Ten zbieg z 11 zarzutami.

Dla przypomnienia o co chodzi z p. Romanowskim... Najwyższa Izba Kontroli (NIK) już w 2021 roku sprawdziła, jak działa Fundusz Sprawiedliwości. Wyniki kontroli były druzgocące. ❌Zamiast realnego wsparcia dla ofiar przestępstw, Fundusz stał się narzędziem do realizacji celów niezwiązanych 1/n

Aresztowana kobieta, w dziewiątym m-cu ciąży, w trakcie akcji porodowej, na polecenie prokuratora #Ziobro przesłuchiwana przez agentów CBŚ. Rozpoczęli o 9.30, dziecko urodziło się o 20:45. W trakcie skurczy porodowych łaskawcy przerywali przesłuchanie. Więc darujmy sobie opowieści o krwotoku z nosa.

Przeczytajcie wstrząsający tekst o tym, jak prokuratura Ziobry na rympał skręcała sprawę oskarżanego o gwałt syna Jacka Kurskiego. Zaangażowani funkcjonariusze otrzymali awanse. Ofiarę pozostawiono bez pomocy Gigantyczny skandal wyborcza.pl/7,75398,3152...

Niebezpieczne związki. "Karol Nawrocki i jego środowisko. Analiza zagrożeń wizerunkowych w kontekście ewentualnego startu prezesa IPN w wyborach prezydenckich 2025". Do pobrania (bez zakreśleń i w całości) z @wyborcza.pl. Ten raport istnieje. Politycy @pisorgpl go znają.
