Someone I know who was Doge’d at the NIH just got an email telling him his status is “on administrative leave.” No work, or email just like paid limbo. Beyond the immediate job issue, could it mean the administration is obeying the courts?

Stocks heading south again this morning. Interesting that there is ZERO mention of this reason (attached) in the WSJ.

For all you potential Dem leaders, what we needed to see when govt lawyer said it wasn’t obligated to comply w/judges directive, was a sheriff walk up, put handcuffs on whoever was named in the injunction, & put him in jail on contempt charges til the illegally removed aliens were returned to US

It’s v exciting to see Tesla sales plunge worldwide, & the market value of its (overpriced) stock tank. It’s rumored if T stock drops low enough, M will be forced to liquidate. X is suffering too. & countries around the world are finding alternatives to starlink. Could this be how oligarchy dies?

I saw this and got a bit concerned . I understand that oligarch institutions (FB) data is easily available (I’ve used it myself when I was a digital media analyst), but does Bsky also allow access to its data?

I’ve been desperately trying to get friends OFF social media on oligarch’s platforms, esp Fbk. Your data and posts are easily & legally available to entities who use it for target marketing & nefarious reasons. When Mump turn attn toward individual Americans he will find u & destroy ur life.

We will soon find out how heavily destroying the Tesla brand affects Musk. M is essentially a factory with 4 products: TSLA, starlink, X & spacex. Also heavily leveraged. If it destroys him we have a template for overcoming the oligarchs.

Beyond Friday’s vote, where Schumer has failed & continues to fail is lack of communication, respect and leadership across all levels of the party. His paternalistic & rigid style belies a soft underbelly that makes him an easy tool for dividing the party & ultimately failing the moment.
