A top priority for anyone who cares about democracy or the rule of law in America: GET NAZIS OUT OF GOVERNMENT. Expel the white supremacists! Our nation's founding principles are at stake. Fire the ones in the open! Find the ones that are hiding!

The guy who essentially just won the next chancellorship, Friedrich Merz, has been doing a press tour for the past week or so talking about how America under Trump can’t be trusted and promising to investigate Musk for meddling in the German election.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

What I fear is going to happen is that Trump will be unpopular, we’ll get some sort of weird capital controlled stasis, and what we have lost in the past month plus will never get rebuilt. Just like a new normal of austerity and hollowed state capacity. It’s imperative to deliver a real defeat.

A rough estimate: 243,489 (73k+ veterans if we assume 30%) people are unemployed, counting those who took the buyout. Yes, EPA should be listed twice, but there may be an overlap between the two groups. One was probationary employees; the other was a climate-focused group.

One element of DOGE that hasn't been discussed, enough in my view, is that it was a very late arrival to the Trump campaign. He didn't mention it at RNC, and first brought it up in his meandering speech at the Economic Club of NY in early September./1 www.nytimes.com/2024/09/05/u...

Pretty clear that Trump was running out of money and agreed that Musk would bankroll his campaign in exchange for Trump letting him personally ransack the federal govt if they won. Maybe the most shocking part is that Musk did this while spending LESS THAN I DID on the race as a share of net worth.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Ok, but real talk? The sort of low-engagement persuadable Trump voter you need to flip is not going to sit through a serious policy argument, and would not understand it if they did. “He’s calling himself a king” they can understand. So run with it.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.
