This isn’t drugs. This is him assuming other people don’t work because he doesn’t do that much work. Very common bad boss behavior. bsky.app/profile/rcma...

Too simple to even try and cover his tracks.

Must be nice to fire people whose job you don't understand in the name of efficiency while posting nonsense non-stop

Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

As Elon demands justifications from all federal workers (including many who are not Executive Branch employees), remember that if he paid his taxes, it'd pay for 677K federal jobs.

One thing DOGE has gutted is an effort to REFORM how the US divvies up donated organs. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Quite a moment when top military commanders are reacting to Elon's latest manic weekend email outburst as though it's a provocation from a rival state power

a lot of people rn are like "I voted for the You're Fired guy and then he fired me, what the hell!"

Pretty sure it means “We’re breaking contracts, illegally freezing payments. If anyone complains, we’ll point to this, and when we get sued, we’ll show it to a judge, who should laugh it out of court, but by then you’ll be out of work and burdened by legal fees, and we’ll ignore rulings anyway.”

So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

DANCE FOR ME, PEASANTS! DANCE!

He nails it.

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

The Joint Chiefs don't change with a new president. Supposed to be impartial, nonpartisan. Until now. Trump fired the Chair, Gen. Charles Brown (because he's Black), Navy chief Lisa Franchetti (for being a woman), and the 3 top Army, Navy, and Air Force lawyers (because they say follow the law).

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

what would a foreign adversary do differently as part of a coordinated attack

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

How it started. How it’s going

I remember when people said trying to rationalize away Musk's Nazi salute would just result in it creeping further into acceptability and here we are at the biggest gathering of what we used to call conservatives. www.thedailybeast.com/bannon-does-...

This x10000000000 “In other words: We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

There’s something happening in this country.

This is really something

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

This is not about efficiency. Giving federal employees purchase cards saves money - it reduces layers of paperwork and red tape. Imagine running a business where you stopped employees from purchasing anything. The goal is to shut down government by other means.

Having to do this in a reply to Elon bullshitting about the latest update to his anti-woke chatbot… bleak

AMERICAN DREAM, 1776: I hope our new nation can someday fulfill the promise of true democracy for, of, and by the people AMERICAN DREAM, 2025: I hope the unelected billionaire Nazi fries his brain on Ketamine so someone can stop his broccoli-headed teen soldiers from crashing planes

The Trump presidency is a threat to the well being of the American people.

It really fucking burns me that Hoffman, Joplin, Ledger, Belushi, Hendrix, and all those folks die of drug overdoses but this freak keeps on chugging.

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Bannon: "They stole it. The system is so big, so corrupt, so powerful ... fix bayonets, we're charging again. That is why Kash Patel is director of the FBI! That is why Bobby Kennedy is the head of HHS! That is why Tulsi Gabbard is at DNI! That is why Pete Hegseth is in the Pentagon! Fix bayonets!"

Seconds ago, the Senate voted to confirm the nomination of this guy to be FBI director. www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

“He texted me and said: ‘Jesse, this is not good. I’m really sad. I’m upset.’ This guy is not a DEI consultant. He is not a climate consultant."

Trump proposes something idiotic/racist/illegal and op ed writers in once respected publications get to work trying to make it sound less idiotic/racist/illegal, and fail.
