How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Technology and privacy lawyer Cathy Gellis, writing in Techdirt, argues Musk and his DOGE team are likely “personally liable” under the U.S. federal hacking law, known as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which covers the accessing of federal systems without the proper authorization.

Writing from experience. We’re being forced to feel what I’m calling “mass learned helplessness”. We are watching our institutions that have been protecting us get ripped apart every day on MSM. Our leaders appear to be helpless. Helplessness is how we will be made to conform to the new America.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

NEW from me: a source tells me yesterday the Trump admin moved to reduce the size of the Board of Immigration Appeals from 28 Appellate Immigration Judges to 15, in the process laying off judges appointed under Biden. This comes as the BIA faces historic caseloads and delays — which will get worse.
