Prior to working in media and journalism, I worked in procurement and sourcing for a large financial global firm. We had government clients and the rules around the RFP process, expenses (per diem was extraordinary low!! Rightfully so!) and the overall rigor required was exceptionally high.

Remember when the Harvey Weinstein story came out, and the first thing he did was put out a press release saying he was going to go after the NRA? I think about that sometimes.

So many rich guys living a fantasy where they're freeing children from traffickers even as they back a rapist in the White House who is pardoning sex criminals, gutting CSAM investigations, separating kids from parents at the border and endorsing the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia.

A while back Hanania's white supremacist writings saw him booted from Bari Weiss's pretend university in Austin. But now it makes him the perfect person to say, hey, these Nazi salutes are not that big a deal. Always amazing to see how far their empathy stretches in one direction, not in others.

When did “fraud” get redefined to mean “people I dislike spending money”? Is this metastasizing from Elon’s misuse of the term or did I miss a memo or what?

One of the problems is DOGE isn’t an actually looking for, let alone finding, “waste and fraud”. They are just looking for shit they don’t like. If they actually wanted more efficient it wouldn’t be with a Fire, Ready, Don’t Even Aim approach.

Over on X, Chris Rufo is out with a series of leaked internal chats between trans intelligence analysts at NSA, where they talked about things like coming out, bottom surgery, and their sex lives. So yeah, employees should be afraid of things like that even if they’re not fired.

It is nuts to have some random clueless billionaire w/ no official authority send such a demand on a weekend, rather than a manager. Combined with then telling people (on Twitter, not in the email) that they'll be fired for not responding the next work day? No reason to give this any credit at all

Mayor Adams shares lie that USAID is funding news sites (the government pays for subscriptions, just like the mayor) when I asked about resignations from high-ranking prosecutors in protest of request for his case to be dropped. I asked for examples and he couldn't provide any.

Once again, "we should raise tariffs on all goods to insane levels" is one of Trump's only consistent econ policies, but everyone with basic knowledge knows that's a moronic idea, which leads to Trump staffers repeatedly sanewashing it, only for Trump to go "no I want the insane version"
