Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

The expectation that there will be fewer jobs out there 6 months in the future just surged to its highest level in over a decade

If you are gutting healthcare and food assistance for millions of Americans, you are absolutely not “pro life.”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As I look at this chart of BRK cash as % of assets & see how it got so high circa late 2004 I am reminded of what Howard Marks said on his recent Odd Lots podcast with @weisenthal.bsky.social @tracyalloway.bsky.social how they raised money then so they would be prepared when the time came.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

A public State Department procurement document for fiscal year 2025 listed the purchase for $400 million. It comes as ethics experts raise conflict of interest questions about Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is a top White House official.

Move along, nothing to see here folks…

This is a fantastic idea! More news organizations should adopt this strategy @apnews.com @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @bloomberg.com

Report on Musk long enough and you start to see him say the same things over and over. He agreed to buy Twitter then made sweeping accusations about fraud and bots to try to break the deal. He also accused Twitter of harboring "ghost employees" who took paychecks. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Absolutely wild if the part about a Musk Lt. living in a govt. building is accurate @aoc.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @repdangoldman.bsky.social

Intriguing take, but it makes sense.

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system. Treasury stays silent. White House stays silent. Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

So Musk is using a “budget cutting” committee as a front to gain access to classified information to gain a competitive advantage over his competitors, while the CCP is also one of his most important business partners. Worth every penny of that PAC money.

Fight for what you believe in. Applies to sports and also politics (and life in general). cc: Democrats. #GGMU #MUFC

This is worth another watch

Small-scale telecommunications networks and utilities on a remote Pacific island are up against what US intelligence agencies say is an unprecedented Chinese cyberwar plan.

100% this! @cnn.com

THIS is to be committed to Memory and shared widely

I've been warning about this for a while. Sooner than you think U.S. economists may have to go Argentine, cobbling together alternative estimates of inflation, employment and so on because the official data have been corrupted.

Ludicrous… What about the pesky fact that LNG export facilities under construction globally outpaces global LNG demand forecasts… (see EQT’s Q3’24 IP)

We are in a very precarious place 🇺🇸

The push notification by @cnbc.com was absurd given the lack of context around the magnitude of the 7 day decline

NBC: Economists of all stripes say that ultimately, consumers pay the price of tariffs. Trump: I don't believe that. NBC: Can you guarantee American families won't pay more? Trump: I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee tomorrow.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 New Monmouth Poll finds that 36% of Rs won't be "bothered at all" if Trump "suspends some laws and constitutional provisions." This data should dominate every Sunday show and won't likely even get a mention. To every elected R that legitimated the Big Lie: this is your legacy. 👇

Slumping office property values are rippling through US banks, with smaller lenders in particular ramping up the use of loan modifications in their commercial real estate books.

What gives @washingtonpost.com

“This is a signal to the incoming Trump administration that China is prepared to respond with retaliatory measures,” said Wendy Cutler, a trade expert at the Asia Society Policy Institute.

Joe Biden being criticized for pardoning his son Hunter by the guy who just appointed a criminal family member he pardoned to be the US ambassador to France is the chef's kiss of irony.
