Nazis drunk on power. In Musk’s case, maybe another substance. I mean, there is no other word.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

This also includes veterans, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

So this is how this DOJ will operate. Actions and beliefs are deemed CRIMINAL if they are not in line with this Administration’s beliefs and platform.There is no criminal penalty for supporting or even continuing to apply DEIA principles.This is a muscle job. Corporations must stiffen their spines.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

Yes. Part of the problem.

Nixon said when the president does it, it isn't illegal. Trump's innovation is doing so much illegal stuff that it stops feeling illegal, and the word loses its pointedness.

In the Soviet bloc, the Communist party also had trusted political deputies in every factory, school, army unit, state office, to denounce the unreliable and to ensure compliance. But perhaps they should read up on what happened to the great Soviet hero of infant snitching, Pavlik Morozov.

Okay, but that's not a thing. I don't care what Bukele says, they cannot deport Americans. And I'm glad the AP didn't mince words or say something mealy-mouthed. It just is not legal under any law or any reading of any law or any even weird little quirk of any law. It's not a thing.

We have a cabal in power who are disregarding laws passed by Congress simply because they don’t like or agree with them. We are about to witness this cabal ignoring court rulings for the same reason. These are impeachable offenses, in violation of Art. II Take Care and Oath clauses
