NEW: A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He does not, our sources say, have "read only" access, but high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code.

Folks (and this thing has gone around quickly), it's still unclear what has been "deleted"; as many of you have noted DirectFile remains active. Part of the danger of Government-By-Unelected-Nutball is that what's actually true is a moving target. If you RT'd my initial post, RT this as well.

@HouseDemocrats Impeach Scott Bessent for giving Musk access to our records. Musk should be arrested for this. Neither Congress nor the FBI have approved Musk for any position and he should not be allowed to access our accounts and Pii. Come out swinging on Monday, Dems!

This is very disappointing. These Democrats are rubber stamping the Trump/Musk purge. Thousands of FBI agents & other federal employees are being fired without due process.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Because the media is already getting everything as wrong as they possibly can, let's go over what actually happened with Colombia yesterday. Under Biden/Harris, Colombia accepted more than 400 deportation flights, 120 just in 2024 alone. These were normal commercial planes. 1/

NEW -- #Trump's global aid freeze has cut the salaries paid to many of the prison & camp guards responsible for securing 9,500 #ISIS militants & ~40,000 associated women/kids in northeast #Syria. Many are no longer turning up for work.

Many voters sat out the election, voted third-party, or worse yet, voted for Trump, protesting the destruction in Gaza. How y'all feeling now that Trump wants to "clean out" Gaza, move Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, and resume shipment of 2,000lb bombs to Israel? www.nbcnews.com/news/world/t...

I'm trying to keep up with this; the party of pro-life has 1) ended cancer research 2) pulled us out of the WHO 3) Frozen communications and updates for the NIH and the CDC 4) raised prescription prices previously capped 5) out of Paris Climate Accords again 6) FDA and HHS gone Dark #MAGADeathCult

I'm so going to miss this man. He dragged this country out of a near-recession, built back the economy, passed a monumental infrastructure bill, and supported human and voting rights. He never got his just dues.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

Republicans on the NC Supreme Court just blocked certification of a Democratic justice's election win. Her GOP opponent is trying to throw out 60,000 ballots cast in November, citing debunked far-right legal theories. This assault on democracy should be a national scandal.
