Boy howdy, in this time of chaos I sure am glad that Gulf got renamed. What a splendid reminder of the kind of warm gooey comfort that can be provided by a government that keeps its people’s best interest in mind.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

It’s always shite, and then worse shite. Is he that much of a dolt requesting a weekly? What next, a mid-term assessment, maybe an annual? I take it back, don’t want to give dolts a bad name, maybe Elon or Musk should be a slur for one worst than a dolt, put that in @merriam-webster.com

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

There are 6 elements to disinformation. Actors, incentives, narrative, targeted audience, targeted channel, and exploitation. Pre-bunking the narrative has efficacy. However, it presumably has more if it also explains incentives and exploitation harms. m.youtube.com/watch?v=NhAz...

Of course, this is the thing the “fringe”-y types have been wanting the last 4 years, so who knows if trying to gauge this under the auspices of normal societal rules is even applicable here. Maybe the risk is NOT too large.

GOP/Musk will tread carefully here, willfully ignoring court order will acknowledge complete lawlessness for all sides; so far it’s been a controlled chaos. Outcome wouldn’t be one they’d be able to control. Risk likely one no one wants to accept.

Noticed the trend of blue checkmarks calling Musks coup an “audit”, has the same vibe as Ukraine “special military operation”

Are you just operating on trust? He’s already denied being in possession of any data on Twitter. Dems waited too long to react that one can only assume the damage is done. Need to be far more proactive in meting out actionable repercussions to seek justice on behalf of America here.

Are Trump and Musk operating in parallel? Seems not, while Trump is doing Project 2025, what exactly is Musk doing? W/o oversight or press coverage the end-state he desires is mercurial at best, but likely an absolute nightmare at worst.

DOGE is a virus that’s actively and maliciously spreading through the Federal Government. It’s a weapon to allow Elon Musk to take over the basic mechanisms of government and bring them under his power. A constitutional crisis is unfolding now. Here’s what’s happening & how you can fight back. 🧵

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.
