Can I humbly suggest also including a nice big attachment with those emails ? Let’s see how much space OPM’s email servers have. Surely there’s a public domain WAV of Churchill’s “we will fight them on the beaches” speech available somewhere. Or maybe an original recording of “Bella Ciao”.

Older folks will remember the Cold War term "Kremlinology"—attempts to piece together from various clues the truth about the power struggles inside the Kremlin. Well, the fact that Kash Patel is the first Trumpy person to stand up to Musk in public is FASCINATING, Kremlinologically speaking.

When universal asset owners flex muscle… @reuters.com “CEO Harmen van Wijnen said the companies no longer fit the fund's governance criteria. FD reported last month that ABP had sold its shares in Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab for the same reason.” www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

@apnews.com sues the Trump administration 👌 “The First Amendment prohibits the government from asserting control over how news organizations make editorial decisions,” the letter said. “Any attempt to punish journalists for those decisions is a serious breach of this constitutional protection.”

“Project 2025 drew heavily on Orbán’s strategy, Scheppele adds. ‘First you defund everything your opponents do. Then you purge the civil service of those who are not loyal to you. Then you threaten the media with economic sanctions so they fall in line. You pack the courts; you cow the parliament.’”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

We're pretty much at a point in the downfall of American democracy where one must hope that such a purge might provoke a military counter-coup.

The “free speech absolutist” owner of X doesn’t like the output of the Community Notes program he has previously championed, so he puts his massive thumb on that scale to ensure it’s labels align with his twisted view of reality.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.
