Corcos wants DOGE to build “one new API to rule them all” = moving IRS data to a cloud platform & becoming the “read center of all IRS systems” aka ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFO for ANYONE to try to access it. The IRS has more of your personal info than any other fed gov agency.

Over 5 MILLION people showed up to make their voices heard yesterday. In over a thousand locations both here and abroad. Their messages were clear. The rampant destruction of Elon Musk and Donald Trump must end. We reject the oligarchy. Democracy is worth fighting for. America is worth saving.

Not content with addressing the German far right AfD party, Musk today addressed the Italian far right Lega party, led by the pro-Putin, anti-gay, anti-Islam Matteo Salvini. Musk’s politics are pretty clear - and pretty dangerous.

New candidates: Run. Against. Oligarchy. Run on restoring and expanding public goods and services and paying for it by taxing wealth extracting billionaires like Elon and his buddies. Run on getting them out of government and ending their reliance on taxpayer money. Vilify the billionaires.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
