To be clear: Elon Musk, our unelected overlord who has access to all our information and the reins of the USG nerve center, is retweeting Russian disinformation. Cool.

⚡️ 'Russian media lies' — Ben Stiller denies claims about USAID funding his Ukraine trip, reposted by Musk. Elon Musk reposted a fabricated story on X suggesting that USAID financed Western celebrities' visits to Ukraine.

Once upon a time, we complained that "ethnic cleansing" was too sterile a euphemism to describe the forced removal and often violent expulsion of a racial or religious minority from a region. And now the press can't even bring itself to use *that* term.

The lengths to which the American press is going to describe Donald Trump's Gaza plan in every other way but as ethnic cleansing is quite something

The Trump-Musk strategy is to do whatever they want regardless of the law until someone stops them or the cost is too high. Just so we’re clear about where the opposition’s focus must lie.

Elon Musk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the young engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

THANK YOU. The FBI needs to open a case. They may not get far, but a crime is in progress

From @cathygellis.bsky.social: "I think a colorable, non-frivolous argument can be made that Elon Musk, and everyone on his DOGE team accessing the federal government’s computer infrastructure, is potentially personally liable for violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)."

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority. And no one seems to be able to stop him. So this is fine.

You know, it just may be—I know it’s hard to believe, but please, hear me out—that our felonious president and premier digital rapist may be an gullible, easily manipulated dumbass.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Trump and Musk don't need to be exposed, they are showing you who they are and destroying you in real time with the whole world watching. There is nothing to expose, you just need to open your eyes and respond.

Corporate Media destroyed Clinton over her document security & retention policy because she ran her own email through personal server. Musk has a bunch of non-government people accessing (stealing?) personally identifiable information on every person & company in US for unknown (nefarious) purposes.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

“What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence.” “Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one.” — Jeff Bezos, in an op-ed in some newspaper that’s dying in darkness, Oct. 28, 2024

Jeff Bezos yukking it up with Trump’s Cabinet at the Rotunda right now… what a look for the owner of the Washington Post.
