Tariffs, the ICE raids, the rampant crypto-fueled corruption, DOGE, it's all about baking exclusivity of access into our government. Trumpism is a pyramid scheme. You buy into it literally or with your vote and there is always another rung to buy up into. All while Trump's cronies raid the state.

Seen a lot of this kind of confusion. It's classic authoritarian consolidation of power. Put everything under state control and also dismantle the checks and balances of the state, putting its various organs in the hands of a small group of loyalists. They don't want it to run well that's the point.

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.
The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations.
I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.
