The word for this is "coup."
Musk's new department, which just seized control over payments as broad as USAID, defense, and social security, is presently livetweeting screenshots as they gleefully stop payments related to DEI, accessibility, and immigration. The account claims $1B in payments have already been cut off.

This is an incredible testament to the loss of local news coverage. A congresswoman disappeared for six months and no one noticed.

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.

Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea
Breaking News: The FDA approved use of the weight loss drug Zepbound for a common form of sleep apnea. It is the first drug authorized to treat the disorder.

Here's what's missing from @cnn's report on the Alexander Smirnov plea deal.
1) The Brady side channel that made his attempt to frame Biden possible that
2) Bill Barr set up
3) So Rudy could share dirt he got from Russian spies

There's a new phrase in my vocabulary this year, and I'm getting all kinds of good feels just thinking about it: healthy boundaries.

Try it! It works.

Wow. "SpaceX saw 20 kilometers of position error in their one-day computations” of the orbits of Starlink satellites" (and not only SpaceX)

thousands of satellites performed orbit-raising maneuvers on the same day!
Geomagnetic storms cause “mass migrations” of satellites

I'm sure there's a shortcut button somewhere in the customer service realm that says "This person is too excitable to help, and she cursed."

Which is greater, the fear of failure, or the fear of success?

Uh oh! More twists.
As someone who has also had a spinal fusion operation (mine was cervical) and years of horrific pain, I think the x-ray photo on his profile is far more important in understanding the shooter's motivations for attacking a health insurance CEO than any retweeting activity or Goodreads reviews.
the person of interest in the shooting of the United CEO has been ID’d as Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League grad and fan of Breloom, the mushroom Pokémon.

this bizarre interview with musk’s inconsistent, unreliable father is arguably more illuminating than the entire Isaacson book
"Was he bullied?"

"No, that's another story that's not exactly true. Some boy's father had committed suicide and everyone knew, and Elon said to this boy 'your father was stupid.' Now, you shouldn't do that... so the boy waited until Elon wasn't looking and he pushed Elon down a flight of stairs"

Point being, whereas AP reports on Brazil's coup, "Here's the new damning information," AP reported on the US coup, "Judge unsealed new information and I'm too lazy to tell you what's in it."

Amen.
The only good thing that may come out of this is that it will force the liberals and progressives to build their own decentralized media ecosystems, because either way that’s one of the main ways we get out of this.

Gabbard. Gorka. Ric Grenell to handle Ukraine negotiations. Kash Patel to FBI? Throw in Trump, Musk and Vance and you've got to conclude that we'd be better off if they just hired FSB agents rather than their assets. They'd have the same views & objectives, but at least they'd be more competent.

There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

A thread you have never seen before.
I’m saying it now with hopes that it sinks in: Donald Trump cannot take any oath of office until he is granted amnesty for breaking the last one he swore. That’s just straight up in the Constitution. 2/3 of each House. That’s the bar.

Just ran into my first person who said “Trump can’t do that because the Constitution says…”

My friend, the Constitution is a piece of paper that lacks enforcement power. The way you uphold the Constitution is to not elect people who will violate it.
