I remain convinced DOGE was a massive, planetary scale data exfiltration scheme and that Palantir has it all now
Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.

Why did they do this?

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”

Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

New in PN: The softest Nazis you ever did see

"Call it tough guy in the streets and widdle guy in the sheets (of paper for court filings). Truly, nothing revealed this better than the DC Sandwich Guy, Sean Dunn, who a jury found not guilty yesterday."

Three men — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos — now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined.

They own the media.
They own the algorithms.
They own politicians in both parties.

The system is rigged — but We the People can take it back.

Trump entire tariff philosophy is that they are to protect against a national emergency. Hard to see how raising tariffs over hurt feelings helps him make that case.

Absolutely no one did not foresee this as a consequence of the (increasingly-aptly-captioned) Trump v. United States ruling.* Corrupt judges enabling corruption.

*Facially anti-Constitutional and so legally null and void.
Great points from @leahlitman.bsky.social explaining how conditions for Trump's $230 million heist were partly created by SCOTUS, the immunity decision, and unitary executive theory. Trump cited immunity ruling in docs seeking this money.

So much packed in here:

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.
Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.
