History is written by the ones who hold the pen who control the narrative.
History is unforgiving to bystanders. How will it view the civil servants and senior officials of the second Trump Administration?

It would seem that #POTUS is committed to creating news grabbing headlines on a daily basis just to keep the attention on himself.

While I’m not a fan of #cnn there is a critical point being made here. What happens when the Human ‘weapons’ turn on their creator. How does an individual with no intelligence experience make critical decisions that could potentially damage the country’s #intelligence apparatus for decades to come?
The CIA’s 7th floor is home to top leadership.
Some officers are quietly discussing how mass firings and buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.

Approximately 1 in 3 people living in the capital are affected by the #Trumplonmusk cuts. That’s huge for the unemployment stats for any city let alone the Nations capital. It feels like #trump and #elonmusk have inadvertently setup a trap to impoverish #DC.

#Trump’s first month and few days seem to be a distant echo of the Amazon movie “Civil War”. There is no way that thousands of #federal workers including Trump supporters are just going to go and sit at home quietly.
Its astonishing just how badly #GOP are responding to the chaos

At some point the unemployment figures from the federal worker purge will start to create #macroeconomic pressures. Is this conversation happening?? #DOGE

On a separate note. #deepseek is dangerous and biased and should not be used in any sort of production environment. Try asking “who is Xi Jin Ping” and watch the answer

An #American living in Hong Kong as of yesterday, can’t send his daughter, who lives in stateside, a present for her birthday because the #uspostalservice is not receiving large packages from #China and #HongKong
Surely there is something illegal about this.

Has the issue #Trump loves the media attention. It’s an addiction of some sorts. He loves the ratings. And the #MSM keep feeding the addiction as if there’s nothing else to report.

The worst thing about this whole debacle is the families of the victims having to watch their memories being used as a political football. Is this #America now?? Really?

There will be a point of No safe return when it comes to all things Musk…
The gesture was controversial enough, but now come the sub-controversies: Elon Musk is trolling Wikipedia and encouraging its defunding after a description of his recent flourish, seen by some as a Hitler salute, appeared on the encyclopedic website.
