We got a DOGE staff list. From a McKinsey alum to a former Clarence Thomas clerk, here are the workers powering Elon Musk's cost-cutting squad.

Trump's latest is the creation of a "task force" to investigate "Christian persecution"
There has never been a group of people in American LESS persecuted than Christians, and there has never been a group of people who wanted to be persecuted MORE.

Fed employees, have to periodically take online refresher training on various subjects like safety and security. One of them has always been Whistleblower Protections.
We got an email last week letting us know that that particular training was completely removed from TMS.
Not suspicious at all. 😐

Billionaires should not exist.
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Trump has called for a DOGE team member who advanced a "eugenics immigration policy" & other racist ideas to be reinstated after he resigned for making such posts on social media -- apparently, they're fine with a guy who has ADMITTED TO BEING A RACIST being part of it.

Alas, our rosters are always full by the time we advertise a crowdfund (open subs tend to be in August).
However, if this special issue sells well we will look at publishing a New Edge Sword & Planet full color, digest-sized standalone magazine.
So please, tell your friends and enemies about us!

Is it safe to assume the ToC is complete, and that no more stories are being considered?
If so, will there possibly be another S&P issue in the future? Because I’ve been known to spin such a yarn…

Disturbing ties between Kash Patel and SHEIN — a PRC company implicated in forced labor in Xinjiang. He has millions in shares and won’t divest.
Especially concerning amid reports that DOJ/FBI is going to reduce focus on PRC influence efforts in the US.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Don’t accept a buyout.
Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.
And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

There’s a big lawsuit everyone should know about. It’s the one that could boot Elon Musk and the DOGE dudes out of Treasury and kill their access to our payment systems. Learn about it in my write-up: https://buff.ly/4jMI4pO

If only someone had warned Trump supporters (and non-voters) that this could very well happen. But how could they have possibly known?

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.
