There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat

PJM’s 2025/26 capacity auction in July 2024 sent prices soaring to $269.92/MW-day, an increase from $28.92/MW-day in the previous auction. This price hike pushed assumed costs for ratepayers across PJM’s territory to $14.7 billion, up from $2.2 billion. insideclimatenews.org/news/3001202...

this seems like impoundment?
NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

Amanda Scales, who previously worked at Musk's xAI, is now the chief of staff at Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

This reddit post by an anonymous official claiming to be an OPM official has now been deleted, but is posted on Daily Kos. So weigh accordingly.

Trump has issued an executive order accusing 51 former officials, by name, of “election interference,” potentially a serious crime. Their offense was exercising their right to free speech, @shaneharris.bsky.social writes: theatln.tc/Zfakrrfl
