Gotta be the funniest espionage ever. Trump sucks Musk's toes on TV's in US government buildings
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

The downing of flight MH17 in 2014 inspired a movement of online researchers to search for answers... Now, you can see how the Bellingcat team helped uncover those answers in a new three-part documentary series on National Geographic.

Trump has unleashed demons, who will drag all of us down. Unless someone, somewhere in Congress, very soon, finally finds the courage to face him down. Where the F are you? Open your eyes? Find your spine.

Musk's rhetoric is classic great replacement theory, combined with extremely emotive material about rape. If your response to that is to focus on your domestic enemies rather than the moral horror of his output, you are part of the problem.

This is a moment of acute danger. They are basically mainstreaming far-right rhetoric - washing it, combing its hair, making it presentable. Conservative MPs, from moderate figures like James Cleverly to Enoch Powell caricatures like Robert Jenrick, are doing the same thing.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

Someone must stand up to Musk. He's a dangerous knob.
In the last decade, two Members of Parliament in the UK have been murdered by extremists.
Elon Musk, with this continued disinformation, risks inspiring another attack or killing.
He is a danger to UK national security and the inaction from UK Government on the subject is no longer sustainable.

Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported.
