Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.

But her emails!!!
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.

Good lord.
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

I mean it’s just the agency tasked with nuclear security, how bad can it be?
DOE's general counsel and IT offices told DOE Sec. Chris Wright that giving DOGE rep Luke Farritor IT access was a "bad idea" bc he hadn’t had a standard background investigation needed to access the department’s system, per a source. Wright granted him access anyways. www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/c...

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.
Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.

Absolute shocker. 🙄
Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa announced on a local news radio show on Tuesday that she would vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense.
Her decision dramatically increases the likelihood that Hegseth will have enough votes to be confirmed by the Senate.

Working 80 hours a week *for free* to help the richest guy in the world fire a bunch of people making like $70k/yr is a more antisocial behavioral trait than most of what you would see in the average American prison.
The plan is for a cohort of unpaid, unofficial volunteers to live within federal agencies for six months, working 80 hours per week on undefined tasks, conspire with one another on Signal, and get nearly everyone around them fired. It doesn’t sound fully baked to me. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/u...
