Notably he doesn't even mention immigration here. Being an immigrant (legal or otherwise) is not a prerequisite to deportation as he describes it here.

There’s no real money to be made shipping a birthday card from Florida to North Dakota at a price anyone’s willing to pay. But we have the Postal Service so that people can do that. It loses money, but a lot of shit worth doing loses money.

The high stress nature of the job is also why emailing them constant threats about losing their jobs en masse is a really really stupid idea

If democracy relies on an informed public, then information disorder isn’t just a crisis - it’s an accelerant. We aren’t watching a controlled authoritarian takeover. We’re watching chaos unfold, driven by leaders who believe their own disinformation.

Their decisions aren’t carefully calculated - they’re knee-jerk reactions shaped by their own engagement bubbles and real-world echo chambers. They don’t control the system. The system controls them. And the people closest to them make it even harder to escape.

Trump’s entire worldview is shaped by right-wing media. Musk’s is shaped by reactionary online spaces. But it’s not just what they see online. They’re also surrounded by real people - advisors, allies, and influencers - who exist in the same disordered ecosystem.

And here’s the crucial part: Trump and Musk aren’t outside this system, strategically exploiting it. They’re inside it, just like everyone else. They aren’t masterminds - they are products of the same information disorder that is warping public perception.

24. Whenever Trump says he can ignore the Congress and ignore the courts, he’s saying he can ignore the American people, too. There’s nothing you can say or do. He’s robbed you of your sovereignty in violation of law and the Constitution.
More than that, he’s literally taking your money.

23. He was not “challenging Congress’ authority.” He was not triggering a “constitutional crisis.”
He was robbing you.
Yes, you.
In broad daylight.

22. I wish we’d stop with the highfalutin talk. When, for instance, Trump canceled $900 million in education research contracts that the Congress approved, and that past presidents signed into law, he was not “testing the limits of the presidency.”

The unlawful seizure of data, payments, hiring and even real estate control by an unelected & unfettered digital narcissist at the behest of a power grabbing chief executive is the only story right now. As I noted Friday, this is a hostile takeover and our nation’s lawmakers are sleeping through it.
