Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades."

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

This is so unsurprising. Did anyone think Elon was doing all of this work just for fun?
This is incredible. The source code for the new DOGE “official US government website” points to X as its primary source of authority. Sharing links to the DOGE site sends users to x dot com.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.
