German Politics & Elon Musk's Self-Interested Alignment with AfD
Like most things in Musk's life, his desire to influence Germany politics is all about himself.

With elections taking place in Germany, and Musk publicly embracing the far right party, it's important to keep in mind that it's all about his own personal gain. Consequences be damned

DOGE is simply another grift
"The goalposts for DOGE have silently moved from finding fraud and corruption to simply pointing out and cancelling government programs that Trump and Republicans simply don’t support." -- @justinglawe.bsky.social
Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

WTF? This is wild
New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including:
“Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”

A reason for hope
In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.
