Because everyone agrees Musk did just a bang-up job on running that Twitter website there, right?
Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

There were reports from reputable sources that the Trump administration was looking to rip out existing EV chargers at government facilities. Follow-up by fact-checkers has found this not to be the case.
One could imagine Trump making a "spite" move like this, but Musk would certainly cry foul.

Stephen Pastis made this comic at the end of 2019. It keeps becoming more and more relevant, much like how the movie Idiocracy keeps creeping from satire to a documentary.

The Righteous Gemstones is an absolute masterpiece. There's no other show out there that cuts through evangelical bullshit quite like it. The writing is phenomenal. The characters are just as ridiculous as faith leaders are in real life. It's beautiful!

Luigi Mangione has certainly tapped into the frustration of folks whose lives have been ruined by health insurers making it way too hard to get the healthcare they need, if they get it at all. But we're the bad people for not being a bit sad about a CEO taking a bullet for his misdeeds. Right...

I can't be the only one who's distinctly disinterested in the events and happenings of the soon-to-be-again Trump administration. There's literally nothing he can do at this point that should be a surprise to anyone, other that dropping dead.
