TL;DR: There's one side willing to do whatever it takes to defeat the other, and there's one side that's not. And that's just a cold fact.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law
T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

It's now basically illegal to withhold money from Elon Musk. FAFO.
"Spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else."
"A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call ... from a lawyer at X. The message was clear ... Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." A merger could be tanked.
