In Georgia, the ‘Biggest Election Breach’ in History Has Gone Uninvestigated
In 2020, a group of technicians accessed government election servers and voting machines. The small town where it happened is still asking for answers.
www.notus.org
Pre-election story merits a thoughtful re-read now. The largest voting system breach in nation's history will likely never be investigated b/c of GOP control in GA, and now DOJ will bury as well.

OOPSIE: Last week, DOGE posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts, but they had to delete the five largest items because they were simply not true.
What a fraud.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

We don't yet know the extent of the damage done to our workforce. We continue to receive reports of past, ongoing, and future terminations. Public servants being let go chaotically with little warning. Those who remain face overwhelming workloads and wonder what acts they will be ordered to commit.

Trump just fired 88 employees at the Western Area Power Administration. Combined with Elon’s “buyout,” we could be looking at a 20% reduction in their workforce, crippling the western grid and leading to blackouts and power outages.
