Many at USIP have told me from the start that the reason the Trump administration has gone after them so aggressively is because of their really beautiful building.

Pieces of this horrid puzzle come to light. Peter Thiel. Palantir. If you don’t know, learn. Their weapon all along— our own fear. Fear so deep inside we don’t have a name for them. Individuals. Collective. Roosevelt was the messenger. Nothing to fear, but fear itself. Overcome fear. Get free.

“The clip at which Trump and Elon Musk are selling off the federal government for parts calls for battle-ready fighters—not cowardly appeasers. And the resentment towards them has begun to fester exponentially. That’s to say nothing of the shrinking possibility of free and fair elections next year.”

This is corruption in plain sight.

Musk is getting sweetheart deals for his companies, DOGE is helping him do it, and the President is cheering him on.

This isn’t about government efficiency, but making him richer.
The FAA may cancel a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon and instead give it to Starlink, owned by Elon Musk, WaPo reports.

This would be his latest opportunity to get richer off of taxpayers.

Musk and his businesses have received $38 billion in federal contracts and subsidies.

In therapy this morning I talked about the weight of knowing a tidal wave of suffering is coming. There may be ways to mitigate some of it, but it's coming.
SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.
Congress: Save Medicaid Now
Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:
