OPINION by Ja'han Jones:
“Trump’s underlying message seemed pretty clear: He’s willing to degrade the U.S. economy, but at least he can bring back machismo and coddle some hypermasculine egos. And many in the MAGA world seem to be locking in on that vibe.”

Trump and his followers are cloaking his awful economic ideas in weird ‘masculinity’ talk
Some MAGA voices are framing the president’s destructive economic policies as necessary to prompt a resurgence of American manhood. It's an obvious scam.

American citizens keep getting ensnared in Trump’s immigration crackdown

Elon claimed he’d save the government $1 TRILLION by Sept. 30. Now he’s admitting his “efficiency” team is falling short — 85% short.

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress
Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Schrödinger’s gang
Trump says he can invoke the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 because the nation is at “war” w/Venezuelan gangs. At yesterday’s House hearing on the newly published Annual Worldwide Threats Assessment, Rep. Castro asked a blunt question: Why is there no mention of it the official threat assessment?

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

It is unfortunate that most Americans will not know or care about this issue until Trump persuades the Supreme Court to abolish agency independence, gains absolute power over the Federal Reserve, and crashes the economy. But that’s the direction in which we are ineluctably heading.
NEW: A split appeals court just cleared the way for Trump to fire members of boards once designed to be independent presidential control. It's a win for Trump's bid to consolidate authority over all facets of the executive branch.
