SPOILER ALERT: In the sci-fi show Andor, it was a massive surprise intended to horrify and shock viewers when they learned that the show's supermax actually lets no one out alive—no matter their offense or sentence.
That's what CECOT—the Trump-Bukele joint—_already is_.
So... everybody get it now?

Who’s the whistleblower?
Daniel Berulis — a senior DevSecOps architect at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), formerly with TS/SCI clearance.
He just told Congress the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pulled off a covert cyber op inside a federal agency.

2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear
3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

It is important to remember that the people threatening us are very evil, but also very stupid.
Still, for the house of cards to tumble, we need to keep showing up and speaking up.
Are you going to be cowed by these morons who copied a journalist on their war plans two weeks ago?

When you stack your administration with incompetent sycophants, you can push things for a while. They’ll threaten your enemies and make all sorts of mischief.
But when shit goes down, it’ll go down fast. They’ll fall all at once like a house of cards because loyalty to a crook is all they got.

DOGE officials engaged in a security breach from the National Labor Relations Board, likely taking data "on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets" unrelated to efficiency, and then tried to cover their tracks. If they are doing it here, no reason to assume they are not doing it elsewhere

The top story in the United States this week is the atrocities developing as a result of the relationship between Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele.
Not tariffs. Not Katy Perry. Not whatever new dumb shit Elon Musk did.
Major media needs to get this right and show America it is still paying attention.

It might be based on the US Census Bureau data. "Svalbard, Jan Mayen Island" is in that dataset. As is "Heard and McDonald Islands" - with the penguin's seasonally adjusted imports and exports shown.
