Is this good
Team Trump has defended their FAA cuts. Former staffers warn the purge will only create more safety risks® Despite assurances from transport secretary Sean Duffy that none of the 400 FAA staff let go were critical safety personnel, industry experts disagree Rhian Lubin in New York • Friday 21 February 2025 16:47 GMT One FAA staffer let go last week was an aeronautical information specialist just outside of Washington, D.C., whose job is to evaluate and prepare navigation maps, routes and flight paths, including helicopters around major airports. "They may not be touching air traffic control equipment, but their work is critical to the aviation ecosystem," an air-traffic workers' union spokesperson told The Independent. The fired staffer, who was on a team of 12, told Politico that without them, "pilots would quite literally be flying blind."

“Basically every cabinet member is sick of him” lol
National Musk's blitzkrieg is unnerving many of Trump's senior advisers Officials have been blindsided by DOGE's actions. But the president's strong support of the group means other advisers have limited options. Today at 12:00 p.m. EST a15min 贝 5 332 "Basically every Cabinet member is sick of him, but nobody feels like they're in a position to do anything about it," said one person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations with several incoming secretaries or their staffs. "People are afraid to cross him even as he's wreaking havoc on their agencies."

Oof lol
team's work. As he answered questions, Musk's 4-year-old son, X, stood between the two men when he was not hoisted on Mr.Musk's shoulders or sitting on the floor. Mr.Trump often appeared to be staring at the child, relegated to something of a side character in his own office.

Great strategy, let’s see how it plays out for them.
• Some Democrats see the callers as barking up the wrong tree given their limited power as the minority party in Congress: "It's been a constant theme of us saying, 'Please call the Republicans," said Beyer.

Firing the whistleblowers and rehiring the racists. Great country we’ve got here.
1 hr 55 min ago Booz Allen says Treasury subcontractor behind DOGE threat assessment has been terminated From CNN's Sean Lyngaas The subcontractor responsible for an internal Treasury Department threat assessment warning about the "unprecedented insider threat risk" posed by the Department of Government Efficiency's access to the agency's sensitive payment system has been terminated, contractor Booz Allen Hamilton said in a statement on Saturday. Booz Allen claimed the assessment was a "draft report," though it was widely circulated internally at the Treasury Department. "Commentary provided in a draft document by a subcontractor contained unsubstantiated personal opinions," the statement said.

Who is your “real boss”?
U.S. intelligence, law enforcement candidates face Trump loyalty test Candidates for top intelligence and law enforcement jobs were asked to give "yes" or "no" responses to questions such as: Was Jan. 6 "an inside job?" Separately, at least two individuals in FBI field offices outside Washington, who were being interviewed for senior positions, were asked similar questions, said one U.S. official familiar with the incidents. The questions included: Who were the "real patriots" on January 6? Who won the 2020 election? Who is your "real boss?"

Yes this definitely checks out
Trump Administration The Elite Lawyers Working for Elon Musk's DOGE Include Former Supreme Court Clerks Much attention has been paid to the young Silicon Valley engineers working for Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, but the group has also hired high-powered legal talent. Kmiec appears to have become interested in crypto long before it went mainstream. A friend wrote an essay published online recalling meeting Kmiec at an Irish pub in Washington's Dupont Circle in the mid-2010s, where the men spoke about "the errors of central banks, the libertarian movement, and Bitcoin." In 2021, Kmiec began working for a Swiss foundation that promotes a blockchain called Tezos, according to his LinkedIn. He then served for nine months as CEO of a now-defunct startup called InterPop, which described itself as "forging the future of digital fandom with comic, game, and collectible NFTs minted responsibly on the Tezos blockchain." A former staffer at InterPop described the company in an interview as a refinement of the Magic: The Gathering card game. But the former staffer added, "We ran out of money and the game failed."

People are afraid they’re going to be put on lists and targeted. If you’re not seeing parallels here you’re part of the problem.
Trump's anti-DEl executive orders target employee resource groups, federal workers say "In the snap of fingers, our work is being completely undone.... It's one step forward, two steps back," one employee said of changes across the resource groups. "There are affinity groups for parents of mentally disabled or physically disabled children. It provides the ability for people to meet like people, to share positions in life and to identify struggles and ways to get over the struggles," he said. The experience has left him anxious for what's to come, the worker said. He explained that he and his fellow group members have decided to disband the ERG and get rid of the distribution lists, which they fear could be used to target employees in the future. The move was also in light of a recent memo from the Office of Personnel Management that in part instructed agency and department heads to provide lists of DEI offices in their divisions and employees. "We went ahead and deleted everything else, because we don't want people to be swept up in becoming part of a list," the worker said. "That was a really sad step - having to pull the trigger ourselves and just end up deleting our entire existence."

But they’re not fascists, don’t call them fascists!
Trump administration fires DOJ officials who worked on criminal investigations of the president The Justice Department employees had been involved in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation that led to Trump's classified documents and Jan. 6 cases. • Job-seekers hoping to join the Trump administration are facing intense loyalty tests, including questions on who they voted for and when their moment of "MAGA revelation" occurred. • An application form on the Trump transition website asks candidates how they supported Trump in 2024 - with choices including volunteering, fundraising, door-knocking and making phone calls, according to a link obtained by the Associated Press. • Career civil servants are also facing screenings. "We're also cleaning house," one Trump administration official says.

Elon Musk’s Dad everyone!
l ask him about a comment Elon reportedly made to a biographer several years ago. Musk Jr apparently said: "If each successive generation of smart people has fewer kids, then that's probably bad." lask Errol Musk if that viewpoint is bordering on eugenics. "I wouldn't call it eugenics as such, but every nation has practiced a certain form of survival of the fittest. "One need only go to England and go to the Cheltenham area, the horse breeding area, and say, 'Look, we're not going to breed the horses anymore by any form of standard. I've got a few old horses l've found in Nigeria and we're going to just mix them with your race horses...' "They'll say, no, no, no, no, no," he added.

Glad you all had fun
"Good evening everyone ... If you have a seat, please take it. Don't jump in the pool!" Biden said to laughs at the tented black-tie soiree on the White House South Lawn, where the pool and fountain are located. But another attendee described the event as a "real love fest," adding, "It was of course sad, but also just a real sense of appreciation for the Bidens. It was absolutely gorgeous." The source said, "Weirdly, it was also really fun — like a last hurrah." There were also musical performances.
