In 2012 - toen de NOvA dit onderzoek voor het eerst deed - kregen ‘slechts’ 2 partijen een rode kaart. Nu zijn dat er 12 - TWAALF - van de 15. Voor wie niet snapt hoe Overton werkt; zo dus. Het ooit ondenkbare of ontoelaatbare of onwenselijke wordt gaandeweg het nieuwe normaal. Wauw.

DOGE is shaping up to be the biggest failure of all time. All pain. No gain. Shrouded in secrecy, lies, and false projections. A scam on the American people.

Meanwhile, the administration has quietly slashed DOGE’s so-called “savings target” from $2 trillion to just $150 billion. Because it was never about savings. It was always about control.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

You bragged that you fed an aid agency keeping millions of the world’s most vulnerable people alive “into the wood chipper” and you’re whinging about someone dunking on your stock price?
Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?

Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China
Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

Ik vraag me af of 'autocratische proefballon' nu echt de juiste benaming is van een fascistische machtsovername.
Als we iets van de jaren dertig meegekregen hebben, is dat wel dat je fascistische machtsovernames niet moet bagatelliseren en zeker niet moet normaliseren.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.
