In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.
The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations.
I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

He knew exactly what he was doing when he performed the "Sieg Heil" salute. The look in his eyes, the fierce and angry expression, and the way he bit his lip with stern power all indicate his awareness and intent. This is not an act of love or kindness; it's a deliberate and offensive gesture.

As the Jack Smith report gets tied up in court with stall tactics, it would seem prudent for some investigative reporter to file a FOIA request so that it can be produced if and when the cases are killed after Jan 20. Pending cases are excepted from FOIA. Closed investigations are not.

1/ Nice tidbit in a supplemental filing from Nauta & De Oliveria, confirming they realize Judge Cannon lacks jurisdiction to bar release of Special Counsel's report. Of course, she never had jurisdiction over the J6 case & can't bar that part, but she dismissed the MAL case & can't act further on it
