The FAA has agreed to use SpaceX's Starlink internet system to upgrade the IT networks it uses to manage US airspace, raising new concerns about conflicts of interest for CEO Elon Musk in one of his other roles, that of recommending funding cuts at federal agencies, including the FAA. cnn.it/436qirE

What work? I see no evidence of constructive work. I see a mentally disturbed South African tormenting people. You’re right in that he seems to think he answers to no one.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

Chuck Schumer and those in Congress either need to go to NOAA HQ with federal law enforcement officers to arrest non-government people who are committing crimes by accessing government systems.

Or, they need to go on-air right now to explain why they're not!

I just spoke with an attorney who works with the NOAA, and there is a valid path to shut down what's happening. The agencies are compromised, the IGs are fired, etc.

We need a state AG (she said NY would be best) to file a lawsuit seeking an injunction using state and federal cybersecurity laws.

After the 2022 midterms, Kash Patel attacked GOP Senators Mitch McConnell for supporting Lisa Murkowski.

Patel claimed McConnell and others like him “live off the government teat and cannot do anything on their own.”

Patel now hopes McConnell and Murkowski vote to confirm him.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada?

Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally?

Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests.

Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.
