After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Only thing anyone can say after that spectacle is that there is now no doubt that Trump and JD Vance are working for Putin

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

This. Is. A. Coup.
Peter Baker reported from Moscow in the early days of President Vladimir Putin’s reign. "This reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access," he wrote of the White House's plan to handpick reporters. nyti.ms/41uUaN0

Elon Musk’s team posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts.

Now it has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.

The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the “wall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.

Trump threatened to sue journalists, authors, and book publishers who use anonymous sources. Granting certain sources anonymity is a common journalistic practice, especially when sources fear retribution.

Pause. Take a breath. Then read and save this article. Such a necessary reminder that, as we grow weary, what is at stake is far too important to allow ourselves to become complicit. Deliberate actions. One at a time. All of us. That’s what it’s going to take to make it through this mess.

Lots of information and resources in this one.

The Trump administration has disappeared thousands of taxpayer-funded websites.

Though some pages have been restored, those still missing contain decades’ worth of information critical to scientists, physicians, urban planners, businesses and families.

Dozens of government webpages disappeared as part of his plan to reshape the U.S. government to his liking. Not even NASA was spared.

There needs to be more clarity in mainstream publications as there are in independent ones. @eladn.bsky.social shows the way:

"If you know anything about Musk, the answer is quite simple: he is only concerned with white children and white birth rates."

Elon Musk Isn't a White Nationalist. He's a White Globalist.
How Musk's USAID efforts indicate an ideology larger than we are used to talking about. One we have to adjust to quickly as his power grows.
