Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Regular reminder that executive orders aren’t laws they’re at best directives for interpreting existing law or, in the case of the asshole currently occupying the Oval, they’re just press releases.

He babbles in a combo of generic corporate/govt speak with a dash of techno to make us confused and think maybe he actually knows what he’s f’ing talking about.

Dude doesn’t know how to program in COBOL that’s 100% for sure.
This is a good reminder that anytime you try to find some kind of 4D chess reason for what Musk does, the reality is much likelier that he is a complete idiot who has no idea how the world works, yet he is powerful and rich and wields near complete loyalty from others so he gets what he wants.
In this piece I highlight just one example of one of the main (anonymous!) accounts that Elon is taking instructions from, claiming that Bill Kristol is funded by USAID... based on a total misunderstanding of what a *donor approved fund* is.

There are so many examples like this.

Excellent explanation
This is the BEST video you will EVER see regarding ATC both in general, and regarding the tragedy at DCA. I know it’s 20 minute video but, if you have any curiosity about how ATC works, I urge you to watch this.

Please share this far and wide.

Only an Auditor can conduct an audit.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
