To destroy each government agency, Musk would install his people (covert DOGE) in top agency roles, then send in a non-covert DOGE team to "consult"

Together they would announce "DOGE and the agency have agreed to massive cuts"

But that's no agreement, it's just DOGE on both sides of the deal

When DOGE needed executive power it was USDS, a previously-excellent government tech shop that DOGE parasitized for this purpose. When it needed to avoid responsibility it was a vague "policy agenda" containing no real people.

Hungarian propaganda against Ukraine: what the Orban regime is spreading Kyiv is funding Hungarian opposition journalists to criticize Orban. Ukrainian Intelligence has taken control of the opposition party Tisza and …

Every time Viktor Orban criticizes Ukraine, the same narratives appear. And this is no coincidence. They quickly spread across Hungary’s pro-government media ecosystem.

Texty.org.ua investigated the logic and patterns behind these absurd narratives ⬇️

Here’s something you might not know if you’re not super rich.

Today is the day that people who make $1 million a year stop paying into Social Security.

Working people pay all year, but the rich get a break.

Lift the cap and pull millions of seniors out of poverty.

This is the most blasΓ© admission of a war crime by a US president in history.

Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

Debunking is useless against antisemitic
and antizionist libels. These are
unfalsifiable claims that do not respond to
counter-evidence.
Factual refutation sustains the illusion that
antizionism is a legitimate discourseβ€”one
in which Jews and Israel must continually
stand trial as the object of hostile
attention.
The task instead is to name antizionism
clearly, teach its history, explain how libels
function, and oppose them with resolve
and moral authority.

After over 4 years of resisting russia’s air attacks, Ukraine is ready to assist partner states in defending against Iranian drones.

One of the key elements of Ukraine’s air defenses are interceptor drones, fundraised via UNITED24.

How We’re All Now Paying the Price for the Myth of Trump’s Competence The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every dayβ€”mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he’s costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn’t want may be a good place to start. trib.al/PZf14Pr

When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."

But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.

They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.

Graham Platner is a Nazi sympathizer.

Hopefully someone in Maine local news can run with this and avoid a huge embarrassment for the state's real Democrats, followed by four more years of Susan Collins's deep concern.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Of course Platner knew what his Nazi symbol was. It changed his life. His tattoos were reviewed when he asked to return active duty; a trained officer looked for violations. The sleeve tattoos were OK. The Totenkopf was not. Platner chose to keep it. Somewhere in DoD, it’s all written down. 5/
