If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government? That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.

The federal government *regularly* spends money to encourage behavior it couldn’t compel directly. Like paying states to build roads or fund healthcare for those who can’t afford it. It’s called the Spending Clause—and it’s the very first enumerated power that the Constitution gives to Congress. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I cannot tell you fucking dumb these statements are. The US govt spends a ton on contractors (including NGOs) to do stuff. Anything deemed not inherently governmental *by law* is legally required to be outsourced (see Circular A-76). This is how we have structured out govt forever!

Elon Musk and Bill Ackman agree that the us govt can use tax money to ffund NGOs that the government is not permitted to do itself.

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.

This image is a screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) stating that the "@DOGE team is rapidly shutting down these illegal payments." The tweet is a quote tweet of another tweet from General Mike Flynn (@GenFlynn), which alleges that Lutheran Family Services and affiliated organizations receive large amounts of taxpayer money and claims that religion is being used as a money laundering operation. Below Flynn's tweet, there is an image of a spreadsheet containing financial data related to these transactions. The Twitter interface shows engagement metrics, including 4K comments, 12K retweets, 55K likes, and 5.3 million views. A "Rate proposed Community Notes" button is also visible.

This would be, quite simply, the death of our Republic. If an unelected oligarch can simply walk into the state and seize control of the bureaucracy, we are doomed. That would mean less vertical and horizontal accountability in our government than a monarchy.

yesterday it came to light that calvin robinson, a priest who recently lost his license for giving an elon-esque nazi salute at a pro life conference, owns a video game site called god is a geek. today the site's entire staff quit in protest aftermath.site/god-is-a-gee...

In a statement posted to God Is A Geek, the site’s staff reiterated that Robinson did not actively participate in its operations, but that they nonetheless felt compelled by his recent actions to cease publication entirely.

“We have run the site independently of Calvin for several years now in the hopes that we would not have to lose the hard work we have poured into it, the access we have worked hard for, and the relationships we have developed,” God Is A Geek’s editorial team wrote. “However, it has become increasingly clear that we can no longer separate the site from the owner. As a result, the entire editorial team will be stepping down with immediate effect. We will create a new site and our future content will be published there, bereft of any connection to Calvin Robinson. It will be hard to start again, hard to walk away from the work we’ve done here off our own backs, but this is the right thing to do.”
