Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

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.

Lessons to be learned: 1. Centrists align with far-right to look tough on immigration 2. Centrists gain nothing 3. Far-right wins more power
German Opposition Gambles With Far-Right on Immigration, and Loses
Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democrats broke a political taboo by working with the hard-right Alternative for Germany to toughen rules on immigration. It did not pay off.In an effort to portray himself and his party as tough on immigration, Friedrich Merz, the leader of the poll-leading Christian Democrats, pushed a series of measures tightening borders and accelerating deportations through Parliament this week. He did so with help from the hard-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD — parts of which have been classified as extremist by German intelligence agencies.

On Friday, the gambit ended in a crushing legislative defeat for Mr. Merz, dissent in his own party and jubilant claims of new legitimacy from the AfD, a chain reaction that could rattle Mr. Merz’s comfortable seat at the top of the polls.

Mr. Merz’s willingness to rely on support from the AfD, broke a taboo in German politics that had endured since the end of World War II.
