"One source familiar with the talks described them as "a departure from the usual acquisition process. There's an attitude that the national security and defense community has to be sensitive and deferential to Elon Musk because of his role in the government." tl;dr, "CORRUPTION"

Migrant detainees should be in a maximum-security El Salvador prison "for the rest of their lives," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says — despite a recent CBS News investigation that found more than 75% of those sent to the prison had NO criminal records.

Migrant detainees should be in El Salvador prison "for the rest of their lives," Noem says

The detainees were arrested and deported to a foreign, maximum-security prison without being given a court hearing.

The lie is that there’s anything they could find in someone’s social media that serves as grounds for revocation. Or that they care.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills. Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds. Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration? I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for *meaningful* opposition to each. I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

chart showing groups of opposition to Trump. Broad groups for lawsuits are Blue states, labour organisations, civil rights organisations, NGOs. Then there is a separate group for international rsponse and another one for non lawsuit response. A table of all actions is available here with any oppoistion highlighted: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LZN7QnbSyFfUZJG8Sn1MWpK0VnfBtb0OSyZ1jxP3xBk/edit?usp=sharing (worksheet "Actions with links")

The Pentagon has failed every audit since 2018, and the GAO (which is full of actual trained auditors, unlike "DOGE") reports hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars (*at least*) lost to military financial mismanagement. But sure, the problem is lifesaving science and your grandma's Social Security.

I hope every one of the tens of thousands of USAID employees and contractors and staff at USAID-funded nonprofits writes to 25 (or more!) people they know to share their stories of how these wannabe dictators are ripping apart their lives. Legality aside, people need to understand the human impact.
