Welcome to 691. First, a lawyer tries to help a man craft a wish that won’t backfire (read by @nikolledoolin.bsky.social ). Then, a woman decides to help her neighbour… for not entirely selfless reasons (read by @alephbaker.bsky.social ). talestoterrify.com/episodes/691-sammy-krouse-dan-rafter

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process. Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

As Republicans threaten a government shutdown this weekend unless Democrats accept all their terms, it’s time for Democrats to remember their power. They are not the minority party; they are the OPPOSITION PARTY. Start acting like it!

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Did you know? American taxpayers would be saved $8 MILLION PER DAY if we simply canceled Elon Musk’s defense contracts.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

@aoc.bsky.social is correct both as a matter of political strategy and constitutional duty. Cooperating with Republicans to bail them out of their own failures isn't fulfilling some higher duty to the people, it's empowering the wrong side in the most severe constitutional crisis of our lifetimes.

The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze. Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts. Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

Half a billion dollars in US taxpayer-funded food aid is at risk of spoiling as it sits in ports, ships, and warehouses after Trump cut off funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Just a reminder that Musk’s companies have received over $15 billion from the US government — he’s happy to go after USAID but not the agencies that have been feeding him.

NOT NOW, MELVILLE. READ THE ROOM.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

So, what's the budget of DOGE? Is it part of the government? Is it independent? What are the guidelines, if any, that govern its reach and authority? Did people vote for Musk or Trump? Also, how does a private citizen have access to our Treasury's federal payment system?

Yes. Former Treasury and OMB officials explained to me in detail what sort of power Elon Musk has now been granted. They described it as akin to having his hands on a series of spigots that he can now turn on and off: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

I hope people see how truly alarming this is: 1. Musk's team, who may not even be US govt employees yet, have complete access to OPM's databases of PII on federal employees and have locked out career employees 2. Musk's people trying to do same with THE US TREASURY MASTER PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨

You guys, we are living through a coup 2.0. Except this time it looks like it will be successful, and a puerile, right-wing billionaire, not even POTUS, is going to be in charge of the U.S. Treasury, government personnel, and basically all of our personal data.

Voice-Actor Scam: I received an email offering me a voice-over role that is known as the “Game Show” voice-over scam. I’m including screenshots for the 1st and 2nd emails from the scammer. The 1st email was vague, but the 2nd set off red flags. Be cautious and stay safe. #voiceover #scam

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
