“Agents of unelected billionaire Elon #Musk's DOGE have gained access to highly restricted records on millions of federal employees — including officials in sensitive security positions — as part of an effort to win control over the government's personnel agency.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/02/06/elon-musk-doge-access-personnel-data-opm-security/
His agents are securing direct communication and control over the federal bureaucracy by attacking and controlling #opm and #gsa #IT systems. Thread about that here: https://federated.press/@NiftyLinks/113927598764386780
Simultaneously, they're attempting to get control of the centralized #finance and #monetary payment systems at the department of the #treasury ?
Where's #uscybercom and the #NSA?
NEW: The Department of Labor (DOL) agrees to not share any records with DOGE before a hearing for a long-term block on DOGE's access takes place tomorrow. As of now, #Musk’s faux agency has not been able to access DOL data.

TRUMP REPUBLICANS:
Screwing you, enriching billionaires, betraying America
• Price-hiking tariffs
• Tax breaks for billionaires
• Pardons of violent Jan. 6 criminals
• Job-killing halt of construction projects
• Racist and sexist attacks on military leaders
• Abandonment of our NATO allies and Ukraine
• Corrupt turnover of power and private data to Musk
• Cuts to healthcare, consumer protection, and education

Fox News [sic] host Dagen McDowell claims that Elon #Musk's DOGE boys having "read-only" access to the government's data and payment systems is "the equivalent of when the boyfriend picks up the girlfriend's phone just to look at it and see what’s in it and the chick freaks out."
Keep ’em coming
“Letitia James of New York and 11 other state attorneys general said that they would sue over a cost-cutting initiative that had given young aides to Elon #Musk broad access to the federal government’s most fundamental computer systems.”

How Musk likes to see himself: the Master of Master Blaster. He would do well to remember how this character met his end.
Musk has indicated on X that he thinks he's ready for a post-apocalyptic world, showing a picture of Max next to his car in Mad Max 2. This is much closer to how he would survive. Riding on the back of useful idiots while living in a world of darkness and shit.
Edit: Sorry, I wasn't happy with the helmet's shadow on Trump's face - or rather, the lack of one. #Nitpick
Edit2: Sorry again, there was no shadow on Musk's face, either. It looked too flat. A bit better now. Last edit, I promise. 😁
President Donald Trump has given Elon Musk sweeping authority to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy and its operations around the globe.
ProPublica confirmed the identities and roles of more than 20 key people affiliated with Musk.
“Fed workers associations filed suit late Thur asking a fed court to stop #Trump admin’s “effective dismantling” of lead US aid agency.
The lawsuit by American Foreign Service Assoc & American Federation of Govt Employees comes as Trump admin & #Musk are targeting USAID for eradication, freezing its $ & placing almost all of its workers on leave or furlough”

YES!! They’ve seen enough!🥳
Decision Desk always gets it early and right!
Susan Crawford was projected to win an open seat on the #Wisconsin Supreme Court race, keeping the high court’s 4-3 liberal majority intact and delivering a blow to Elon #Musk and #Trump, according to Decision Desk HQ.

"For Christians here and across the world, the ongoing confrontation over the fate of USAID dramatically illustrates the moral degeneration of the politicians who most fervently profess their piety. ...
The agency’s single largest contractor is Catholic Relief Services, which has provided billions of dollars in assistance to impoverished communities on every continent."

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew
https://projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-doge-tracker/
"Musk’s team, known as the Dept of Govt Efficiency, has already thrown entire swaths of the federal #government & its programs into disarray — programs that serve millions of #Americans.
#Musk himself has made no secret of his intentions, saying that #DOGE is a “wood chipper for bureaucracy” and that he is “deleting” agencies."

After a NY judge blocked DOGE access to Treasury data, Elon #Musk just reposted a user who implied that the judge’s order should be defied ⬇️ 👇
“I don’t like the precedent it sets when you defy a judicial ruling, but I’m just wondering what other options are these judges leaving us…”

這些話看來可以至少置頂四年。
這一篇就專門用來放些想法，
有想到的就會單獨更新這篇。
Trump是近二十年來美國最大的國安危機，
也會為民主自由世界帶來難以估量的破壞。
在川粉，馬粉和MAGA們的世界裡，
Trump說的話是他們的毛語錄，
Musk發的文是他們的真理報。
I REALLLYY like the Send the President a Postcard movement, because:
a) I love postcards
b) I like imagining all the giggles every postal worker, etc will get seeing it
c) Everyone can do it
Please tell me you'll join in and send a postcard, or 2?
I created this graphic tonight to share - it's the idea from @BrianJopek
The endless buffoonery ceases to mitigate the fact that these jackasses are in charge and half the idiots in the US voted for this. It's broken my brain and I'm still in shock. They've got Buttegieg dropping F-bombs
> [#Musk’s] grandfather headed a fringe political movement in #Canada in the 1930s, Technocracy Incorporated, which sought to abolish #democracy in favour of government by elite technicians, but its overtones of #fascism saw it banned during the second world war.

This democratic Senator, Mark Kelly, said nothing special in his message on X. Still Musk found it necessary to call him a "traitor" , just for visiting Ukraine and expressing his support.
