The latest executive order has an embedded Easter egg: the sale of “unneeded” government-owned real estate assets, as determined by the Agency Heads in consultation with DOGE. This will be the payoff to the oligarchs and Trump’s cronies, following a chapter from Putin’s playbook.

Trump is beginning his retribution campaign against Ukraine--talking to Putin about "ending the war" without Zelensky participating while cutting off funding.

Anyone surprised that Bytedance would sell TikTok to Musk?
Musk wants to control media worldwide. He also wants more favorable treatment for his TSLA factories in China. China wants a platform to spread disinformation without government oversight.

January 21, the day after Trump's second inauguration, is the 15th anniversary of the adjudication of Citizens United, the key decision that has undermined our democracy.
Seems like an appropriate day to protest in front of the Supreme Court if you are near DC. Is anyone organizing this?

Is now the time for Dems to introduce a bill in Congress to reverse Citizens United? Much of the MAGA base is pissed at Musk right now and Reps in purple states may also see constituent support. It would need enough support for a discharge petition, 218 signatures, so one disaffected Republican.
