What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

it's true, I just checked, WTF
🚨 Google Maps erased history to appease a wannabe dictator.
The ‘Gulf of America’ is just the latest example of tech companies aiding and abetting authoritarianism while pretending to be neutral.

Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs.
And lying about their connection to Project 2025.
They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda.
And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

Very unwelcome news! H5N1 genotype D1.1 6 identified in 6 Nevada dairy herds. This is NOT the strain that's been circulating on farms so far. It's the strain that sent a 13yo girl in Canada to ICU, and that killed a man in Louisiana. Very bad time for a public health comms blackout.
