Headlines suggest some dispute over data access at US AID.
*Not connecting the dots with other DOGE moves.

One thing that strikes me is that we've never had a president like actively and personally incite a recession or crash before. We've had policy and policymakers makes contribute to a crash, but we haven't really had someone push the Fuck The Economy Button

virtually every single thing musk does is to manipulate public perception, usually in order to manipulate markets to advantage him and disadvantage his competitors, and everything he says should be evaluated on those grounds

babe, wake up, new all-purpose excuse for white men's failures just dropped
J.D. Vance uses DEI to cover for a potentially white male pilot being at fault: "When you don't have the best standards in who you're hiring, it means, on the one hand, you're not getting the best people in government, but on the other hand, it puts stresses on the people who are already there."
Hesgeth and Vance use the Washington D.C. airliner-helicopter crash to make anti-diversity, equity and inclusion points, suggesting it was to blame for the collision.
The Vice President didn't even open his remarks by referencing the victims or families - just straight into anti-DEI points.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

🚨📊 I really don't like the Federalist Society. Over the weekend, I gathered what I think is the first large, systematic data set about them. (If I am wrong, tell me!) I am now creating this aggregated thread to tell you what I've learned so far. New stuff is at the end. #LawSky
