The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago.
You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.

We need to speak up. Even if we are afraid. Even if it hurts us. Because if we don't speak up today, there will be no tomorrow for us.

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

DOGE operative Marko Elez got the ability to alter US Treasury payment system code on Feb 1, WIRED's sources say.
For days, Trump officials fed members of Congress and the press a different story.
Elez is out now for posts reading "I was racist before it was cool" and "normalize Indian hate."

The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did
Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE's Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn't exist.

This is why I canceled my subscriptions to the WaPo and the NYT. The headlines normalize what Orange Hitler is doing. It should say "Trump's Gaza Plan is Batshit Insane And Leagally Ethnic Cleansing, A War Crime"

If President Musk really wanted to cut wasteful spending:
-Universal healthcare saves $650B
-Gun safety laws save $557B
-Ending direct & indirect fossil fuel subsidies saves $650B
-Funding the IRS saves $124B
But he doesn’t. He just needed an excuse to hijack the government.

This is how you know wall street is completely unconnected from the real economy. A tariff war has started, the poor and middle classes are going to suffer like they haven't since the Great Depression, and stocks are up 12 points.
Disgusting.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly
