This story about what looks like sketchy doge infiltration of NLRB data is well worth the time. DOGE = Dishonorable Operatives Grabbing Everything.

Thanks for the link, 2jung. Interesting, scary read.
Thanks cook, sort of sorry for even bringing it up because the weather's so damn awesome this morning. I was just out at a small farm, no worries about any of this junk for an hour or two.
Has anyone investigated the Kremlin connection to the DOGE Bros? The entire Trump presidency is a Russian operation, I suspect.
So many times, life imitates art, particularly sci-fi. I cannot shake replays in my mind of the opening scene from the movie,Terminator.
Every time I see a camera moving through the streets of Gaza, I imagine what it must be like to be a fighter there. Armed drones overhead, directing lethal fire to rain down on you… while high tech soldiers, looking almost like machines themselves, crunch the bones of the dead under their boots. All overseen by a world-wide satellite network.
Elon Musk is a very impressionable young man. He has his own agenda. I wonder what it really is…
Have you read about Musk's grandfather and technocracy? That might explain some of it. Here's a link (one among quite a few) in case you haven't. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/opinion/elon-musk-doge-technocracy.html
Trump is Reducing the Global Economic & Political Power of the U.S.
We're one of the few empires to voluntarily give up our power
Who's volunteering? It's being wrested away from us.
Gift Link — WAPO on The deportation standoff sending the U.S. toward a constitutional crisis
Nothing particularly new in the story today … but there is a full explanation of the Mad!-ministration's self-serving statements and a listing of why the Supreme Court's instructions have not yet explicitly made the dilemma precisely clear.
This is chickenshit writing from WaPo. We are in the fucking middle of a constitutional crisis. It's not "looming," we're not "headed towards it," it is fucking here. From the DOJ lawyers stonewalling judges, to the DOJ ignoring court orders, to the DOJ lying to the court, to the Executive branch ignoring a unanimous order from SCOTUS–the ultimate arbiter of what the Constitution means. Stop sugar-coating it.
I guess the Heroin Junkie with the Brain Worm has decided that "The Server" that Cheeto Mussolini was blabbering about is located at HHS
The purging of IT and cybersecurity staff at the Department of Health and Human Services could threaten the systems used by the agency’s staff and the safety of critical health data.
Chuck Grassley just lost his next election. (Well, he's 91 and his term doesn't end until 2029)
