Me: “The windshield?”
Him: “Yes! How do you see out of it when it’s slanted like that?”
Me: “Oh, yeah, it’s fine, I just do.”
Him: “It’s slanted like the Tilted Tower of Pazu.”
Me: “The Tilted Tower... Of Pazu?.. Oh, you mean the Leaning Tower of Pisa?”
Him: “Oh yeah, the Leaning Tower of Pizza.”
The result of Republicans destroying the balance of powers by surrendering the authority of the legislative branch in a show of fealty is that Elon has no reason not to come for their sacred cows too
This is terrifying but accurate. I spoke with the author @gilduran.com for @ondemocracychannel.bsky.social on @meidastouch.com this evening. It’s a must watch. Tomorrow night 11PM ET/8PM PT on MeidasTouch! www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-...
Vance now joining Musk in calling for the return of racist DOGE/Treasury employee Marko Elez. Vance also joins Musk in directing harassment at the reporter who broke the story. No one denies any facts in the reporting, they're just trying to intimidate the press out of doing any critical reporting
Over on the other site Elon is now laying the groundwork to bring Marko Elez *back* to Treasury and DOGE
Not so brilliant.
There's motive for Musk to commit treason.

A staffer for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge has links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism and eugenics
Reporter has similar following on both platforms. Same story about Elon Musk giving a eugenicist access to the Treasury payment systems. Same text above the story. Engagement- not the same. HMMMMMM maybe we should get Sherlock Holmes on the case
Just want to say that this is asinine as hell and having my boss and his colleagues fight for the Constitution - which all of us swore an oath to defend - and for the best of US foreign policy not to mention literally saving tens of thousands of lives is a fight worth fighting. Would do it again
I was very proud to represent @wired.com on CNN last night, and tell them what our reporting shows - so far - about Elon Musk’s infiltration of US government agencies. We published three more scoops later that same night, with more on the way…stay tuned!

"Just one more thing. You say you're trying to save the government billions, yet you're taking $30B to blow up rockets indiscriminately.
You have this crazy scheme where you pretend we're going to colonize Mars. To be perfectly frank with you, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're on drugs."
Which I believe is funded through USAID
Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.
MORE OF THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Another example of how this smugdoge billionaire illegal scheme hits is a friend’s friend works for Catholic Relief Services and is finding out if they have a job in a week. And they have found out their funding went from a $1.3 Billion organization to a $2.2 million dollar organization.
Especially at the hands of smugdog billionaires!
🚨Trump’s decision to shut down USAID has frozen critical work to deliver vital assistance around the globe, and put China in the driver’s seat.
We’re at USAID HQ fighting back against Trump’s outrageous assault on dedicated USAID workers. Tune in now:
Thank you Senator and thank you to your office for taking my call this morning!
Members of Congress with @beyer.house.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov now seeking entry at USAID
Members of Congress going into the US Agency for International Development!
Thank you, we see you!
Also a reminder that if you are reading good coverage, share/post those links, a lot has shifted and people need to know where to find information
HAPPENING NOW
WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt.
We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered.
Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.
Called my 2 senators and rep. 2 of them are actually out front of USAID right now.
Also, take a look at how faux news is telling this story as I saw on their social media. It ain’t good.
SIGN: Thank you, Feds! Stay strong!
A very respectable crowd outside of US AID offices in Washington, DC.
Made it! Can’t get close to the front of the press conference outside of US AID, or hear what they’re saying, and that’s a GOOD THING.
Great crowd for such short notice.
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
Lots of members who were in town in both chambers showing up to USAID to join locals @beyer.house.gov Connolly, Raskin, and Van Hollen, a couple dozen here now. They will attempt entry
