Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:

A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.

Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Look, everybody’s deaf now. Back in the Golden Age, they just had symphonies, quartets and hootenannies! Nothing processed, no vinyl, no electronics - and only Beethoven was deaf! The deal down at the Crossroads changed everything!

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

I rarely do this, but here goes.

Dems should have VERY clear messaging on supplemental tied to the ouster of Whiskey Pete, Jared, and Witkoff. They've all ABSOLUTELY bolloxed the situation and if Trump wants $$, he needs to get rid of all of them.

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

This is what happens when you have a president that is able to be blackmailed for the most heinous crimes against children by two leaders with nukes. He let's them both do whatever they want.

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheahan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name and logo, which ICE agentsβ€”notoriously averse to advertising their presenceβ€”will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

Q-ANON is strangely silent since Trump election and Epstein filegate… maybe they didn’t really care about the kids and the trafficking and the lack of morals in (mostly) men, like Trump.

Murphy: β€œI think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school β€” I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war β€” I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

The Board of Oracle, as publicly traded, has a fiduciary duty to make sure the CEO doesn’t jeopardize the company… in the fiduciary equation there used to be an understanding that to capture or monopolize a govt supply chain you could not make it contingent on β€œOne Party” govt control…

Musk is just one example. A huge chunk of Silicon Valley bowed down to Trump, ranging between the begrudging, the opportunistic, and the enthusiastic. Professor Francesca Bria has referred to the emerging: β€œAuthoritarian Stackβ€œβ€” β€œa network of firms, funds, and political actors turning core state functions into private platforms.” She points out that the key actors in the Silicon Valley right β€” including Anduril, Palantir and venture capital funders like AndreessenHorowitz β€” are closely connected and working with one another. They also, crucially, share an ideology that places them as empire-makers able to compete with sovereign states.

Another example: Larry Ellison joined phone calls about overturning the 2020 election, and Trump has enabled him and his son to expand their media empire via TikTok, Paramount (including CBS News) and now Warner (including CNN). Also: HBO, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, TNT.

Larry Ellison is another example of the authoritarian stack in government. Oracle is a long-time government contractor, unlike some newer members of the stack, and Ellison is now using his fortune to build a media empire that will be critical of Dems. Why keep paying him?

The obvious example here is Elon Musk. Musk is an explicitly white nationalist political force now, aligned with Republicans, but implementing his politics by supporting the far right in at least 18 countries around the world. Within the US, he was Trump’s largest donor during the 2024 campaign, and used his position in government to dismantle parts of government that progressives have championed, often in legally questionable ways.

The U.S. government has developed a multi-layered dependence on Musk’s companies, particularly in aerospace, national security, and digital infrastructure. If it wants to send astronauts to space, or bring them home, it increasingly must turn to Musk. The DOD depends upon Musk for both Starlink for internet service, and for military-use satellites. Grok has been embedded into government, including the Pentagon. Most recently, HHS is sending users to Grok as part of its Make America Healthy Again campaign.

A third sovereignty concern: your contractor is your ideological enemy, deeply embedded in government, with more resources than many nation states, and willing to use his power to undermine your policy goals. I don't think Dems have thought through if and how they would dislodge such contractors.
