Elon is out there paying people to sign a petition. Just a little bribery, nothing to see here. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Rubio’s position seems to be: - We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us. - Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges. - After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.
On Hugh Hewitt’s show, Marco Rubio says El Salvador is “housing” people sent by the US. But he never says on what possible legal authority? These people haven’t committed any crime in El Salvador and by their own admission “many” have never committed a crime in the US. It all seems entirely lawless.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Veterans are marching across the nation tomorrow, March 14th, to protect their rights. We must help protect them as they protect us. Call your Democratic senators and ask them not to cave to the MAGAs demands. They work for us. Make your voices heard! Find their number on the thread below. 1/2

DOGE engineers as young as 19 have terrorized senior staffers at the Office of Personnel Management as they try to gain access to sensitive information. One young DOGE worker reportedly screamed at senior developers and called them “idiots” during a meeting.

Another Elon lie being used to dissolve USAID fact checked — “A viral claim spread by Musk suggests only 10% of USAID money reaches its intended beneficiaries… wildly incorrect and misleading… 10% of USAID payments are made DIRECTLY to organizations.” www.cgdev.org/blog/no-90-p...

Everybody who cares about democracy follow @wired.com such amazing and heartbreaking reporting. Democracy dying before our eyes. If this little pisher takes one penny of my Social Security check. which at 80 is the only income I have. He will rue the day. And it’s my money by the way.
If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.
Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private. Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene. / more for Canadians

It's a kind of coup, for sure. One we're not used to, and haven't experienced before, but it's definitely in the vicinity of a coup. An unelected billionaire literally taking over our government and our data and our secrets.
This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
