Clearly, this is a conspiracy theory. But, knowing MAGA/Trump’s tactics of mobilizing cultists through disinformation, it doesn’t seem so far-fetched. Sadly, we’ll have to wait until September for the SMART Elections lawsuit to have their next court date.
What if the 2020 #stopthesteal movement was a projection to discredit accusations of vote tampering in 2024. And the ICE/national guard thing is a distraction from the lawsuits?

They are like a project manager, but with more vested interest and domain expertise in the specific product (rather than the traditional cracking of the whip of the PM).
A product owner is the one who ultimately is responsible for what gets worked on when. They ensure all of the requirements have been gathered and pieces of work are correctly prioritized. They’re the ones who decide if a bug should be fixed before another or a new feature done before a bug fix
It’s making strong business analysis and product owner roles more valuable, and it reduces the need for designers to mock up prototypes.The next step of making the prototype do exactly what you want takes technical expertise. But AI is definitely changing how SW engineers work.
Couple that with the already generous tax-free gifting rules, and one ultra wealthy relative could gift the money to 20 relatives who could then benefit from the charity donation double-dipping.
Further, what is to prevent the ultra rich from coordinating donations to 100s of non-profits which, then donate right back to their kid? It’s a double-dip tax-doge scheme that will be used to list contributions as charity donations and have them deposited tax free in your child’s account.
This bit right here is perhaps the most suspicious part of the MAGA bill. Around 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck - meaning: the use of this financial vehicle to build generational wealth is already out of their reach.
MAGA Republicans clutching at their pearls about Comey saying 8647 is peak irony considering how many of their supporters were spouting 8646 not so long ago

@monroenyincidents.bsky.social thank you admin!
Trump just dismantled the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, which focuses on preventing, minimizing, and resolving work stoppages and labor disputes. It’s a perfect time to go on strike

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I loved my 2023 Kia EV6… until the ICC unit blew while I was driving it resulting in electrical system failure - inching onto a side road until the whole car died. It’s still a great car, but damn they rushed a few things.
Wtf was with this bullshit silent protest. We’re way beyond taking the high road. The entire section of democrats should have been chanting in unison “Fuck You Donald Trump” or “No King” or “Least Popular President” They should have chanted, in unison, and had a whole Let’s go Brandon moment.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.
Great point.
Turn on the closed captions - but can they read
"the revolution is about to be televised and you picked the right time but the wrong guy"
This is absolutely what prolonged Calvin Kline abuse looks like (cocaine + ketamine)
It is for exactly this reason I don’t trust Musk/DOGE - a small team working in secret without oversight or regard for procedure. It is why I don’t trust Trump’s purge of the federal bureaucracy and placement of loyalists in key positions.
I’m a firm believer that a large bureaucracy filled with redundancy, oversight, and procedure is the best defense against corruption and tyranny. The more people involved in getting anything done, the more likely any are going to have moral issue with unethical behavior and will push back.

Trump Tower Belgrade is a MASSIVE corruption scandal that has been virtually ignored by most media outlets.
Trump wants to make the US owners of one side of the Ben Gurion canal. In doing so, it would cement our alliance with Israel and put a period on the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza.
1. Let's be clear A central premise of the Trump admin is there is pervasive discrimination against hard-working white men, who are being replaced by less-qualified women and minorities So over the last 2 weeks Trump has implemented an aggressive affirmative action program for white men
Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

I stopped by the liquor store to say farewell to the massive selection of Kentucky bourbon on the shelves. We are the number one export market for Kentucky spirits. On Tuesday, all American booze is being pulled off the shelves. We will drink Canadian whiskey. True. North. Strong. Free of bourbon.
The National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.
Trump: Your wealth must be sacrificed for the greater good. Boy, this is starting to sound very National socialisty
Musk gained access to government payment systems and databases so he could use the private data of Americans to train his AI systems.
The intention behind cutting off aid to domestic non-profits is so the needy are required to turn to religious organizations for help. The intention behind cutting off international aid is genocide.
