🚨NEW: This is horrific. Musk & DOGE closed the specialist unit at Yale tracking down Ukrainian children kidnapped & stolen by Russia. HOWEVER, it now emerges the entire database may have been DELETED, destroying years of research needed to find missing children. If so, there should be arrests.
The government broke the law, violated a court order, and lied about it, and now it is telling the court "you have no right to make us reveal our misconduct to the world." These people need to be put in their place fast or this kind of criminality will continue nonstop for 4 years!
Chilling details from a lawsuit against DOGE by USADF about how much of a lie DOGE's "IT modernization" is (the best way to describe it is if someone comes from the cable company and then says because he's in your house, he's allowed to do a home invasion) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald Trump, you’re a disgrace as a human being. While you may have gotten the presidency, you’re still a disgrace. You’re a convicted felon, a pervert, and you treat your allies with disdain while you kiss up to Putin. Anytime, anywhere, Donald—we will take you on.
And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.
Biden’s presidency concludes tomorrow, but his final week has been nothing short of historic: 2,500 commutations and a ceasefire deal between Israel and Gaza mark the end of his consequential term.
Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.
If we had universal healthcare, we wouldn’t have to create gofundme to pay for expensive medical treatments for the unfortunate.
So Trump’s Deportation Czar Tom Homan says it’s impossible to dramatically increase deportations with the current funding levels for DHS, so he needs a lot more money from Congress before he can do it. Which is exactly what the bipartisan border bill Trump killed was all about.
He orchestrated a coup. It failed. He was a convicted felon. He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. He promised to make things great again. He threatened to annex his neighbors. I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.
Kevin O’Leary down at MAL last night to kiss the ring and ask Trump to help him acquire Tik Tok.
