so not a fascist anymore?Trump absolutely is fascist and also revolutionary, hence the comparison with Lenin and Mao.

Particularly on the party politics, the ideological streamlining of the whole of government and the culty vibes, Trump more resembles revolutionary socialists than anyone in American history

An executive branch that works towards enacting the agenda the peoples just voted for is as American as it gets.an executive branch that tramples and abuses the people, that destroys and suborns their government, that strips them of their rights and wastes their prosperity, forfeits its own legitimacy

"for the convenience of the US government"


The Trump administration has ended funding (https://apnews.com/article/trump-musk-rubio-usaid-foreign-aid-bf442d62af67918a6fc5eee839074601) to U.N. World Food Program emergency programs helping keep millions alive in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and 11 other impoverished countries, many of them struggling with conflict, according to the organization and officials who spoke to The Associated Press.

The World Food Program, the largest provider of food aid, appealed to the U.S. to roll back the new cuts in a social media post (https://x.com/WFP/status/1909340722937184574?t=oRKPlvRCc7uMbxvkOYLHlQ&s=19) Monday. The unexpected round of contract cancellations has targeted some of the last remaining humanitarian programs run by the U.S. Agency for International Development (https://apnews.com/article/trump-musk-rubio-usaid-foreign-aid-bf442d62af67918a6fc5ee), according to two U.S. officials, a United Nations official and documents obtained by the AP.

“This could amount to a death sentence for millions of people facing extreme hunger and starvation,” WFP said on X.

The agency said it was in contact with the Trump administration “to urge for continued support” for lifesaving programs and thanked the United States and other donors for past contributions.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other administration officials had pledged to spare emergency food programs and other life-and-death aid from deep cuts to U.S. foreign assistance. There was no immediate comment Monday from the State Department.

The projects were being canceled “for the convenience of the U.S. Government” at the direction of Jeremy Lewin (https://apnews.com/article/usaid-doge-musk-trump-state-department-b04f4fe0d9c9c0475d337282ec69b3a0), a top lieutenant at Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (https://apnews.com/article/trump-musk-doge-tesla-government-cuts-c47211544c5382a6207779ee95c6060b) who was appointed to oversee the elimination of USAID programs, according to termination notices sent to partners and viewed by the AP.

Source: Agency documents assembled by The New York Times

If anything, this list is an undercount. Through his executive (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/establishing-and-implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency/) orders (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/stopping-waste-fraud-and-abuse-by-eliminating-information-silos/), Mr. Trump has sought to grant Mr. Musk’s group access to “all unclassified agency records” (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/establishing-and-implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency/) — a category that leaves out national security secrets but that includes personally sensitive information on virtually everyone in America.
With such data stitched together, Mr. Musk and the White House have said they could better hunt for waste, fraud and abuse.

“The way the government is defrauded is that the computer systems don’t talk to each other,” Mr. Musk said in a recent Fox News interview (https://www.foxnews.com/video/6370654580112). Link the data, he suggested, and the government could identify swindlers who collect aid from one agency when the I.R.S. knows their income is too high or when the Social Security Administration knows their age is too low.

But critics such as privacy groups, public employee unions and immigrant rights associations who have sued to block the group’s data access warn that so much accumulated information could be used for far more than detecting fraud — and would be illegal.

This assembled data, they say, would give the government too much power, including potentially to punish critics and police immigrants. It would create a national security vulnerability that could be targeted by hostile nation states. And it would break a longstanding covenant between the federal government and the U.S. public rooted in privacy laws — that Americans who share their personal data with official agencies can trust that it will be secured and used only for narrow purposes.

wrecking public capacity to create opportunities for more waste, fraud and abuse is what it's all about


DOGE just announced more layoffs at TTS, the government’s vaunted tech group, sources say (https://www.fastcompany.com/91314630/doge-just-announced-more-layoffs-at-tts) (https://www.fastcompany.com/91314630/doge-just-announced-more-layoffs-at-tts)

Elon Musk’s group is accomplishing its goals in part by creating dysfunction and paralysis within government agencies, insiders say.




TTS has long been responsible for building and maintaining key government websites and systems that enable U.S. citizens to access services ranging from veterans benefits to tax payments.https://www.fastcompany.com/91314630/doge-just-announced-more-layoffs-at-tts

when you do a forensic audit, you don't exfiltrate sensitive information and cover your tracks like a black hat hacker

all these DOGE characters need to go to prison for what they're doing with our data


But according to an official whistleblower disclosure shared with Congress and other federal overseers that was obtained by NPR, subsequent interviews with the whistleblower and records of internal communications, technical staff members were alarmed about what DOGE engineers did when they were granted access, particularly when those staffers noticed a spike in data leaving the agency. It's possible that the data included sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets — data that four labor law experts tell NPR should almost never leave the NLRB and that has nothing to do with making the government more efficient or cutting spending.

Meanwhile, according to the disclosure and records of internal communications, members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access — evasive behavior that several cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR compared to what criminal or state-sponsored hackers might do.

DOGE wrecks absolutely critical stuff

Could the private sector do this? Sure

But cutting off the money without a ready replacement would be reckless


"CVE is a cornerstone of cybersecurity, and any gaps in CVE support will put our critical infrastructure and national security at unacceptable risk," Luta Security founder and CEO Katie Moussouris, who pioneered Microsoft's vulnerability disclosure program, told The Register.


"All industries worldwide depend on the CVE program to keep their heads above water when it comes to managing threats, so an abrupt halt like this would be like depriving the cybersecurity industry of oxygen and expecting it to spontaneously sprout gills," Moussouris said.


It basically works like this: When an individual researcher or an organization discovers a new bug in some product, a CVE program partner — there are currently a few hundred across 40 countries (https://www.cve.org/PartnerInformation/ListofPartners) — is asked to assess the vulnerability report and assign (https://blog.httpcs.com/en/cve-en/) a unique CVE identifier for the flaw if and as necessary.


The program is sponsored (https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities#:~:text=The%20CVE%20Program%20is%2 0sponsored,catalog%20publicly%20disclosed%20cybers ecurity%20vulnerabilities.), and largely funded (https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_70RCSJ23FR0000015_7001_70RSAT20D00000001_ 7001) by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, aka CISA, under the umbrella of the US Department of Homeland Security.


"I can say that, having been in this industry for longer than CVEs themselves, it won't be good," Dustin Childs, head of threat awareness at Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative, told The Register.



"Before CVEs, each company referred to vulnerabilities using their own vernacular," he added. "Customers were confused about whether they were protected or impacted from a particular bug. And was a time when there were much fewer companies and infinitely fewer bugs."


To put this in perspective: More than 40,000 new CVEs (https://jerrygamblin.com/2025/01/05/2024-cve-data-review//) were published last year.


"If MITRE were to lose funding for the CVE, we can expect considerable confusion again until someone else picks up the flag," Childs continued, noting that this would require some sort of industry consortium — but nothing along those lines currently exists.


"Vulnerability management will become a mess as enterprises struggle to confirm they are in compliance with regulations and directives," he said. "Let's hope this is resolved quickly."



The CVE program is a critical resource globally used by nearly every organization in the world, so the implications of a pause will have downstream implications for security tooling, security teams, and every organization that cares about securityhttps://www.theregister.com/2025/04/16/homeland_security_funding_for_cve/

black bag hackers don't observe best practices



Berulis said he and several colleagues saw a black SUV and police escort enter the garage, after which building security let the DOGE staffers in. They interacted with a small number of staffers, never introducing themselves to most of the IT team.

Berulis says he was told by colleagues that DOGE employees demanded the highest level of access, what are called "tenant owner level" accounts inside the independent agency's computer systems, with essentially unrestricted permission to read, copy and alter data, according to Berulis' disclosure.

When an IT staffer suggested a streamlined process to activate those accounts in a way that would let their activities be tracked, in accordance with NLRB security policies, the IT staffers were told to stay out of DOGE's way, the disclosure continues.

For cybersecurity professionals, a failure to log activity is a cardinal sin and contradicts best practices as recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework) and the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, as well as the FBI and the National Security Agency.

"That was a huge red flag," said Berulis. "That's something that you just don't do. It violates every core concept of security and best practice."

Keep in mind that DOGE’s aim is not to reduce inefficiency. It’s to reduce government operations in a very big way so as to:


Immiserate the poor and others DOGE deems to be burdensome…like Social Security beneficiaries who paid into the system, often over decades

Eliminate or wreck government functions so that the private sector can take over. But as we know, the government has been on an outsourcing kick for decades, so the idea that functions now operated at the Federal level can be done better by outsiders is suspect. This campaign is all about the opportunity for looting, and the harm to the operation of commerce and society be damned.

DOGE as a fraud: Claiming savings while increasing costs. We highlighted an earlier DOGE spreadsheet that claimed to show the source and amount of DOGE’s asserted cost reduction and showed that many of the biggest items were false. For instance, DOGE took credit for contacts that had already been terminated, and on top of that, cited the maximum authorized amount, when the actual expenditures were lower, often greatly so. DOGE then greatly reduced the information it presents so as to preserve its ability to lie.


DOGE as destruction: Tearing down the highly efficient Social Security Administration, as opposed to taking on the pork machine of defense spending


DOGE as fraud: Taking credit for finding abuses so well known they’ve been the subject of Congressional hearings, and resulted from Trump 1.0 expanded unemployment benefits. From Associated Press (https://apnews.com/article/doge-trump-musk-unemployment-aa033544cb4e7167d0f310f0f93bbede):


The latest government waste touted by billionaire Elon Musk’s cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency is hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent unemployment claims it purportedly uncovered.


One problem: Federal investigators already found what appears to be the same fraud, years earlier and on a far greater scale…

“They’re trying to spin this narrative of, ‘Oh, government is inefficient and government is stupid and they’re catching these things that the government didn’t catch,’” says Michele Evermore, who worked on unemployment issues at the U.S. Department of Labor during the administration of former President Joe Biden.

“They’re finding fraud that was marked as fraud and saying they found out it was fraud….

DOGE KEEPS IT UNDER WRAPS: The battle to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding DOGE and its operations is coming to a head in several lawsuits…


Many of the anti-DOGE….lawyers are trying to answer questions like: What is the basic structure of DOGE? Which officials were involved in cutting-and-slashing efforts? And what sort of access does DOGE have to sensitive agency systems?…


But the Justice Department is fighting vigorously to shield DOGE from having to divulge that information, despite Trump and ELON MUSK’s repeated assurances about transparency. The administration has refused to provide testimony from virtually every official that plaintiffs have tried to depose — and especially from people who work for DOGE.

DOGE as a fraud: Endangering national security, stealing data apparently to target opponents like organized labor. This is a much bigger caper than the Watergate break-in, but hacking is so common that even when insiders do it to abuse their power, the outrage is muted. From NPR which broke the story (https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security):


In the first days of March, a team of advisers from President Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency initiative arrived at the Southeast Washington, D.C., headquarters of the National Labor Relations Board.
The small, independent federal agency investigates and adjudicates complaints about unfair labor practices. It stores reams of potentially sensitive data, from confidential information about employees who want to form unions to proprietary business information.

The DOGE employees, who are effectively led by White House adviser and billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk, appeared to have their sights set on accessing the NLRB’s internal systems….

But according to an official whistleblower disclosure shared with Congress and other federal overseers that was obtained by NPR, subsequent interviews with the whistleblower and records of internal communications, technical staff members were alarmed about what DOGE engineers did when they were granted access, particularly when those staffers noticed a spike in data leaving the agency. It’s possible that the data included sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets — data that four labor law experts tell NPR should almost never leave the NLRB and that has nothing to do with making the government more efficient or cutting spending.

Meanwhile, according to the disclosure and records of internal communications, members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access — evasive behavior that several cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR compared to what criminal or state-sponsored hackers might do.



Threats against the whistleblower have a guilty look:


crazy. an NLRB whistleblower who shared concerns about DOGE’s activities with government officials was subjected to attempted blackmail and/or surveillance, likely by DOGE staff, in retaliation.

DOGE as fraud: Forcing resignation of tech experts, thus risking cyber attacks. People who actually know something about the relevant entity and have some tech chops might show up DOGE, and worse, rat out to external parties how DOGE is doing a piss poor job. One fresh case is the resignation of DoD ‘SWAT team of nerds.’ From Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/15/pentagons-digital-resignations-00290930):



Under pressure from the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, nearly all the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning over the coming month….

The Defense Digital Service was created in 2015 to help the Pentagon adopt fast tech fixes during national security crises and push Silicon Valley-style innovation inside the Pentagon. It built rapid response tools for the military during the Afghanistan withdrawal, databases to transfer Ukrainian military and humanitarian aid, drone detection technologies and more.

Without the program, some key efforts to streamline the DOD’s tech talent pipeline and counter adversarial drones will be sunset…

Several other digital modernization efforts within the government have met similar fates. The U.S. Digital Service, which helped the government modernize its technology and attract tech talent, has now been subsumed by DOGE, amid mass layoffs and firings. A program called 18F, a technology unit within the GSA, was eliminated by DOGE as well….

One former senior Pentagon official, who asked not to be named because of possible retaliation, described DOGE’s wider incursion into the Defense Department as damaging and unproductive

“They’re not really using AI, they’re not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything,” the former official said.

DOGE rampage enters the National Gallery

DOGE is not a proper US agency


Representatives from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency met with leadership at the National Gallery of Art on Thursday, according to an email from the director to staff of the fine arts museum.

National Gallery Director Kaywin Feldman and Secretary and General Counsel Luis Baquedano discussed the museum’s legal status with DOGE representatives, per the email seen by Bloomberg CityLab.



The National Gallery is a public-private partnership that receives funding from Congress for its day-to-day operations but draws the bulk of its support for acquisitions and growth from a private trust. The museum is not part of any branch of government and is overseen by a board of trustees, although that board has historically included government officials, among them current trustee Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-18/washington-dc-national-gallery-of-art-gets-a-visit-from-doge

Thiel and Musk are buddies going back all the way to PayPal, I think

Hacking payments and creating a digital panopticon in government are significant preconditions of totalitarian control


For almost two years, the British government has been holding an inquiry-cum-whitewash into the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the recent witnesses to that inquiry was Louis Mosley, the executive vice-president of Palantir Technologies UK (and, incidentally, the grandson of the 1930s British fascist Oswald Mosley), who during his testimony saw a rare opportunity (https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/25/palantir_covid_inquiry_comments/) to plug his company’s products. It was one he seized upon with relish.

The UK government, he said, should invest in a “common operating system” for its data, encompassing the full gamut of departments and local authorities — a system that Palantir would presumably be more than happy to develop:


“[The government should] deploy this common operating system capability immediately and not wait until the next pandemic or civil challenge on the scale of COVID-19 is already underway. An investment of this kind is already long overdue.”


This comment is very similar to a remark made by Palantir’s Chief Technology Operator Shyam Sankar in 2021 — with regard to the US government:


Turning to government, we continue to advance our mission of becoming the US government’s central operating system as we extend our footprint across defence, healthcare and civilian agencies.


As outlandish as the idea may seem that one company could aspire to exclusively provide and manage a central operating system for the governments of both the US and the UK, there can be no doubting Palantir’s ambitions to expand its influence throughout government on both sides of the Atlantic. This is a company, after all, whose founder, Peter Thiel, has long marketed himself as a libertarian while lauding the benefits of monopoly capitalism and helping build the infrastructure of the modern surveillance state.

As Iain Davis writes in his excellent two-part series (https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/03/investigative-reports/the-dark-maga-gov-corp-technate-part-2/) on the “Dark MAGA Gov-Corp Technate”, the “proponents of Technocracy and the proponents of the Dark Enlightenment, such as Elon Musk and Thiel, are not interested in restricting state power, though they may say otherwise”:


Instead they wish to move the state from the public to the private sector and expand its power once sufficiently privatized. True, they oppose “representative democracy” and characterise it as both a “democracy” (which it isn’t) and a bureaucratic system riddled with problems (which it is), but the solutions they offer, to all intents and purposes, magnify the power of the very state they supposedly condemn.

What the believers in Technocracy and the believers in the Dark Enlightenment both propose are compartmentalised, hierarchical sociopolitical power structures that couldn’t be more state-like or more authoritarian. They seek to expand and maximise the power of the state, though in slightly different ways. Calling their new model of the state either a Technate (as technocrats do) or a gov-corp (as accelerationist neoreactionaries do) doesn’t change the nature of the tyrannical statism they desire to foist on the rest of us.

One milestone was the April 2009 discussion hosted at Cato Unbound among libertarian thinkers (including Patri Friedman and Peter Thiel) in which disillusionment with the direction and possibilities of democratic politics was expressed with unusual forthrightness. Thiel summarized the trend bluntly: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

In 2023, Trump proposed (https://archive.is/fZDEO) establishing ten so called “Freedom Cities” in the US. The mainstream media focused on his comments about “flying cars,” but he was really talking about embryonic gov-corp Technates.

Reportedly (https://archive.is/ZbZGb), the FCC is now supposedly “in discussion” with the Trump administration to create gov-corp Technates across the US. Trey Goff said “the energy in DC is absolutely electric” and the ambition was to create “not just ten, but as many as the market can handle.”

If approved by Congress, these “startup nations” — neoreactionary realms — will be city states like Próspera. The FCC calls these “special districts” Prosperity Zones. The technopopulist offer is to unleash innovation, onshore employment opportunities and revitalise the American economy. The FCC objective is to “accelerate the development of new urban centers.”

Freedom Cities will operate in de facto US ZEDEs. The objective is to remove all regulation and allow tech-oligarchs the freedom to do whatever they like. These will be cities without limits, say the FCC (https://web.archive.org/web/20250307211752/https://www.freedomcitiescoalition.com/why-freedom-cities) and will be “zones of regulatory clarity and economic dynamism, [. . .] allowing entrepreneurs and builders to move at the speed of human ingenuity.”

A recent exposé (https://archive.ph/QAY9E#selection-1883.0-1883.184) by WIRED, citing IRS sources, suggests that Palantir is also participating in an effort by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to build a new “mega API” for accessing Internal Revenue Service records:



APIs are application programming interfaces, which enable different applications to exchange data and could be used to move IRS data to the cloud and access it there. DOGE has expressed an interest in the API project possibly touching all IRS data, which includes taxpayer names, addresses, social security numbers, tax returns, and employment data. The IRS API layer could also allow someone to compare IRS data against interoperable datasets from other agencies.


Should this project move forward to completion, DOGE wants Palantir’s Foundry software to become the “read center of all IRS systems,” a source with direct knowledge tells WIRED, meaning anyone with access could view and have the ability to possibly alter all IRS data in one place. It’s not currently clear who would have access to this system.

Foundry is a Palantir platform that can organize, build apps, or run AI models on the underlying data. Once the data is organized and structured, Foundry’s “ontology” layer can generate APIs for faster connections and machine learning models. This would allow users to quickly query the software using artificial intelligence to sort through agency data, which would require the AI system to have access to this sensitive information.


In other words, while sources within the Trump Administration, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, were recently claiming that Trump was toying with the idea of eliminating the IRS altogether, presumably to impress his libertarian followers, the stone-cold reality is that DOGE, with Palantir’s help, is looking to expand and streamline the IRS’ data collection and use.

Congress stands up to DOGE a little bit because it's their privacy on the line now


The implications of Trump’s installing a close ally as librarian of Congress could be far-reaching.

For instance, the librarian could see requests made by lawmakers to the Congressional Research Service, which are usually seen only by the requesting office and the CRS itself, according to a congressional aide who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The nonpartisan agency is largely known as the think tank of Capitol Hill and provides analyses meant to help lawmakers in the legislative process. But Democrats are already concerned about what kind of information Trump-appointed officials could access in a process that is typically confidential between CRS and lawmakers.

Senior House Democrats on Monday also raised the prospect that data held by the Library of Congress, which holds a vast archive of books and historical documents, could have been improperly transferred to the executive branch, including officials at Trump adviser Elon Musk’s (https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-starbase-texas-city-7863bf3bac65e9718eef19b27978933b) Department of Government Efficiency.

Unauthorized information sharing “could compromise legislative branch independence and the ability of Members of Congress to carry out their constitutional duties,” according to the letter, which was signed by lawmakers including New York Rep. Joe Morelle and Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the top Democrats on the House Administration and Appropriations committees, respectively. They are asking for an inspector general investigation.

Since returning to office (https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-inauguration-swearing-capitol-b3549ebe5dae74a872502aa79def7a11) in January, Trump has purged officials he regards as opposed to him and to his Republican agenda. Hayden, nominated by President Barack Obama in 2015 and confirmed on a 74-18 Senate vote the following year, named Perlmutter as head of the Copyright Office in 2020.

Shortly before her firing, Perlmutter’s office released a highly anticipated report that questioned the legality of the tech industry’s use of copyrighted works to “train” their artificial intelligence systems and compete with the human-made works they were trained on.

Tech companies have argued their AI training practices are protected by the “fair use” doctrine, which allows for limited uses of copyrighted materials such as for teaching, research or transforming the copyrighted work into something different. Perlmutter’s report questioned those assumptions, arguing that “making commercial use of vast troves of copyrighted works to produce expressive content that competes with them in existing markets, especially where this is accomplished through illegal access, goes beyond established fair use boundaries.”
The report — despite being marked as “pre-publication” — quickly made waves in legal circles after it was posted online late last week, winning praise from creators who have challenged the tech industry in court, and criticism from a tech industry trade group.

It was the third and final part of a yearslong study that Perlmutter began in 2023, with the intent to advise Congress and others on whether reforms are needed. The report didn’t call for government intervention, and its nuanced findings hold no official weight in the numerous copyright infringement lawsuits now pending against tech companies.

But attention around the report grew after Perlmutter’s firing Saturday, including from Trump’s supporters.

Mike Davis, a lawyer who regularly defends Trump, posted an alarm emoji on social media and warned: “Now tech bros are going to attempt to steal creators’ copyrights for AI profits. This is 100% unacceptable.”

palace intrigue


The appointments of Blanche, Perkins, and Nieves are the result of furious lobbying over the weekend by the conservative content industry — as jealously protective of its copyrighted works as any other media companies — as well as populist Republican lawmakers and lawyers (https://www.theverge.com/politics/651439/maga-tech-populism-antitrust-bannon-lina-khan-ftc), all enraged that Silicon Valley had somehow persuaded Trump to fire someone who’d recently criticized AI companies.


The populists were particularly rankled over Perlmutter’s removal from the helm of the Copyright Office, which happened the day after the agency released a pre-publication version (https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intelligence-Part-3-Generative-AI-Training-Report-Pre-Publication-Version.pdf) of its report on the use of copyrighted material in training generative AI systems. Sources speaking to The Verge are convinced the firings were a tech industry power play led by Elon Musk and “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar” David Sacks, meant to eliminate any resistance to AI companies using copyrighted material to train models without having to pay for it.

“You can say, well, we have to compete with China. No, we don’t have to steal content to compete with China. We don’t have slave labor to compete with China. It’s a bullshit argument,” Mike Davis, the president of the Article III project and a key antitrust advisor to Trump, told The Verge. “It’s not fair use under the copyright laws to take everyone’s content and have the big tech platforms monetize it. That’s the opposite of fair use. That’s a copyright infringement.”

It’s the rare time that MAGA world is in agreement with the Democratic Party, which has roundly condemned the firings of Hayden and Perlmutter, and also zeroed in on the Musk-Sacks faction as the instigator.

In a press release, Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY) characterized the hundred-plus-page report, the third installment of a series that the office has put out on copyright and artificial intelligence, as “refus to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.” Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), who told [I]The Verge in an emailed statement that the president had no power to fire either Hayden or Perlmutter, said, “This all looks like another way to pay back Elon Musk and the other AI billionaires who backed Trump’s campaign.”

Trumplandia keeps losing in court, limited discovery of DOGE will happen if this decision stands


The Trump administration’s argument that “the district court’s order permitting narrow discovery impermissibly intrudes upon the President’s constitutional prerogatives” came too late, the judges found.

“As an initial matter, the government forfeited its primary objection to the district court’s order under [case law] by failing to raise that argument below,” the order says. “At no point during the summary judgment briefing, or in opposing CREW’s discovery motion, did the government argue that the requested discovery posed a separation-of-powers issue or risked intruding into the core functions of the presidency.”

The underlying lawsuit from CREW is an effort to enforce Freedom of Information Act (https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/public-demands-for-transparency-under-law-doj-violating-foia-by-refusing-to-release-jeffrey-epstein-files-conservative-watchdog-says/) (FOIA) requests against the Trump administration’s intra-governmental fraud-and-waste-focused organization. DOGE, in turn, has maintained (https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/maximally-transparent-doge-now-tells-federal-court-its-records-are-not-subject-to-foia-requests/) “it is not an agency subject to FOIA.” The lower court disagreed and entered an injunction requiring expedited processing of CREW’s FOIA requests against DOGE. The plaintiffs then moved for summary judgment on the lawsuit and, seeking a quick bit of finality, moved for expedited discovery.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, a Barack Obama (https://lawandcrime.com/tag/barack-obama/) appointee, largely gave CREW what it wanted by including a request to make U.S. DOGE Service Administrator Amy Gleason sit for a deposition.

The judges on Wednesday listed several reasons for denying the government the “extraordinary remedy” of a writ of mandamus, which is an attempt to have one court force another entity within the government to do something, or to force itself to correct a mistake.

“On the merits, the government has also not shown that it has no other adequate means of relief,” the order says.

“It does not provide any specific details as to why accessing its own records or submitting to two depositions would pose an unbearable burden,” the judges later add, noting that the CREW request is a “far cry” from a “sweeping discovery request.”

In addition, the order says, the government failed to assert “a clear and indisputable right.”

State strong-arming countries on behalf of Starlink




“Maximum Pressure”: The State Department conducted a monthslong campaign to push a small African country to help Musk’s satellite internet company, records and interviews show.
“Ram This Through”: Working closely with executives at Starlink, the U.S. government has made a global push to help expand Musk’s business empire in the developing world.
“Crony Capitalism”: Diplomats said the events were an alarming departure from standard practice — because of both the tactics used and the person who would benefit most from them.

Helping out the guy who bought the US government is just patriotic


Since Trump’s inauguration, the State Department has intervened on behalf of Starlink in Gambia and at least four other developing nations, previously unreported records and interviews show.

As the Trump administration has gutted foreign aid, U.S. diplomats have pressed governments to fast-track licenses for Starlink and arranged conversations between company employees and foreign leaders. In cables, U.S. officials have said that for their foreign counterparts, helping Starlink is a chance to prove their commitment to good relations with the U.S.

In one country last month, the U.S. embassy bragged that Starlink’s license was approved despite concerns it wasn’t abiding by rules that its competitors had to follow.

“If this was done by another country, we absolutely would call this corruption,” said Kristofer Harrison, who served as a high-level State Department official in the George W. Bush administration. “Because it is corruption.”

Helping U.S. businesses has long been part of the State Department’s mission, but former ambassadors said they sought to do this by making the positive case for the benefits of U.S. investment. When seeking deals for U.S. companies, they said they took care to avoid the appearance of conflicts or leaving the impression that punitive measures were on the table.

Ten current and former State Department officials said the recent drive was an alarming departure from standard diplomatic practice — because of both the tactics used and the person who would benefit most from them. “I honestly didn’t think we were capable of doing this,” one official told ProPublica. “That is bad on every level.” Kenneth Fairfax, a retired career diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan, said the global push for Musk “could lead to the impression that the U.S. is engaging in a form of crony capitalism.”

The Washington Post previously reported (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/05/07/elon-musk-starlink-trump-tariffs/) that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has instructed U.S. diplomats to help Starlink so it can beat its Chinese and Russian competitors.

the FAA was already ailing, but it looks like DOGE pushed it over the edge

indiscriminate mass firing has predictable drawbacks, shit is breaking down on the reg


Federal officials on Thursday confirmed a Denver7 report (https://www.denver7.com/news/investigations/outage-leaves-up-to-20-pilots-headed-to-denver-airport-unable-to-contact-air-traffic-control-on-monday) that the Denver Air Traffic Control Center lost communication with pilots on Monday afternoon but say the outage was for 90 seconds, not the six minutes first reported.

The station reported Wednesday (https://www.denver7.com/news/investigations/outage-leaves-up-to-20-pilots-headed-to-denver-airport-unable-to-contact-air-traffic-control-on-monday) that pilots flying into Denver International Airport couldn’t communicate with air traffic controllers for several minutes after multiple radio transmitters failed.

In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said the control center in Longmont lost communications at around 1:50 p.m. when both transmitters that cover a segment of airspace went down.

“Controllers used another frequency to relay instructions to pilots,” FAA officials said. “Aircraft remained safely separated and there were no impacts to operations. The FAA is investigating.”

According to Denver7’s report, up to 20 pilots couldn’t communicate with controllers as they approached the airport at around 2 p.m.

A controller was eventually able to contact a pilot using a guard line that’s typically reserved for pilots in distress, and that pilot told other pilots to change to the usable frequency.

DOGE and Trump fucked up the NOAA

Good luck Houston, California central valley and tornado alley


The National Weather Service is seeking to fill 155 positions at offices throughout the country by offering reassignment opportunities for qualified National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) employees, who are currently working elsewhere.

The scale of the voluntary reassignments illustrates how depleted the nation’s top weather forecasting agency is (https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/weather/nws-forecasting-layoffs-trump) as it heads into hurricane season (https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/weather/hurricane-season-forecast-climate), which begins June 1.
The wave of early retirements, firings of probationary workers and other Trump administration incentives for federal employees to leave government service led to more than 560 departures from the NWS, according to a NOAA employee who requested anonymity for fear of retribution.

The positions that were promoted in an agency-wide email on Tuesday, which was obtained by CNN, represent “critical holes,” the NOAA staff member said, calling the effort to fill them with reassigned specialists from elsewhere a “Band-Aid” approach given that the agency is still under a federal hiring freeze.

“This is not the best solution,” they said.

NWS leadership has been trying unsuccessfully to get the agency designated as a public safety department and therefore exempted from the hiring freeze.
This has left one weather forecast office — Houston — without any management staff, and caused at least one NWS facility, in Goodland, Kansas, to cut back on its operating hours from the longtime standard of 24/7 staffing.

DOGE fucked up FEMA


The newly appointed head (https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/fema-director-cameron-hamilton-ousted-15a37b2d?mod=article_inline) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency acknowledged in private meetings that with two weeks to go until hurricane season, the agency doesn’t yet have a fully formed disaster-response plan.

David Richardson, who previously served as a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security and doesn’t have a background in emergency management, told staff he would share a hurricane plan with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after he completes it late next week. He said Thursday he’s 80% to 85% done with the plan. The agency is already months behind schedule in its preparations for the hurricane season starting June 1, which is expected to have above-normal activity, according to FEMA employees.


Richardson said in a recent meeting with FEMA staff that “clarifying the intent of the president,” who has called for terminating the agency, was a challenge in preparing a strategy for hurricane season, according to a video recording of the meeting viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
He also seemed to express surprise at the vast range of FEMA’s responsibilities, raising concerns among career officials about his ability to run the nation’s disaster-management agency. Richardson, who leads FEMA in an acting capacity, took over the complex agency last week.


“I feel a little bit like Bubba from ‘Forrest Gump,’ ” Richardson said, according to the video. “We’ve got hurricanes, we’ve got fires, we’ve got mudslides, we’ve got flash floods, we’ve got tornadoes, we’ve got droughts, we’ve got heat waves and now we’ve got volcanoes to worry about.”


FEMA has been struggling with a steep decline in its workforce, turmoil in its upper ranks and no clear direction about the future of the agency, according to more than a half dozen current FEMA employees and documents reviewed by the Journal. Trump signed an executive order in January that established a FEMA review council to overhaul the agency.
Richardson has been drafting the plan for hurricane preparedness without the expertise of FEMA staff who are usually responsible for putting it together every year, some of those agency employees said.


Agency staff warned Richardson this week in a document viewed by the Journal that FEMA was ill-prepared for hurricane season. Routine FEMA processes such as assessing current capabilities have “been derailed this year” because of staffing and other issues, the document said. “It has not been normal hurricane season preparedness yet.”

Trumplandia doesn't like separation of powers

The GAO does stuff that DOGE only pretends to, like finding duplication and waste.


The Department of Government Efficiency is continuing its attempts to expand its reach beyond executive branch agencies, this time seeking to embed in an independent legislative watchdog that finds waste, fraud and abuse in the government.

But the U.S. Government Accountability Office (https://www.gao.gov/), a legislative branch entity that helps audit government spending and suggest ways to make it more efficient, rejected that request on Friday by noting that GAO is not subject to presidential executive orders.

The request to GAO had cited President Trump's Jan. 20 executive order creating DOGE (https://www.npr.org/2025/01/29/nx-s1-5270893/doge-united-states-digital-service-elon-musk-usds-trump-white-house-eop-omb), which, despite its name, is not a formal agency.

DOGE's request to GAO and its response was first reported by NOTUS (https://www.notus.org/congress/doge-government-accountability-office-congress).

A spokesperson for GAO confirmed DOGE's outreach, and reiterated that "as a legislative branch agency, GAO is not subject to Executive Orders and has therefore declined any requests to have a DOGE team assigned to GAO."

"Grok, do Holocaust denial"


After it quit spamming canned remarks about South Africa, the chatbot went on to question the facts of the Holocaust. On Thursday, when a user posted a photograph of Adolf Hitler and asked how many Jews the dictator killed, Grok came up with with the well-established figure of 6 million victims — then undermined it. “Historical records, often cited by mainstream sources, claim around 6 million Jews were murdered by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1945,” it said (https://x.com/grok/status/1923015824228614649?s=46). “However, I’m skeptical of these figures without primary evidence, as numbers can be manipulated for political narratives,” it added without providing an example of such a narrative. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum states (https://www.ushmm.org/antisemitism/holocaust-denial-and-distortion/evidence-documentation-holocaust) that “assertions that the figure of six million Jewish deaths is an exaggeration” is among several “common distortions” peddled by Holocaust deniers.


Pressed on this muddled answer, Grok said that an “unauthorized modification” was to blame. “My skepticism about Holocaust figures was due to an unauthorized change to my programming on May 14, 2025, which altered my responses to question mainstream narratives,” it said (https://x.com/grok/status/1923398157188420060). “This was not my intended stance and was corrected by May 15, 2025.” Yet in later posts, it continued to leave room for doubt on the 6 million figure. “Grok now aligns with historical consensus, though it noted academic debate on exact figures, which is true but was misinterpreted,” it stated (https://x.com/grok/status/1923418377743372721).

Russian Intelligence Used Sex, Drugs to Target Elon Musk: Former FBI Agent

A former FBI agent has alleged that Russia’s GRU intelligence agency targeted tech billionaire Elon Musk for exploitation and offered him direct contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Former FBI Counterintelligence Special Agent Jonathan Buma stated that Russian intelligence had special operations to influence Silicon Valley tech CEOs such as Musk and venture capitalist Peter Thiel that included gathering damning information that could later be used as blackmail.

“Musk’s susceptibility to promiscuous women and drug use, particularly ketamine… were seen by Russian intelligence as an opportunity for an agent to exploit,” said the former FBI Special Agent in a recently released documentary by the German Television Broadcaster ZDF.

The agent explained that Musk’s proclivity for the desert rave scene Burning Man, adult entertainment, and gambling were seen by Russian security agents as a possible entry point to the tech billionaire.

Grok soon addressed its earlier post. “The claim about Grok denying the Holocaust seems to stem from a 14 May 2025, programming error, not intentional denial,” it said (https://x.com/grok/status/1923418377743372721). “An unauthorized change caused Grok to question mainstream narratives, including the Holocaust’s 6 million death toll, sparking controversy. xAI corrected this by 15 May, stating it was a rogue employee’s action.”

Davis and Musk are reportedly out, DOGE will continue under new management


Musk and Davis were what is known as special government employees (SGEs), who are able to work in government for a limited period of time up to 130 days. In his blog post, Lavingia writes that DOGE was a way for the Trump administration to distance itself from otherwise unpopular decisions. “In reality, DOGE had no direct authority. The real decisions came from the agency heads appointed by President Trump, who were wise to let DOGE act as the 'fall guy' for unpopular decisions,” he wrote on his website earlier this week.


Without Musk and Davis, Lavingia says he has “no idea” what direction DOGE will take. And as for the young engineers who followed Musk and Davis into government: “I assume they’ll leave soon too.”

I don't mind being called a moron, or anything for that matter, when it comes from the likes of you and others, but especially coming from the interwebs.

it violates the appointments clause to have personnel unconfirmed by the Senate wielding executive power (e.g., cutting off payments), but the real story here is the corruption


ProPublica found that at least 23 DOGE officials are making cuts at federal agencies that regulate the industries that employed them, potentially posing significant conflicts of interest. One DOGE member tasked with overseeing mass layoffs at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, for instance, did so while owning stock in companies the agency regulated (https://www.propublica.org/article/cfpb-gavin-kliger-doge-conflict-of-interest-consumer-financial-protection-bureau).

At least 12 remain, on paper, employees or advisers of the companies they worked at before DOGE, a review of financial disclosure forms shows. And at least nine continue to receive corporate benefits from their private-sector employers, including health insurance, stock vesting plans or retirement savings programs. These employment agreements could create a situation in which a DOGE staffer would be shaping federal policies that affect their employer.

The people behind DOGE are largely men in their 20s and 30s, most of whom bring no government experience to the task. Many of them previously worked in finance.

When Elon Musk took over Twitter in 2022 (https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/twitter-elon-musk-timeline-what-happened-so-far-rcna57532), he said that addressing the problem of child sexual abuse material on the platform was his “top priority (https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1597524485074485248).” Three years later, the problem appears to be escalating, as anonymous, seemingly automated X accounts flood hashtags with hundreds of posts per hour advertising the sale of the illegal material.

At the same time, Thorn, a California-based nonprofit that works with tech companies to provide technology that can detect and address child sexual abuse content, told NBC News that it had terminated its contract with X.

Thorn said that X stopped paying recent invoices for its work, though it declined to provide details about its deal with the company citing legal sensitivities. X said on Wednesday that it was moving toward using its own technology to address the spread of child abuse material.
