Yours is among the best. And, as one of Brian's followers said: "I ought to know, I've followed a few."

You might survive Trump and Musk, but starting to doubt if the US will survive Lutnick (Nutlick) and Loomer.

* Logs on to social media
* While reaffirming "I will NOT post anymore, just read."
* Sees yet ANOTHER yet more outrageous and unbelievable news item.
* Breaks promise immediately and posts unbelievable item.
Item:
Trump announced tonight that he will now be selling US citizenship for $5 million: “We’re going to be selling a Trump Gold Card. We going to put a price on that card of $5 million. It’s going to give you Green Card privileges plus. It’s going to be a route to citizenship and wealthy people will be coming into our country.”
… He was then asked if a Russian oligarch could buy the card: “Yeah, possibly. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people. I think they can afford $5 million.”

Can imagine the surviving #Robodebt-loving cohort at DHS/Centrelink will closely watch this unfold at the US's SSA:
..."nominee to become SSA Commissioner is Frank Bisignano, a tech executive and major Republican donor [whose] plans to deal with delays and staff shortages at SSA (Social Services admin) is to replace humans on the 800 help line and in other areas with #AI. So you get a sense of what’s coming down the pike."

Raskin just completed my bingo card for all the terms required to describe #USPol atm.
Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.”

Those who have fought for a country - have risked life for it, respect it, and take its laws seriously - have no tolerance for the loathsome, morally bankrupt, self-seeking underclass of humanity who have no concept of civilisation, how it came to exist, or why it continues to.
"Today, Hagan Scotten, the acting assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, resigned in a blistering letter to Bove, calling his justification for dropping the charges against (NY mayor) Adams 'transparently pretextual.'
"Scotten - who earned two bronze stars as a troop commander in Iraq and clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts - told Bove that '[t]here is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake…. [A]ny assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way.' "
"He continued: 'If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss the case]. But it was never going to be me. Please consider this my resignation.' "

Yep. It's effectively and overnight a pariah state around the world. Except, as you said, Russia - and of course, Israel.

"...the thing about 150-year-old Social Security beneficiaries may be another comical error. Apparently in #COBOL — obsolete in the business world but still used in government — a missing date of birth is registered as 1875.
"Commenters on X and Threads say the same. So the only “fraud” here is the pretence that Musk’s child programmers have any idea what they’re doing."

Robert Reich:
"Today, Musk in the Oval Office claimed drastic reductions in the federal workforce were justified because it was rife with fraud.
"For the richest person in the world to be given a bully-pulpit in the Oval Office to impugn civil servants' integrity is beyond shameful.
"Musk has the integrity of a slug.
"Musk’s six corporations were under more than 32 continuing investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies, according to a review by The New York Times.
"Most of these cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the agencies that initiated them are being defanged by Musk and Trump."

"Of course #DeepSeek lied about its training costs, as we had strongly suspected. SemiAnalysis has been following DeepSeek for the past several months.

Well, that's another excellent (and related) reason "need I not explain" 😀

Waiting for #Trump's brain to explode won't work (need I explain why?) but taunting the shit out of him with #Elon questions might tip him over the edge. Love to see him totally lose it on TV. Really, actually, outright lose it. Psychotic break and all.

"… Trump continued to get questions about Elon Musk, and continued to get more annoyed: 'Is there anything you've told Elon Musk he cannot touch?' Trump: 'Well, we haven't discussed that much.'
"When it starts to sink in that a big chunk of the American public thinks Musk is really in charge and he is just a doddering old fool, there will be hell to pay. He’s fighting it right now, but the more it keeps getting brought up to him the better.
"… Then the next reporter: 'Will you put Elon Musk up on the podium for us to ask him some questions?' Trump, now fuming that these questions are not about him: 'Sure. He's not shy. Elon is not shy.' "

Your Car is Broken. We sold the good parts and kept the money. Here's your bill.
#USPol #USPolitics #Oligarchy
"The parts of the government that work to implement laws have been maligned for decades. Americans have been told that the people who provide them with services are conspirators within a “deep state.” We have been instructed that the billionaires are the heroes.
"All of this work was preparatory to the coup that is going on now. The federal government has immense capacity and control over trillions of dollars. That power was a cocreation of the American people. It belongs to them. The oligarchs around Trump are working now to take it for themselves.
"Theirs is a logic of destruction. It is very hard to create a large, legitimate, functioning government. The oligarchs have no plan to govern. They will take what they can, and disable the rest. The destruction is the point. They don’t want to control the existing order. They want disorder in which their relative power will grow."
