CloudFlare saved the Internet Archive servers from a DDOS yesterday.

So, uh, yeah. A ton of Dems just gave the Trump FTC more power to censor the internet. Great job guys.

Right? Trump's DOJ lawyers said straight-up in an official court filing that Musk was NOT an employee of DOGE and has "no actual or formal authority." So ignore the shit out of his bullshit tweets and threats. He ain't the boss of you..
