The quislings at Paul Weiss didn't even try to fight it, just instantly rolled over and committed to around 20,000 to 40,000 hours (given their current rates) of free legal services to advance incompetence, corruption, bigotry, and fascism.

This is a US court of law, refusing to bar illegal actions of the Executive branch out of an explicit concern that its agents will react with deadly force.

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.
Go ahead, keep complaining…
1. The DOGE website is garbage.
The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided.
And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract.
So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

Get in loser, we're tanking the economy
More of this!
Mexico and Canada should both ban X and Facebook.
As well as every other democracy in the world that wants to stay in existence.

screenshot that reads Elon Musk almost needed SFPD wellness check after ‘breakdown,’ getting booed at Dave Chappelle show ‘He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset’ that Twitter employees feared he would hurt himself, the author of a new book says about the billionaire
Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.
What I’m saying is we can go harder.
This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.
Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."
The first will be in Phoenix March 5.
Shutting down already-installed infrastructure in the name of government "efficiency" while also harming business competitors of a government official who just happens to have his own network of EV chargers.
Isbell last night…. One song has a line about the guitar solo from ‘Kid Charlemagne’ and after he said something like:
“no one can play that solo so don’t even try…well, no one but @treyanastasio.bsky.social from #Phish. He can play anything. And Larry Carlton, of course.”
I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers
Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?
Extract from WSJ story. A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call in December from a lawyer at X. The message was clear, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation: Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk's social-media platform, or else. X CEO Linda Yaccarino has made comments that seemed like similar warnings in conversations with Interpublic executives, according to people with knowledge of those talks. Interpublic leaders interpreted the communications from X as reminders that the recently announced $13 billion deal to merge Interpublic with rival Omnicom Group OMC -0.53% could be torpedoed, or at least slowed down, by the Trump administration, given Musk's powerful role in the federal government, some of the people said. They also had a front-row seat to Musk's continued criticism of advertisers that ditched X since he bought it in 2022, when it was known as Twitter.
Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal.
X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers.
That’s extortion.
