BREAKING: A while back, I sued DOGE (FOIA) to get Musk's communications. DOJ argued that Musk wasn't a govt employee anymore, BUT Hegseth just hired him again to work on a Pentagon warfare initiative called Project Meridian. So we noticed Judge Boasberg. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

elon musk on: stealth aircraft

(for the record: everyone involved with low-observable aircraft is acutely aware that they are not "invisible," they just have an rcs so small they can't be effectively detected until they are close enough to have already launched weapons and that is super useful.)

In important decision for separation of powers, court rules Trump cannot fire court-appointed US Attorney, which would circumvent Senate’s role of advice and consent. If Trump wants to replace him, Trump must nominate a confirmable candidate.

Judge rules Trump can’t fire court-appointed prosecutors

"From intelligence reports and individuals within Putin's inner circle, we know that in early September Putin declared: 'From now on, there are no rules.' The Russians failed to occupy us, so now they are resorting to massive strikes and mass killings.

The White House calls Trump’s taxpayer-funded TV ad “education.” Education about what? That a president can use government money to put himself on TV while people are trying to cover rent, groceries, and gas?

That arrogance costs all of us. #PayToPlayPresident

Trump says a war is not a war, therefore the War Powers Act doesn’t apply.

Trump says political ads are not ads they are “public service announcements,” therefore the laws banning the use of taxpayer $ don’t apply.
