Yup, it's so fucking profitable to grift on the right. Makes me wish I had a platform lol. It's pretty wild though how they'll accuse others like Hasan of being paid for shills by the left, like why would you NOT do a right wing grift. Hell even the Young Turks are starting to lean that way.
Napoleon was a great general, just like Trump is!"He's only quoting Napoleon, what's the problem?" - Republicans.
Hearing and reading a lot about nursing during this administration change. Specifically, VA nurses, who comprise of the largest group of federal employees.
Around 80% of VA facilities were understaffed prior to any changes under Trump. Those nurses were offered the severance pay, which many took because...well...they're nurses and can either double dip income or take a months long vacation and get a job immediately when the severance pay dries up.
Now, they've apparently told any probationary employees (staff under 2 years of seniority) that they will be let go. I've heard multiple stories of friends moving within the last year and then being told they're out of work. One person had just accepted an offer, moved, then had it rescinded before they ever started.
I'm skeptical how much of this is true. I'm sure some of it is. But the VA would absolutely crumble under the weight of 10% or more of their nursing staff leaving.
One of my colleagues was just hired about 7 months ago at the VA. Hopefully they don't get fired.
Musk and his minions are doing an awful job at keeping sensitive info private.
The new DOGE website has been hacked. According to the hackers, the DOGE site’s security flaws stemmed from its use of a database known as Cloudflare Pages—an unsecured platform that anyone with access could edit. So they pretty much left their Database open.
Tech outlets, including The Verge, are raising alarms about the broader implications of the hack, which casts a shadow on Musk's ability to manage its digital infrastructure. Just days before the DOGE breach, Musk's newly launched waste.gov site faced its own security crisis, requiring a hasty lockdown after it was discovered using an unfinished WordPress template.

Gee maybe because they used their own hardware and Elon Musk is a fucking moron
I mean it's a general principle that security is literally the last consideration when it comes to anything IT because management doesn't understand it....and Musk is a fucking grade A idiot so it's 1000x times that effect. I'm pretty sure the original paypal let you just fucking make payments from other people's bank accounts without verification or something like that.
The media is getting a lot of mileage out of the fact that one of the NY prosecutors that resigned is an officewear-pretty youngish white woman. I really think the resignation stories would have gone 10% as far if they weren't paired with pictures of her.
Our media environment is bad in a very base way.
My Brother said it best: NA Media is effectively misery porn. It's a never ending deluge of bullshit and manipulation of stories in an attempt to make the news rather than report it like Faux News has seriously damaged peoples perception of reality over the last 40 years.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.
Got'em!

Trump gonna be at the Daytona 500 today so let’s all hope for a final destination recreation
I'm sorry but, after decades of Trump, if you fell for this then you deserve the misfortune that happened to you. You gotta be a special brand of retard to believe Trump of all people was going to pay out a severance when he could just fire you instead.
The days of feeling bad for people volunteering for the scam are over.
