The shit stain tried to halt all federal funding. He was unsuccessful, because of course it’s illegal to stop funding authorized by congress, but now, the unelected richest person on the planet has taken control of the servers that send out checks for the USA. I can’t imagine how this might go wrong.

Quite a few of our best minds have weighed in on the subject, all of them with worthwhile takes:

Of course, I can’t find ANY reporting on this since early this morning, because this weekend also saw Trump start his completely asinine trade war and also Musk, Trump and Rubio are doing their best to dismantle USAID, and there’s only so much bandwidth for their illegality.

Sometime last week, Elon Musk’s cronies took over the Office of Personnel Management, sending out a “fork in the Road” email that, fraudulently, promised to pay any federal workers who quit their posts pay through September or so.

This – illegal on so many planes – act is a type of coup, and yet no one in mainstream media, or in the democratic party is raising any fuss.

I guess you just have to do things on the weekend.

A part of me suspects that the Democrats are active in their silence in order to try to let his extremism hang himself. It’s not a terrible strategy, except that, Elon, emboldened by his takeover of OPM, has now gone to take over the Treasury.

That part is really bad, more on that later.

Donald Trump was inaugurated. He immediately signed around 30 executive orders, which had been previously written by Project 2025 – which he claimed while campaigning that he didn’t know anything about and generally disavowed. He also rescinded about 70 of Biden’s EO’s… because… he’s a petty cry baby piece of shit. Among the Biden EO’s he rescinded was one about keeping the price of insulin below $25 for Medicare recipients and another about research for pediatric cancer.

For this blog, I will try to only refer to Trump as “Shit Stain” or SS for short. I hope and pray that he becomes just that in time: A shit stain on our country’s history. I’m writing this blog because I’m afraid that he and his ilk will cement their reign forever.

Tech bros with social media platforms have all bent the knee, donated bribed him with millions to grease the wheels. Elon Musk has become an unelected, fascist who has taken over the Office of Personnel Management. (More on that later). Legacy media continues to capitulate to him. Literal billionaires cave to his fickle demands, we are well and truly fucked. He is, in so many ways, the weakest he has ever been and yet for some reason, every entity who should stand up to him capitulates.

Fuck them all. When the dust settles from this we should line them up on the wall with him.

Eat the rich.
